Engine oil specification
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warnings
The engine oil used must correspond exactly to specifications.
The correct engine oil is important for the function and service life of the engine. A special high quality multigrade oil has been filled at the factory and this can normally be used as an all-season oil.
If possible, use only Volkswagen-approved engine oil . To maintain the LongLife Service, only approved LongLife engine oil in accordance with the corresponding VW standard may be refilled (). The engine oils listed are multigrade high-lubricity oils.
Engine oils are constantly being developed and improved. A Volkswagen dealer is always kept up to date on innovations. Volkswagen therefore recommends having engine oil changes done by a Volkswagen dealer.
