Engine oil specificationsThe grade of engine oil should be se
lected in accordance with precise
specifications.The engine of your vehicle has been factory-
filled with a high-grade oil which you can
use throughout the year - except in extreme climatic regions. You can mix various oils together with each other when refilling with oil. This does not, however, apply for models with flexible service intervals (QG1). Engine oils are, of course, undergoing co
ntinuous further deve
lopment. Thus the
information stated in this Owner's Manual is
only correct at the time of publication.
Specialist garages are informed by Škoda
Auto about current changes. We recommend
having this oil change undertaken by a specialist garage. The specifications (VW standards) stated in the following must be indicated separately or together with other specifications on the bottle. Engine oil specifications for models
with flexible service intervals (QG1)
Engine oil specifications for vehicles with fixed service intervals (QG2) If the oils specified above are not available, oils according to ACEA A2 or ACEA A3 can be used once for refilling. If the oils specified above are not available,
oils according to ACEA B3 or ACEA B4 can
be used once for refilling.

Caution
Only the above-mentioned oils may be used on vehicles with flexible service intervals (QG1). We recommend always refilling with oil of the same specification since this will maintain the properties of the oil. In exce
ptional cases, you must top up only once
engine oil complying with Specification VW
502 00 (only for petrol engines) or Specifi-
cation VW 505 01 (only for diesel engines) to maximum 0.5 litres. You must not use other engine oils - risk of engine damage!
Note

Before a long drive we recommend that you purchase and carry with you engine
oil which complies with the specification
for your vehicle. Co
nsequently, you will
always have the correct engine oil for refilling.
We recommend using a preservative from the Škoda original accessories offered
by your Škoda dealer.
