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 hav-
ing 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 accordance with VW standards. You
will need to know whether
- the vehicle is being serviced based on the
flexible 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 ve-
hicle (see Delivery Inspection section of
Service Schedule) . .,...
