Engine oil specifications
¤ Please first read and note the introductory information and
heed the WARNINGS
The engine oil used must conform to exact specifications.
Using the proper engine oil is important for the functionality and ser-
vice life of the engine. Your engine was factory-filled with a high-
quality multi-grade oil which can usually be used throughout the entire
year.
Engine oils are constantly being improved. Authorized Volkswagen
dealers and authorized Volkswagen Service Facilities are always up-
to-date regarding new developments and changes. Volkswagen
therefore recommends that you have the engine oil changed by an
authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service
Facility.
Engine oil quality is based not only on requirements for engines and
exhaust treatment systems, but also on fuel quality. Engine oil comes
into contact with fuel and fuel residue in all internal combustion en-
gines, causing engine oil to age and its lubricating qualities to deterio-
rate.
