Oil Capacities up to MY 2000
From my 2001, see Fluid Capacity Chart in owner's manual.
Oil capacity
- With oil filter: 3.8 liters (4.0 qt.)
Oil specifications
- The following terms must appear on the oil container singly or in combination with other designations
- VW 502 00 or VW500 00 or VW501 01
- ACEA A2 or ACEA A3
- API-SJ or API-SL
- Engine oils are graded according to their viscosity. The proper grade to be used in your engine depends on existing climatic or seasonal conditions.
- The engine oil which was first put into your engine has a viscosity grade of SAE 5W-40. You can use this oil over all temperature ranges for normal driving. If engine oil viscosity grade SAE 5W-40 is not available, you can also use SAE 5W-30.
