engine oil Seat Exeo ST 2010 Maintenance programme

Service information
6•If LongLife engine oil is not used, th e service dependent on time/distance
travelled then applies. In this case, an oil c hange service will have to be
carried out every 15,000 km (10,000 miles) or every year.Importance of the Maintenance ProgrammeThe Maintenance Programme confirms the date of deliv ery of
your vehicle and thus the beginning of its warranty cover.The vehicle data that appears in the Maintenance Programme guarantees
that the appropriate Genuine SEAT
® Parts are installed. This data helps
ensure that your car can be repaired without difficulty even after many years
of use.
The Maintenance Programme also informs you of which service should be
carried out when, and the work this entails.
Your Official SEAT Service will note down in this booklet the services carried
out.
Your Maintenance Programme should be kept in the vehicle with the on-
board documentation so that it is at han d whenever you need it.
Please remember to give the Maintenanc e Programme to the new owner if
you sell your car.
The SEAT Service Centre network is equ ipped with modern workshop tech-
nology and well-trained specialists. Many S EAT Service Centres offer different
service packages at special prices
Safety notesAll fluids and consumables , such as timing belts, tyres, coolant liquid, en gine
oil, spark plugs and vehicle batteries are cont inuously being developed.
Therefore, we recommend you take the veh icle to a qualified workshop to
have fluids or consumables changed. The Official SE AT Services receive
regular up-to-date information about mo difications. This is why SEAT recom-
mends you have fluids and other consumables replaced by an Official SEAT
Service.
Unless the vehicle is regularly and correctly s erviced as required in the
service plan, the vehicle could breakdown wh ile driving, leading to serious
accident and injury.•S e r v i c e s s h o u l d b e c a r r i e d o u t b y a q u a l i f i e d w o r k s h o p i n a c c o r d a n ce w i t h
the Maintenance Programme.•Please observe the instructions for use.Note
•Only use suitable fluids. Fluids should nev er be mixed up. This could
result in serious faults and engine dama ge.•SEAT is not responsible for damage to the v ehicle as a result of the use of
poor quality fuel, inadequate servicing o r non-availability of original spare
parts.•Spilt brake fluid may pollute the environme nt. If fluids leak or are spilt,
they should be collected and disposed of a ccordingly.•Regular servicing of your vehicle not only helps to ensure it remains in
good working order but also contributes to road safety. Therefore, we recom-
mend work is carried out in accordance with the Maintenance Programme.

SEAT maintenance programme7
SEAT maintenance programmeGeneral informationTo ensure that you have each service carrie d out on time and that none are
forgotten, there is a reminder sticker on the dr iver side door pillar and a
reminder will also be shown via the serv ice interval display on the instrument
panel.
The service intervals quoted are for vehicles used under normal operating
conditions .
However, if the vehicle is used in adverse conditions, it may require work
before the next established service interval or ev en between service inter-
vals.
Adverse conditions include:•the use of fuel with a high sulphur content•frequent short journeys•leaving the engine idling for long periods o f time (as occurs with taxis)•driving on dusty roads or in dusty areas•frequently using the vehicle for towing•mainly driving in the city, in heavy traffic whe re it is necessary to continu-
ously brake and start, and•using the vehicle mainly in the winter
This particularly affects:•the air filter•the timing belt•the engine oil and•the diesel particulate filter In some countries diesel fuel has a high sulp
hur content; in these cases the
oil and the fuel filter should be changed every 7,5 00 km (5,000 miles). Your
Official SEAT Service will be able to tell y ou which countries have diesel with
a high sulphur content.
The service advisor at your Official SEA T Service will advise you on the need
to carry out additional work on your vehicle, t aking into account the usage
conditions of the vehicle.
A list of the work to be carried out at th e SEAT services is given on the
following pages. These services are valid at the time of printing and can be
subject to further modifications for technical reaso ns. Your Official SEAT
Service always has the latest available information and will be able to tell
you if your vehicle requires any other additio nal inspections established by
law.
The cost of the SEAT service may vary, depen ding on the vehicle type, equip-
ment fitted, additional work and statutory inspec tions. Your Official SEAT
Service will tell you how much the SEAT se rvice will cost (labour and parts).

8Whereas conventional service intervals are calculated according to the
number of kilometres travelled, the LongLife Service employs a technology
which considers your personal driving style and the conditions of use appli-
cable to your vehicle. For example, frequent sh ort journeys involve different
conditions of use to long journeys. The m aintenance intervals are flexible.
Remember that, in spite of the above, the LongLife Service should be carried
out at most every 24 months, as engine oi l ages irrespective of the vehicle
conditions of use.
Details of the service work and additional work required can be found on
page ⇒page 9 onwards.
Please observe inspection intervals and e nsure your vehicle is serviced as
required. Please note that failure to ob serve the inspection intervals may
lead to damage to your vehicle.Is my vehicle eligible for the LongLife Service?All the vehicles which are designed for Long Life Service leave the factory with
the correct engine oil. Depending upon the cou ntry where the vehicle is to be
used, the LongLife Service or the inspec tion service is selected. On delivery
of the vehicle, the corresponding service is ma rked on the delivery inspection
sheet.
Renewal of the LongLife Service
On completion of the relevant Service, the authorised SEAT Service Centre
resets the next service and marks the corr esponding box on the service
sheet.

travelledWhat is a Service Interval dependent on time/distance travelled?
With the Inspection Service the service intervals are fixed.Unlike the LongLife Service, the inspection service is a conventional service

interval counter on the instrument panel, a nd the service records in this docu-
ment.

conditions for the use of the LongLife S ervice are not met, or where this
service is not desired.
