2015 VOLKSWAGEN CC oil change

Select the Settings menu.
In the Service submenu, select the Info menu item.
OR: If the Vehicle status main menu is active, use the arrow but-
tons to navigate to the service reminder display.
A minus sign in front of the number of miles (kilometers) or days
means that service is overdue.
Resetting the oil change service reminder
If the service was not performed by an authorized Volkswagen dealer
or an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility, the oil change service
reminder can be reset as follows:

1. Switch off the ignition.
2. Press and hold the /./

Adjust the tire pressure
The proper tire pressure helps reduce rolling resistance as well as
fuel consumption.
When purchasing new tires, always make sure that the tires are opti-
mized for lower rolling resistance.
Use low viscosity engine oil
Fully “synthetic,” low viscosity engine oils that expressly comply with
Volkswagen oil quality standards reduce fuel consumption. Low vis-
cosity engine oils reduce the frictional resistance on the engine and
are distributed more evenly and quickly, particularly when cold-
starting the engine. The effect is particularly apparent in vehicles that
frequently travel short distances.
Always ensure the right engine oil level is maintained and keep to the
scheduled service intervals (engine oil changes).
Make sure the engine oil that you purchase expressly complies with
Volkswagen oil quality standards and is the oil approved by
Volkswagen for your vehicle.
Avoid unnecessary weight
The lighter the vehicle, the more economical and eco-friendly it will
be. For example, an extra 220 lbs (100 kg) of weight increases fuel
consumption by up to 1 pint per 60 miles (0.3 l/100 km).
Remove all unnecessary items and unnecessary dead weight from
the vehicle.
Remove unnecessary aftermarket components
The more aerodynamic the vehicle, the less fuel it will consume. Af-
termarket components such as bicycle racks reduce its aerodynamic
performance.
Therefore, remove unnecessary structures and unused rack systems,
particularly if planning to drive at higher speeds.

Your engine was factory-filled with a high-quality, “synthetic” all-
season engine oil that meets strict Volkswagen oil quality standards
and has a viscosity grade of SAE 5W-40 or SAE 5W-30. You can use
this oil for normal driving in all temperatures.
If you need to add oil between oil changes, use only a high quality oil
that expressly complies with the Volkswagen oil quality standard
specified for your vehicle's engine:

Engines Engine oil specification
200 hp (147 kW), 2.0L
VW 502 00
VW 503 00
VW 504 00
280 hp (206 kW), 3.6L
VW 501 01
VW 502 00
VW 503 00

At the time this Manual was printed, the engine oils available in the
U.S. that meet these Volkswagen standards are “synthetic” oils. This
does not mean, however, that any “synthetic” engine oil will meet
Volkswagen standards. Always use an approved oil that expressly
complies with the Volkswagen oil quality standard that applies to your
vehicle's engine.
General recommendations:
If “synthetic” oil that meets the applicable Volkswagen oil quality
standard with viscosity grade SAE 5W-40 or SAE 5W-30 is not avail-
able in your area, be sure to use a viscosity grade suitable for the
climate, season, and operating conditions that exist where the vehicle
is used. Make sure the oil meets the quality standard.
Engine oils are constantly being improved. Authorized Volkswagen
dealers and authorized Volkswagen Service Facilities are always up-
to-date regarding new developments and changes. Volkswagen
therefore recommends that you have the engine oil changed by an
authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service
Facility.

WARNING
If you must change the engine oil yourself, be sure to take the
following precautions:
Always wear eye protection.
To reduce the risk of burns from hot engine oil, let the engine
cool down completely before beginning.
When removing the oil drain plug with your fingers, stay as
far away as possible. Always keep your forearm parallel to the
ground to help prevent hot oil from running down your arm.
Drain the oil into a container designed for this purpose, one
large enough to hold at least the total amount of oil in your en-
gine.
To reduce the risk of poisoning, never drain the oil into emp-
ty food or beverage containers that might mislead someone in-
to drinking from them.
Engine oil is poisonous and must be stored out of the reach
of children.
Continuous contact with used engine oil is harmful to your
skin. Always protect your skin by washing thoroughly with
soap and water.
Before changing the oil, first make sure you know where you can
properly dispose of the old oil.
Dispose of the old oil an environmentally-responsible manner.
Never dump the old oil on garden soil, in wooded areas, in the street,
into streams, rivers, or bodies of water, or down sewage drains.
Recycle used oil by taking it to a collection facility for used engine
oil in your area, or contact an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an
authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
Volkswagen recommends that you always have your oil and oil
filter changed by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized
Volkswagen Service Facility. They have the required expertise and
special tools and will dispose of the old oil properly.
