Practical tips
SEAT recommends changing the oil at a spe-
cialised w
orkshop. SEAT recommends an
Official SEAT Service.
SEAT recommends the use of engine oils ap-
proved according to the appropriate VW
standard. Use of engine oils that do not meet
these quality requirements can cause engine
damage.
SEAT recommends the use of Original SEAT
Spare Part engine oils.
Engine oil additives
No type of additive should be mixed with the
engine oil. The deterioration caused by these
additives is not covered by the warranty.
CAUTION
Take the following into account if you have
r
efilled with an engine oil different to those
specified in the aforementioned standards,
or by your SEAT technical service centre:
●
There is no way of completely avoiding
the danger of causing damage to the en-
gine and particulate filter.
●
You can continue driving with the vehicle
if the refill was no more than 0.5 l of engine
oil. Go to a specialised workshop as soon
as possible and request an oil change. Oth-
erwise, there is a danger of engine dam-
age.
●
If you have topped up more than 0.5 l of
engine oil, drive with the engine at low load
levels and within the medium RPM range as
a maximum. Do not driv
e at more than 80
km/h and do not travel more than 300 km
(approximately). Go to a specialised work-
shop as soon as possible and request an oil
change. Otherwise, there is a danger of en-
gine damage.
●
You are responsible for the risk of possi-
ble damage to the vehicle (engine, exhaust
system). If in doubt, do not start the engine
and request assistance from the technical
service centre.
●
Do not start the engine if you have top-
ped up with a fluid other than engine oil.
Request assistance from the technical
service centre. Danger of engine damage!
Note
Before a long trip, we recommend finding
an engine oil that conf
orms to the corre-
sponding VW specifications and recom-
mend keeping it in the vehicle. This way, the
correct engine oil will always be available
for a top-up if needed.
