Engine oil

Introduction
The engine oils are determined based on the requirements of the engines, emissions control systems, and fuel quality. On all combustion engines, the engine oil comes into contact with combustion residue and fuel, which affects the ageing of the engine oil. Using the correct engine oil is essential for the function and service life of the engine. The vehicle is filled at the factory with a special multi-purpose, low-viscosity oil that can generally be used year-round.
The vehicle can consume engine oil. The engine oil consumption can vary and can change throughout the service life of the vehicle. Depending on the driving style and the usage conditions, the engine oil consumption can be up to 1 l (1 qt) per 2000 kilometres (1200 miles); it can also be higher within the first 5000 kilometres (3100 miles) on new vehicles. Because of this, the engine oil level must be checked regularly and it is best to check the level before long drives.

WARNING
Engine oil gets extremely hot when the engine is running. Failure to take care when handling hot engine oil can cause serious bodily burns. This could result in serious or fatal injuries.

• Always allow the engine to cool down before starting work with the engine oil.

WARNING
Engine oil is poisonous. Contact with engine oil, especially swallowing engine oil, may result in serious or fatal injuries.

• If you swallow engine oil, seek urgent medical help.
• If you have health problems after working with engine oil, seek medical help.
• Always store engine oil in the sealed original container and keep it out of the reach of children. This also applies to used oil until it is disposed of.
• Never use empty food cans, bottles, or other containers to store engine oil, because someone could drink the engine oil by mistake.
• Avoid regular contact with engine oil to prevent damage to your skin.
• Protect your skin, face and particularly your eyes when working with engine oil.
• Do not eat, drink or smoke when working with engine oil.
• Wash your skin with soap and water after working with engine oil.

Engine oil that has dripped and spilt can pollute the environment. Catch any leaking operating fluids and dispose of them correctly according to environmental regulations.

WARNING
In extremely low temperatures, the coolant can freeze and the vehicle could break down. This can cause the heating to stop working in the vehicle. Vehicle occupants could die of exposure if they do not have sufficient warm clothing.

• Make sure the coolant additive is always adjusted according to the ambient temperature.
• Only use coolant additives approved by the manufacturer.

Coolant and coolant additives can pollute the environment. Catch any leaking operating fluids and dispose of them correctly according to environmental regulations.

Engine coolant specifications

Please read the introductory information and heed the Warnings and Notice ⇒ Safety precautions for working in the engine compartment.
The cooling system is filled at the factory with a mixture of specially prepared water and at least 40% coolant additive G12evo (TL 744-L).
The proportion of coolant additives must always be at least 40% to protect the engine cooling system. If greater freeze protection is needed due to the climate, the proportion of coolant additives can be increased. However, the proportion of coolant additives must not exceed 55%, because otherwise the freeze protection will be reduced and the cooling effect will be decreased.
The engine coolant additive can be recognized by its violet colour. The mixture of water and coolant additive provides freeze protection down to approx. -25 °C (approx. -13 °F), protects the light-alloy parts in the cooling system against corrosion, prevents calcium deposits and significantly increases the boiling point of the coolant.
If the engine coolant is being topped up, a blend of distilled water and at least 40% of the G12evo engine coolant additive must be used to ensure optimum corrosion protection ⇒.

NOTICE
The colouring of the engine coolant results from the mixture of the purple coolant additive and distilled water. If the fluid in the coolant expansion tank is not purple, but for example brown, the engine coolant has been mixed with another non-suitable coolant. This may result in serious malfunctions or damage to the drive and cooling system.

• Only use coolant additives approved by the manufacturer.
• If the coolant turns brown, have it changed immediately by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility. Volkswagen recommends contacting an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
• Never mix original Volkswagen coolant additives with coolant additives that are not approved by Volkswagen when topping up.
