Checking and refilling levels
The correct oil specifications for your engine
are listed in the

.
Service intervals
Service intervals can be flexible (LongLife
service) or fixed (dependent on time/distance
travelled).
Flexible service intervals (LongLife service
intervals*)
Special oils and processes have been devel-
oped which, depending on the characteris-
tics and individual driving profiles, enable the
extension of the oil change service (LongLife
service intervals).
Because this oil is essential for extending the
service intervals, it
must only
be used ob-
serving the following indications:
●
Avoid mixing it with oil for fixed service inter-
vals.
●
Only in exceptional circumstances, if the
engine oil level is too low
and LongLife oil is
not available, it is permitted to top up (once)
with oil for
fixed service intervals
›››
(up to a maximum of 0.5 li-
tres).
Fixed service intervals*
If your vehicle does not have the “LongLife
service interval” or it has been disabled (by
request), you may use oils for
fixed service
intervals
, which also appear in
›››
page 49, Engine oil specifications
this case, your vehicle must be serviced after
a fixed interval of 1 year/15,000 km (10,000
miles)(whatever comes first)
Vehicles with diesel particulate filter*
Only VW 507 00 engine oil, with reduced ash
formation, may be used in diesel engines
equipped with particulate filter. Using other
types of oil will cause a higher soot concen-
tration and reduce the life of the DPF. There-
fore:
●
Avoid mixing this oil with other engine oils.
●
