Engine oil standards
Ask a qualified workshop which engine oil is suitable for your vehicle. Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles recommends
using a Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles dealership for this purpose.
Another engine oil can be used in an emergency if the engine oil recommended by the qualified workshop is not
available. To avoid damaging the engine, a maximum quantity of 0.5 litres of the following engine oil may be used
until the next oil change:
—Petrol engines without particulate filter: Standards VW 502 00 and ACEA A3/B4 or API SN(API SM)
—Petrol engines with particulate filter: Standards VW 504 00, VW 508 00 and ACEA C3 or API CJ-4
—Diesel engines without particulate filter: Standards VW 505 01 and ACEA A3/B4 or API CJ-4.
—Diesel engines with particulate filter: Standards VW 507 00, VW 509 00 and ACEA C3 or API CJ-4
Check with a qualified workshop if you are unsure whether your vehicle is equipped with a particulate filter.
