NOTE
If you need to add oil and there is none available that meets the Volkswagen oil quality standard
your engine requires, you may add a total of no more than 1/2quart (0.5liter) of an engine oil
that meets ACEAA3/B4 or API SN (API SM) specifications and has a viscosity grade of SAE 0W-
30.
OR: if there is no oil available that has a viscosity grade of SAE0W-30, you may add a total of
no more than 1/2quart (0.5liter) of an engine oil that meets the oil quality standard VW50200
or VW50400 and has a viscosity grade of SAE5W-40 or SAE5W-30.
Using oil with a viscosity grade other than SAE0W-30 may cause vehicle emissions and
fuel consumption to increase slightly. Only use other oils in case of emergency!

fied for your vehicle's engine. Using any other oil can cause serious engine damage that will
not be covered by any Volkswagen Limited Warranty.
