Key to ›››Fig.230:
Information about the engine oil standard.
Information about engine oil viscosity.
The engine comes with a special, multi-grade
oil that can be used all year round.
Because the use of high-quality oil is essential
for 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.
For vehicles with an engine oil label
If the engine oil has to be topped up, use one
of the oils shown on the label ›››Fig.230.
The label with the prescribed standard is loca-
ted at the front of the engine compartment

. If you use the recommended
engine oil, you can top up the oil as often as
necessary.
For vehicles without an engine oil label
Contact a specialised workshop or SEAT of-
ficial service for information about the corre-
sponding standard.
If the engine oil level is too low
If the recommended engine oil is not availa-
ble, in the event of an emergency you can
change the oil once with a maximum of 0.5 l of
the next oil until the next oil change:
Petrol engines: standard VW50400,
ACEA C3, ACEA C4, API SN or IL-
SACGF-6A.
Diesel engines: standard VW50700,

SEAT recommends changing the oil at a speci-
alised workshop. SEAT recommends an Ocial
SEAT Service.
NOTICE
SEAT recommends the use of engine oils
approved according to the appropriate VW
standard. Use of engine oils that do not meet
these quality requirements can cause engine
damage.
SEAT recommends the use of Original SEAT
Spare Part engine oils.
Engine oil additives
No type of additive should be mixed with the
engine oil. The deterioration caused by these
additives is not covered by the warranty.
Depending on how you drive and the conditions
in which the vehicle is used, oil consumption
can be up to 0.5 l/1000km. Oil consumption
is likely to be higher for the first 5,000 km. For
this reason the engine oil level must be checked
at regular intervals, preferably when filling the
tank and before a journey.
NOTICE
0.5 l of engine oil of one of the indicated en-
gine oil standards may be used, only in the
event of an emergency and in exceptional
cases.
