Engine Oil - Skoda Superb Owner's Manual

The radiator fan is powered by an electric motor. Operation is controlled accord-
ing to the temperature of the coolant.
Windscreen washer system

First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 201.
The windscreen washer fluid reservoir is located in the engine compartment and
contains the cleaning fluid for the windscreen or rear window and for the adap-
tive headlights.
The capacity of the reservoir is about 3 litres or about 5.5 litres on vehicles that
have a headlight cleaning system.
Clear water is not sufficient to intensively clean the windscreen and headlights.
We recommend using clean water together with a screen cleaner from the range
of ŠKODA Original Accessories (with antifreeze in winter), which will remove any
stubborn dirt.
In Winter, the washing water should always be mixed with antifreeze even if the
vehicle has heated windscreen washer nozzles.
Under exceptional circumstances, methylated spirits can also be used if no screen
cleaner with antifreeze is available. The concentration of methylated spirits must
not be more than 15 %. The freeze protection at this concentration is sufficient
only to -5 °C.

CAUTION

Under no circumstances must radiator antifreeze or other additives be added to
■
the windscreen washer fluid.
If the vehicle is fitted with a headlight cleaning system, only cleaning products
■
which do not attack the polycarbonate coating of the headlights must be added
to the windscreen washer fluid.
Do not remove the filter from the windscreen washer fluid reservoir when refill-
■
ing, as this may cause contamination of the liquid transportation system, leading
in turn to a windscreen washer system malfunction.

This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Specifications and capacity
Checking the oil level
Replenishing

The engine has been factory-filled with a high-grade oil that can be use through-
out the year - except in extreme climate zones.
The engine oils are undergoing continuous further development. Thus the infor-
mation stated in this Owner's Manual is only correct at the time of publication.
ŠKODA Service Partners are informed about the latest changes by the manufac-
turer. We therefore recommend that the oil change be completed by a ŠKODA
Service Partner.
The specifications (VW standards) stated in the following can be indicated sepa-
rately or together with other specifications on the bottle.
The oil capacities include oil filter change. Check the oil level when filling; do not
over fill. The oil level must be between the markings
