Service fluids and consumables
All service fluids and consumables, e.g. tyres, coolant and vehicle batteries, are being constantly
developed. The same applies to toothed belts, engine oils and spark plugs for combustion engines,
for example. For this reason, service fluids and consumables should be replaced at a qualified
workshop. Volkswagen dealerships always have the latest information about any changes.

WARNING
Unsuitable service fluids and consumables, and the incorrect use of these fluids and consumables,
can cause accidents, serious injuries, burns or poisoning.

Engine oil
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
Engine oil standards
Changing engine oil
Engine oil consumption
Checking the engine oil level and refilling the engine oil
Troubleshooting
The engine oils are not only tailored to the requirements of engines and exhaust gas treatment
systems, but also to fuel quality. Due to the way in which a combustion engine works, engine oil
always comes into contact with combustion residues and fuel, which has corresponding effects on
the ageing process of the oil. The correct engine oil is important for the function and service life of
the engine. A special multigrade high-lubricity oil has been filled at the factory and this can normally
be used as an all-season oil.

latest information about any changes. Volkswagen therefore recommends having engine oil changes
done by a Volkswagen dealership.
Information for warning and indicator lamps lit up can be found in the troubleshooting at the end of

allow the engine to cool down.

Leaking or spilt engine oil can pollute the environment. Spilt service fluids must be collected and
then disposed of properly and in an environmentally responsible way.
Engine oil standards
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
If possible, use only Volkswagen-approved engine oil
flexible oil change service, use only approved flexible service engine oil that complies with the
corresponding VW standard.
Since the quality of fuels can vary greatly between individual markets, this must be taken into
account when selecting the correct engine oil.
The use of engine oils compliant with the VW 504 00, VW 507 00 and VW 508 00 specifications
requires a fuel quality compliant with EN 228 (petrol) and EN 590 (diesel), or fuel of an equivalent
quality. Engine oils compliant with VW 504 00, VW 507 00 and VW 508 00 are therefore unsuitable
for use in a large number of markets.
If the engine has been filled with engine oil in accordance with the standards W 502 00, VW 504 00
and VW 507 00, a sticker with the relevant information will be located on the lock carrier in the
engine compartment. Observe this information!

You can check whether your vehicle is equipped for the Flexible Service QI6 (Longlife) or Fixed
Service QI1, QI2, QI3, QI4, QI7 (dependent on time or mileage) in the vehicle data Technical data
or on the inside cover of this owner's manual.

1) Check with a qualified workshop if you are unsure whether your vehicle is equipped with a
particulate filter. Volkswagen recommends using a Volkswagen dealership for this purpose.
2) Using VW 504 00 instead of VW 508 00 may cause the vehicle's emissions values to increase
slightly.
Changing engine oil
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings

cable to
your vehicle Service
The engine oil and filter change should be carried out by a qualified workshop due to the special
tools and knowledge required, this also applies to the disposal of used oil. Volkswagen recommends
using a Volkswagen dealership for this purpose.
More details on the service intervals can be found in the chapter on service Service
Additives in the engine oil can cause new engine oil to discolour quickly. This is normal and does not
mean that the engine oil should be changed more frequently.

WARNING
If, in exceptional cases, you have to carry out an oil change yourself, please observe the following:


al when removing the oil drain plug with your fingers to help prevent oil
from running down your arm.
engine filling quantity.
l in empty food containers, bottles or any other non-original containers as
people finding these containers may not know that they contain engine oil.


Before changing the engine oil, first find out where old oil can be disposed of properly near you.

Used oil must be disposed of in accordance with regulations governing the protection of the
environment. Never dispose of used oil in locations such as gardens, woods, sewerage systems, on
streets and roads, or in rivers and waterways.
Engine oil consumption
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
Engine oil consumption can vary from engine to engine and can change during the service life of an
engine.
The vehicle may consume up to 1.0 litre of engine oil per 2,000 km, depending on your driving style
and the conditions in which the car is used. In new vehicles, consumption may be higher for the first
5,000 km. The engine oil level must therefore be checked at regular intervals, preferably each time
the vehicle is refuelled and before long journeys.
