Engine Oil Level, Checking
NOT APPLICABLE TO e-GOLF
Please observe the following:
-- After turning off the engine, wait at least three minutes for the oil to flow back into the oil pan.
-- Pull out the oil dipstick and wipe it with clean cloth. Insert the dipstick and push it all the way down.
-- Pull out the dipstick again and read the oil level.
Version 1
The oil level must be at least in the upper third of the measuring field -B- during the pre-delivery inspection. So that the highest customer satisfaction can be reached.
The amount of oil used during an engine oil change from the service table is determined by trial, and is sufficient for the engine operation in all operating conditions. For all services the oil level must be adjusted if necessary if the customer requests it. This makes an additional filling possible to the specified oil change amount to the maximum limit on the dipstick. Due to tolerances and also to oil temperature and flow back time, different fill capacities are possible.
A - Do not add oil.
B - The oil can be filled to the maximum limit -A-.
C - Add oil. The oil level must be at least in the upper half of the measuring range -B-.
-- Drain or extract some of the oil if the oil level goes above the maximum limit -A- to prevent damage to the catalytic converter.
-- If the oil level is under the minimum mark -C- fill the oil, minimum of 0.5 liters. Refer to MAINTENANCE TABLES for the oil specification.
Version 2
The oil level must always be in the -A - range at the delivery inspection. So that the highest customer satisfaction can be reached.
The amount of oil used during an engine oil change from the service table is determined by trial, and is sufficient for the engine operation in all operating conditions. For all services the oil level must be adjusted if necessary if the customer requests it. This makes an additional filling possible to the specified oil change amount to the maximum limit on the dipstick. Due to tolerances and also to oil temperature and flow back time, different fill capacities are possible.
A - Do not add oil.
B - Engine oil can be filled up to the -A- range.
C - Add oil. The oil level must be at least in the upper third of the measuring range -B-.
-- Drain or extract some of the oil if the oil level goes above the mark -A- to prevent damage to the catalytic converter.
-- Fill the oil until it reaches the -A- marking if the oil level goes below the -C- marking. Oil specification. Refer to MAINTENANCE TABLES .
