Turbo-engines: 

- After engine oil and oil filter have been replaced, observe 
following when first starting engine: 

 

As long as oil pressure warning light in instrument panel 
insert flashes, engine is only to run at idle. Do not touch 
accelerator pedal! Bumping accelerator pedal can damage 
turbocharger or destroy it completely.

 

Only when warning light turns off, is full oil pressure 
achieved, and engine can be accelerated.

Capacities with filter change:

Oil characteristics

 

 

Multi-weight oil conforming to VW standard 501 01 has 
following characteristics:

All-season use in moderate climate zones.  
 
Excellent cleansing properties.  
 
Secure lubrication properties at all engine temperatures 
and load conditions.  
 
High resistance to aging.  
 

 

Multi-weight light duty oil conforming to VW standard 
500 00 furthermore include following characteristics:

All-season use in almost every possible outside 
temperature.  
 
Decreases friction loss in engine.  
 
Best possible cold start properties. even at veru low 
temperatures.  
 

 

Multi-weight light duty oil conforming to VW standard 
502 00:

 

This oil is suitable for gasoline engines, conforms to VW 
standard 501 00. 505 00. as well as 500 00. furthermore, 
includes following characteristics: It is particularly suitable 
for use in extreme operating conditions, e.g. difficult road 
conditions, predominant use of trailer. abundance of uphill 
driving, and driving in hot climate zones.

Note: 

Single-grade oils are generally not used all year round 
because of their limited viscosity range. Therefore, these 
oils should only be used in extreme climate zones.   
 
When using multi-weight oil SAE 5W-30, continuous high 
engine speeds and constant strong load must be avoided. 
This restriction does not apply to multi-weight light duty oils.

- After topping off with oil wait at least 3 minutes then check 
oil level. 

- Pull out oil dipstick and wipe with clean rag. Replace 
dipstick and push down to stop. 

Note: 

Observe waste disposal regulations!  
 

- Pull out dipstick and read oil level. 

Area a 
-

Oil must be topped off. It is sufficient when oil level is within area 

- b - after topping 

off. 

Area b 
-

Oil does not have to be topped off.

Area c - Oil must not be topped off.

Note: 

If oil level is above area - c - , catalytic converter can be 
damaged.
