SKODA ROOMSTER 2012 1.G Owner's Manual

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.
Various oils can be mixed together when refilling. However, this does not apply to
vehicles with flexible service intervals.
Engine oils are, of course, undergoing continuous further development. Thus the
information stated in this Owner's Manual is only correct at the time of publica-
tion.
ŠKODA Service Partners are informed about the latest changes by
ŠKODA. We
therefore recommend that the oil change is completed by a ŠKODA Service Part-
ner.
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 not
over fill. The oil level must be between the markings » page 139.

can be used once for refilling. CAUTION
Only the above-mentioned oils can be used on vehicles with flexible service inter-
vals. We recommend always refilling with oil of the same specification since this
will maintain the properties of the oil. In exceptional cases, a maximum of 0.5

l of
specification VW 502 00 (only for petrol engines) or specification VW 505 01 (only
for diesel engines) engine oil can be used to refill once. Other engine oils must
not be used - risk of engine damage! Note
■ Before a long drive we recommend that you purchase and carry with you engine
oil which complies with the specification for your vehicle. ■ We recommend that you use oils from ŠKODA Original Accessories. Ð 179
