The engine oil used must conform to exact specifications.
Using the proper engine oil is important for the functionality and service 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
engines, causing engine oil to age and its lubricating qualities to deteriorate.
Your engine was factory-filled with an all-season engine oil that meets strict Volkswagen oil quality
standards and has a viscosity grade of SAE0W-30. You can use this oil for normal driving in all
temperatures.
Always use an approved oil that expressly complies with the Volkswagen oil quality standard that ap‐
plies to your vehicle's engine.

Gasoline engines VW50200
At the time this Manual was printed, the engine oils available in the U.S. that meet these Volkswagen
standards are “synthetic” oils. This does not mean, however, that any “synthetic” engine oil will meet
Volkswagen standards. Always use an approved oil that expressly complies with the Volkswagen oil
quality standard that applies to your vehicle's engine.
If VW 502 00 is not available, you may also use an engine oil that meets the specification VW 504 00.
