Engine oil specifications
The grade of engine oil should be selected in accordance with pre-
cise 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 continuous further development. Thus the
information stated in this Owner's Manual is only correct at the time of publica-
tion.
Specialist garages are informed by ŠKODA about the latest changes. We recom-
mend having this oil change undertaken by a specialist garage.
The specifications (VW standards) stated in the following must be indicated sepa-
rately or together with other specifications on the bottle.

CAUTION
Only the above-mentioned oils may be used on vehicles with flexible service inter-
vals (QG1). We recommend always refilling with oil of the same specification since
this will maintain the properties of the oil. In exceptional cases, you must top up
only once engine oil complying with Specification VW 502 00 (only for petrol en-
gines) or Specification 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 en-
gine oil which complies with the specification for your vehicle. Consequently, you
will always have the correct engine oil for refilling.
● We recommend using oils from the ŠKODA Original Accessories.
