Engine oil
Viscosity and specification
A special, high quality multigrade oil is put in
the engine at the factory and this can be

used all the year round -excep t in very cold
climates .

The specifications
shown on this page must
be marked either separately or toget her
with other specifications, on the containers.

When topping-up, the oils can be mixed
with one another .

The
viscosity class of the oil must be se­

lected in a cc ordan ce with the illu stration. If
the ambient temperature exceeds the given

range briefly, the oil does not need to be

changed.

Important note
Quite naturally engine oils are also being
continually developed. For this reason the statements in this Instruction Manual are
only in line with the current state at th e time of going to press.
Volkswagen dealers are kept up-to-d ate by
the factory regarding changes. For this rea­
son
the oil change should preferably be
done by a Volkswagen dealer.

Notes
• Single grade oils. Due to their limited
viscosity ranges these oils are not generally
acceptable for all year round use .
Therefore these oils should only be used in extreme climatic zones.
• When using SAE 5 W-30 multigrade oil,
continuous high engine speeds and engine
loading should be avoided . Thi s restriction
