The service interval display in the instrument cluster of your vehicle will inform you when it is time for an oil change. We recommend having the oil changed by a qualified workshop.
If you have to top up the oil between oil changes, use the grades of oil specified in the table in accordance with VW standards. You will need to know whether the vehicle is being serviced based on the flexible oil change service or the fixed oil change service (see last service record in Service Schedule).

Note
If the oil grades specified in the table are not available, you can use oil complying with the ACEA A3 or API SN / API SM standard. To prevent damage to the engine, this should not be done more than once between oil changes and no more than 0.5 litres should be used.
Note
- For China: Only oil complying with VW standard 502 00 with viscosity SAE 5W-40 may be used on vehicles with a petrol engine.
- The flexible oil change service is not available in all countries.
