Have the oil changed by a specialised work-
shop.
Using engine oil that is compliant with the VW
504 00 standard instead of VW 508 00
could increase consumption and the vehicle's
CO emissions.

Recommended by SEAT
SEAT recommends using original SEAT oil to
guarantee high SEAT engine performance.
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.
●
Only in exceptional circumstances, if the
●
engine oil level is too low
you cannot obtain the oil specified for your
vehicle, you can use a small quantity of oil

(once) conforming to the specifications

Engine oil additives
No type of additive should be mixed with the
engine oil. The deterioration caused by these
additives is not covered by the warranty.
Note
Before a long trip, we recommend finding
an engine oil that conforms to the corre-
sponding VW specifications and recom-
mend keeping it in the vehicle. This way, the
correct engine oil will always be available
for a top-up if needed.
