188 Checking and refilling levels
Service intervals
Service intervals can be flexible (LongLife service) or fixed (dependent on
time/distance travelled).
If the PR code that appears on the back of the "Maintenance Programme"
booklet is PR QI6, this means that your vehicle has the LongLife service pro-
grammed. If it lists the codes QI1, QI2, QI3, QI4 or QI7, the interval service
is dependent on time/distance travelled.
Flexible service intervals (LongLife service intervals*)
Special oils and processes have been developed which, depending on the
characteristics and individual driving profiles, enable the extension of the
oil change service (LongLife service intervals).
Because this oil is essential for extending the service intervals, it must only
be used observing the following indications:
● Avoid mixing it with oil for fixed service intervals.
● Only in exceptional circumstances, if the engine oil level is too low
⇒ p age 189 and LongLife oil is not available, it is permitted to top up
(once) with oil for fixed service intervals ⇒ p age 188 (up to a maximum of
0.5 litres).
Fixed service intervals*
If your vehicle does not have the "LongLife service interval" or it has been
disabled (by request), you may use oils for fixed service intervals, which al-
so appear in ⇒ p age 188, Oil properties. In this case, your vehicle must be
serviced after a fixed interval of 1 year/15,000 km (10,000 miles)(whichev-
er comes first) ⇒ B ooklet Maintenance Programme.
● In exceptional circumstances, if the engine oil level is too low
⇒ p age 189 and you cannot obtain the oil specified for your vehicle, you
can put in a small quantity of oil conforming to the specification ACEA A2 or
ACEA A3 (petrol engines) or ACEA B3 or ACEA B4 (diesel engines) (up to
0.5 l).
Vehicles with diesel particulate filter*
The "Maintenance Programme" states whether your vehicle is fitted with a
diesel particulate filter.
Only VW 507 00 engine oil, with reduced ash formation, may be used in die-
sel engines equipped with particulate filter. Using other types of oil will
cause a higher soot concentration and reduce the life of the DPF. Therefore:
● Avoid mixing this oil with other engine oils.
● Only in exceptional circumstances, if the engine oil level is too low
⇒ p age 189 and you cannot obtain the oil specified for your vehicle, you
can use a small quantity of oil (once) conforming to the VW 506 00,
VW 506 01, VW 505 00, VW 505 01 or ACEA B3/ACEA B4 specification. (up
to 0.5 l).
