The correct oil specifications for your engine
›››
are listed in the  page 49, Engine oil
specifications.
Service intervals
Service intervals can be flexible (LongLife
service) or fixed (dependent on time/distance
travelled).
Flexible service intervals (LongLife service
intervals*)
Special oils and processes have been devel-
oped which, depending on the characteris-
tics 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 ob-
serving the following indications:
Avoid mixing it with oil for fixed service inter-
●
vals.
Only in exceptional circumstances, if the
●
›››
engine oil level is too low page 351,
Checking engine oil level and LongLife oil is
not available, it is permitted to top up (once)
with oil for fixed service intervals
›››
 page 49 (up to a maximum of 0.5 li-
tres).
Checking and refilling levels
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 also appear in
›››

page 49, Engine oil specifications. In
this case, your vehicle must be serviced after
a fixed interval of 1 year/15,000 km (10,000
›››
miles)(whatever comes first)
Vehicles with diesel particulate filter*
Only VW 507 00 engine oil, with reduced ash
formation, may be used in diesel engines
equipped with particulate filter. Using other
types of oil will cause a higher soot concen-
tration and reduce the life of the DPF. There-
fore:
Avoid mixing this oil with other engine oils.
