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.
