Engine oil Gener al not
es The engine comes with a special, multi-grade
oil that can be used all year round.
Because the use of high-qualit

tial f
or the correct operation of the engine
and its long useful life, when topping up or
changing oil, use only those oils that comply
with VW standards.
We recommend that the oil change indicated
in the Maintenance Programme, be per-
formed by a technical service or specialised
workshop.
If the engine oil level is too low
You can get information about the correct en-
gine oil for your vehicle at your specialised

ble, in the event of an emergency you can
add oil once up to a maximum of 0.5 L of the
next oil until the next oil change:
