Inspection
Observe and follow the information on the motor oil specification according to the VW standard (→ Engine oil).
Features of the flexible service
With the flexible service, you only need to have an oil change service carried out if your vehicle requires one.
Individual operating conditions and personal driving style are taken into account in order to determine this point in
time. An important feature of the flexible service is the use of LongLife engine oil instead of conventional oil.
Observe and follow the information on the motor oil specification according to the VW standard (→ Engine oil).
If you do not wish to have the flexible service, you can opt for the fixed service instead. However, a fixed service can
affect your service costs. Your service advisor will be pleased to advise you.
Service interval display
Service dates for Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles are shown in the service interval display in the instrument cluster

fluid and spark plugs.
