r-T'n First read and observe the introductory
L-WJ information and safety warnings~ on
page 281.
The engine oil used must correspond exactly to
specifications .
The correct engine oil is important for the function
and service l
ife of the engine . A special high quali
ty multigrade oil has been filled at the factory and
th is can
normally be used as an all-season oil.
If possible , only use Volkswagen-approved engine
o il
~CD. To comply with the requirements of the
flexible service, only use approved flexible service
engine oil that
complies with the corresponding
VW standard (~table on page 282). The engine
o ils listed are
multigrade high-lubricity oils.
Engine oils are constantly being developed and
im
proved . A Volkswagen dealership is always kept
up to date on innovations . Volkswagen therefore
recommends having engine oil changes done by a
Volkswagen dealership. The
qu
ality of the engine oil is not only ta ilor ed to
the requirements of engines and exhaust gas treat.
ment systems, but also to fuel quality . Due to the
way
in which a combustion engine works, engine
oil always comes into contact with combustion
resl
dues and fuel, which has a kno ck-o n effect on the
ageing process of the oil.
The quality of fuels can var y gr ea tly between lndl·
vidual markets and this must be take n Into account
when selecting the correct engine oil.
The use of engine oils compliant with the
VW
504 00 und VW 507 00 specific ations requires
a fuel quality compliant with EN 228 (petrol) and
EN 590 (diesel). Engine oils compliant with
VW
504 00 und VW 507 00 are therefore unsult·
able for use in a large number of markets.
