With the engine at operating temperature, park the vehicle on a level surface to ensure that the
engine oil reading is correct.

Switch off the engine and wait a few minutes for the engine oil to flow back into the sump.

Open the bonnet In the engine compartment.

Identify the engine oil filler cap and oil dipstick. The engine oil filler opening can be recognised by
the symbol on the cap and the oil dipstick has a coloured handle. If you cannot find the cap and
dipstick, please contact a qualified workshop.

Pull the dipstick out of the guide tube and wipe it off with a clean cloth.

Insert the oil dipstick into the guide tube again as far as it will go. If there is a marking on the upper
end of the oil dipstick, this marking must fit into the corresponding groove at the top end of the

After reading off the oil level, push the oil dipstick back into the guide tube as far as it will go.

Unscrew the cap of the engine oil filler opening .

Using only the engine oil approved by Volkswagen expressly for this engine, fill oil gradually in small
amounts (no more than 0.5 l).

engine oil to flow into the sump up to the marking on the engine oil dipstick.

Read the engine oil level from the dipstick again before refilling with a further small quantity of
engine oil. Never overfill engine oil .

After refilling, the engine oil level should be in the middle of area Ⓒ. It should not be above Ⓒ, in
area Ⓑ, and must not be in area Ⓐ .

If too much engine oil has been added unintentionally and the engine oil level is in area Ⓐ, do not
start the engine. Inform a qualified workshop and seek expert assistance if necessary.

Close the engine oil filler opening with the cap after filling.
