The engine comes with a special, multi-grade
oil that can be used all year r
ound.
Because the use of high-quality oil is essen-
tial for the correct operation of the engine
and its long useful life, when topping up or
changing oil, use only those oils that comply
with VW standards.
For vehicles with an engine oil label
If the engine oil has to be topped up, use one
of the oils shown on the label
›››
Fig. 288. The
label with the prescribed standard is located
at the front of the engine compartment

. If you use the recommended
engine oil, you can t
op up the oil as often as
necessary.
For vehicles without an engine oil label
Contact a specialised workshop or SEAT offi-
cial service for information about the corre-
sponding standard.
If the engine oil level is too low
If the recommended engine oil is not availa-
ble, in the event of an emergency you can
change the oil once with a maximum of 0.5 L
of the next oil until the next oil change:
Petrol and CNG engines: VW 504 00,
