NOTICE
Take the following into account if you have
refilled with an engine oil different to those
specified in the aforementioned standards,
or by your SEAT technical service centre:
●
There is no way of completely avoiding the
danger of causing damage to the engine and
particulate filter.
●
You can continue driving with the vehicle if
the refill was no more than 0.5 l of engine oil.
Go to a specialised workshop as soon as pos-
sible and request an oil change. Otherwise,
there is a danger of engine damage.
●
If you have topped up more than 0.5 l of
engine oil, drive with the engine at low load
levels and within the medium RPM range as
a maximum. Do not drive at more than 80
km/h and do not travel more than 300 km
(approximately). Go to a specialised work-
shop as soon as possible and request an oil
change. Otherwise, there is a danger of en-
gine damage.
●
You are responsible for the risk of possible
damage to the vehicle (engine, exhaust sys-
tem). If in doubt, do not start the engine and
request assistance from the technical service
centre.
●
Do not start the engine if you have topped
up with a fluid other than engine oil. Request
assistance from the technical service centre.
Danger of engine damage!

Checking and refilling levels
Note
Before a long trip, we recommend finding an
engine oil that conforms to the correspond-
ing VW specifications and recommend keep-
ing it in the vehicle. This way, the correct en-
gine oil will always be available for a top-up if
needed.
