Engine oil

Choosing the correct engine oil grade
The service interval display in the instrument
cluster of your vehicle will inform you when it is
time for an oil change. We recommend having
the oil changed by a qualified workshop.
If you have to top up the oil between oil changes,
use the grades of oil specified in the table in ac­
cordance with VW standards. You will need to
know whether
- the vehicle is being serviced based on the flexi­
ble or fixed oil change service (see last service
record in Service Schedule).
- the vehicle has a petrol or diesel engine (see
sticker on inside of fuel tank flap).
- a diesel particulate filter is fitted on the vehicle
(see Delivery Inspection section of Service
Schedule).
