Natural gas engines
Things to note: if the vehicle is parked for an extended period directly after refuelling, it may well
occur that the pointer for the natural gas engine does not indicate the fuel level shown directly after
refuelling. This does not mean that there is a leak in the system but but rather that, for technical
reasons the pressure has been decreased in the natural gas tank.
The small arrow next to the petrol pump symbol ⇒ Fig. 115 in the display instrument shows
you the side of the vehicle on which the tank flap is located.

If possible, only use Volkswagen-approved engine oil ⇒. The engine oils listed are multigrade
high-lubricity oils.
Engine oils are constantly being developed and improved. A Volkswagen dealership is always kept
up to date on innovations. Volkswagen therefore recommends having engine oil changes done by a
Volkswagen dealership.
The quality of the engine oil is 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 a knock-on
effect on the ageing process of the oil.
The quality of fuels can vary greatly between individual markets and this must be taken into account
when selecting the correct engine oil.
The use of engine oils compliant with the VW 504 00 requires a fuel quality compliant with EN 228
(petrolyfRUIXHORIDQGHTXLYDOHQWTXDOLW\ Engine oils compliant with VW 504 00 are therefore
unsuitable for use in a large number of markets.
