Information about engine oil viscosity.

The engine comes with a special, multi-grade
oil that can be used all year round.
Because the use of high-quality oil is essential
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.
For vehicles with an engine oil label
If the engine oil has to be topped up, use one
of the oils shown on the label
The label with the prescribed standard is loca-
ted at the front of the engine compartment
›››
Fig. 240 . If you use the recommended
1
engine oil, you can top up the oil as often as
necessary.

Checking and refilling levels
For vehicles without an engine oil label
Contact a specialised workshop or SEAT of-
ficial service for information about the corre-
sponding standard.
If the engine oil level is too low
If the recommended engine oil is not availa-
ble, in the event of an emergency you can
change the oil once with a maximum of 0.5 l of
the next oil until the next oil change:
– Petrol engines: standard VW 504 00,
ACEA C3, ACEA C4, API SN or IL-
SAC GF-6A.
– Diesel engines: standard VW 507 00,
ACEA C3, ACEA C4 or API CK-4.
SEAT recommends changing the oil at a speci-
alised workshop. SEAT recommends an Official
SEAT Service.
NOTICE
SEAT recommends the use of engine oils
approved according to the appropriate VW
standard. Use of engine oils that do not meet
these quality requirements can cause engine
damage.

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.
NOTICE
0.5 l of engine oil of one of the indicated en-
gine oil standards may be used, only in the
event of an emergency and in exceptional
cases.
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 possible and request an oil change. Oth-
erwise, 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 (approx-
imately). Go to a specialised workshop as
soon as possible and request an oil change.
Otherwise, there is a danger of engine dam-
age.
