Skoda Rapid NH 2013 Maintenance, Workshop Manual page 79

WARNING
On Škoda vehicles, the VW standard for engine oils VW
508 00/509 00 has been introduced for some engines.
An engine oil according to VW engine oil standard 508 00/509
00 reduces the CO 2 emissions and can reduce fuel consump‐
tion. Furthermore, this oil is prescribed for gasoline engines
with Otto particle filter.
♦ An engine oil under VW engine oil standard 508 00/509
00 must not be filled into older generations of engine. If
the oil compliant with VW engine oil standard 508 00/509
00 is used in engines for which it is not intended, the en‐
gine may be damaged.
♦ Engines factory-filled with oil under VW engine oil stand‐
ard 508 00 can also be filled with oil under VW engine oil
standard 504 00 in case of service. However, this does not
apply to engines with the prescribed VW engine oil stand‐
ard VW 508 00!
♦ Using oil VW 504 00 instead of VW 508 00 may result in
slightly worse exhaust gas values.
♦ On some markets, the oil under VW engine oil standard
508 00 must not be used – see the following table for these
markets
