Specifications and engine oil capacity
The engine has been factory-filled with a high-grade oil that can be use through-
out the year - except in extreme climate zones.
The engine oils are undergoing continuous further development. Thus the infor-
mation stated in this Owner's Manual is only correct at the time of publication.
ŠKODA Partners are informed about the latest changes by ŠKODA. We therefore
recommend that the oil change is completed by a ŠKODA Partner.
The specifications (VW standards) stated in the following can be indicated sepa-rately or together with other specifications on the bottle.
The oil capacities include oil filter change. Check the oil level when filling; do notover fill. The oil level must be between the markings » page 172.
