¹ The use of unleaded petrol with an octane rating of 91 is permitted, but this will reduce engine power.
² It is possible to use unleaded petrol with an octane rating of 95, but this will reduce engine power; the use of petrol with an octane rating of 91 is permitted only in extreme cases, and in this case, engine operation under heavy load should be avoided.
³ Do not add additives or gasoline to fuel; at low temperatures use winter diesel fuel; rME Biodiesel Usage (according to DIN E 51 606 specification) only permitted on suitably adapted diesel models.
4For diesel models with a particulate filter, only oil complying with VW Specification 507 00 is permitted.
5 Additive G12+ can be mixed with additives G11 and G12.
6 When using oils for variable maintenance intervals, in extreme cases, a one-time addition of VW 502 00 oil in a volume of no more than 0.5 l is permitted.
7 When using oils for variable maintenance intervals, in extreme cases, a one-time addition of VW 505 00 or VW 505 01 oil in a volume of no more than 0.5 l is permitted.
