Lubricants - Oil for engine, gearbox and power steering

Engine
You can use single grade or multigrade oil for both petrol and diesel engines, but multigrade is recommended. The container must be marked according to the API System with "SE" or "SF" for petrol engines or with "CC" or "CD" for diesel engines. The best choice is to use VW standard 500 00, with SAE 10W-30 or SAE 10W-40 for hotter regions.  
Gearbox
  • Manual
     The standard is SAE 80 or SAE 80W-90 with API "GL4" or Mil L 2105
  • Automatic
    SAE 90 with API "GL5" or Mil L 2105 B

Power steering
