General notes The engine comes with a special, multi-grade
oil that can be used all year round.
Because the use of high-quality oil is essen-

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 be done
by a technical service or specialised work-

If the engine oil level is too low
You can get information about the correct en-

change the oil once with a maximum of 0.5 L
of the next oil until the next oil change:
