General recommendations:
If oi l th a t meets the applicab le swagcn oil quality standard w ith viscosity grade SAE or is no t availab le in your area,
b e sure to use viscosity g rad e suitabl e for the cl i­mate, sea so n, a nd operati ng conditions th at exi st where the vehicle is used. Make sure the oil meets
th e quality standard listed table on page 248.
Engine oils arc consta ntl y being improved. swa gen dea lers and Service Facilities are alway s regarding new deve lopments and chan ges. Volk s wagen therefore recommends that
yo u have the e ngin e oil changed by an authorized Volk swagen dealer or an author ized Volk swagen
Service Facility.

If yo u need to add oil and there is none avail­
a bl e that meets th e Volkswagen oil quality stan­dard your en gi ne requires, you may add a to ta l of no more than 1/2 quart of a high-quality

Us e only a high quality engine oil that ex­pressly complies with the Volkswagen oil standard specified fo r your ve hicle's engine. U si ng any o ther oil can cause serious engin e damage that will not be cove re d b y any swagen Limited Warranty.
Do not mix any lubricants or other additives
into the motor oil. Doing so can cause engine damage! Damage caused by these types of addi­tives are not covered by any Volkswagen Limited

All four wheels must be fitted
with radial tires of the same type,
size (rolling circumference)
and
the same tread pattern. Driving
with different tires reduces the
vehicle handling and can lead to
a los s
of control.

Core, maint enance
Never drive faster than the
maximum speed for which the
winter or other tires installed on
your vehicle are rated because
tires that are driven faster than
their rated speed can fail sud­
denly.
Over-loading tires can cause
heat build-up, sudden tire
failure, including a
blowout and
sudden deflation and loss of con­
trol.
Temperature grades apply to
tires
that are properly inflated
and not over-or under-inflated.
