Engine oil

General notes
The engine comes with a special, multi-grade
oil that can be used all year round.
Because the use of high-quality oil is essen-
tial for the correct operation of the engine
and its long useful life, when topping up or
changing oil, use only those oils that comply
with VW standards.
We recommend that the oil change be done
by a technical service or specialised work-
shop.

You can get information about the correct en-
gine oil for your vehicle at your workshop.

of the next oil until the next oil change:
– Petrol engines: standard VW 504 00,
VW 502 00, VW 508 00, ACEA C3 or
API SN.
– Diesel engines: standard VW 507 00,
VW 505 01, ACEA C3 or API CK-4.
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.

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.

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.
