Diesel 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.
For
topping up and changing, the follow-
ing mineral or synthetic oils are to be
used:
Good quality oils, specification API-
CD
(only for topping up on the Turbo
Diesel
engines in an emergency) or
Multigrade oils, specification VW50101
(not for Turbo Diesel engines) or
Multigrade oils, specification VW
50500
or
Improved libricity oils, specification VW
50000
(not for Turbo Diesel engines) 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.
The
advantages of improved lubricity and
high performance engine oils for petrol
engines
mentioned on the previous page
also
apply when these oils are used in
Diesel
engines.
