Engine oil
General notes
The engine comes with a special, multi-grade
oil that can be used all year r
ound.
Because the use of high-qualit
y oil is essen-
tial f
or the correct operation of the engine
and its long useful life, when topping up or
changing oil, use only those oils that comply
with VW standards.
The specifications (VW standards) set out in
the following page should appear on the
container of the service oil; when the contain-
er displays the specific standards for petrol
and diesel engines together, it means that the
oil can be used for both types of engines.
We recommend that the oil change indicated
in the Maintenance Programme, be per-
formed by a technical service or specialised
workshop.
