LUBRICANTS
Petrol engines
A special very high quality oil is put in the
engine at the factory and this can be used
all the year round - except in very cold cli-
mates.
As a high quality engine oil is a prerequi-
site for trouble free operation and long
engine service life only a correspondingly
high quality oil may be used for topping
up and at oil changes.
As it has been established that the wide
range of oils on sale differ considerably in
quality, we strongly recommend that only
the following mineral and synthetic oils,
which have been tested by us, are used:
• Multigrade oils, specification VW 50101
or
• Improved lubricity oils, specification
VW 50000 or
• High performance engine oils, specifi-
cation VW 50000 and 50500.
The specifications must be marked on the
container. When topping-up the oils can
be mixed with one another.
Multigrade oils to VW Standard 50101 are
reasonably priced oils with the following
properties:
- All year round use in temperate climate
areas.
- Excellent cleaning ability.
- Efficient lubrication at all engine temper-
atures and load conditions.
- High resistance to ageing.
The improved lubricity and high perform-
ance engine oils have in addition the fol-
lowing advantages:
- All year round use at practically all tem-
peratures.
- Low frictional losses in engine.
- Best possible starting even at very low
temperatures.
Only if at some time the approved oils are
not available can a good quality oil with
the specification API-SF (multigrade or
single grade) be used as a temporary ex-
ception.
VA.G Dealers have all the details. The
oil change should therefore preferably
be done by a V.A.G Dealer.

A - High performance and improved lu-
bricity oils, B - Multigrade oils, C - Single
grade oils.
The viscosity class of the oil must be se-
lected as shown in the Fig. The oil does
not have to be changed when the ambient
temperature is briefly above the range
shown.
When using SAE 10 W single grade oil or
SAE 5 W-20 or SAE 5 W-30 multi-grade
oils, continuous high engine speeds and
engine loading should be avoided.
This restriction does not apply when us-
ing high performance or improved lubri-
city oils.
