Advice
●Stop the engine and wait a few minutes for
the oil to drain back into the sump. When the
engine has cooled down, immediately check
the oil level and top up if necessary.
●Open the bonnet ››› page 271.
●The engine oil filler neck can be recognised
by the symbol on the cap ››› Fig. 241 and
the dipstick by its coloured handle.
Checking the engine oil level
●Pull out the dipstick and wipe it on a clean
cloth.
●Replace the dipstick, pushing it in as far as
it will go. If the dipstick has a mark, when you
reintroduce it this mark should slot into the
corresponding groove located on the upper
end of the tube.
●Remove the oil dipstick again and check
the engine oil level.
●After reading the oil level, replace the dip-
stick in the tube completely.
Adding oil after checking the level
Only add engine oil in small quantities and in
steps:
●Unscrew the cap from engine oil filler neck
on the cylinder head ››› Fig. 241. If you are
not sure where the cap is, request help from
a specialist.
●Only refill using engine oil expressly ap-
proved by SEAT and in small quantities (not
more than 0.5 l or 1/2 a quarter of a gallon at
a time) ››› page 275.
●To avoid adding too much oil, each time
you add a quantity, wait until the oil has flow-
ed into the crankcase so that it can be meas-
ured with the dipstick.
●Check the oil level before adding any more
oil. Do not top up with too much engine oil
››› .
●When the oil level is at least in the
››› Fig. 240 B zone, insert the dipstick into
the tube fully to avoid engine oil escaping
when the engine is running.
●After topping up the oil, ensure that the
cap is screwed on to the filler neck correctly.
WARNING
Oil could catch fire if it comes into contact
with hot engine components. This could lead
to a fire, explosion and severe injuries.
●Always ensure that after topping of oil, the
engine oil filler cap is correctly tightened.
This will avoid engine oil spilling onto hot en-
gine parts when the engine is running.
CAUTION
●If the engine oil level is above the area
››› Fig. 240 A do not start the engine. Seek
specialist assistance. Otherwise catalytic
converter and engine damage may occur.
●When refilling or changing service liquids,
ensure that you put the liquids into the right
tank. Making a mistake when refilling could
cause serious malfunctions and damage the
engine!
For the sake of the environment
The oil level must never be above area
››› Fig. 240 A. Otherwise oil can be drawn in
through the crankcase breather and escape
into the atmosphere via the exhaust system.
Engine oil consumption
The consumption of engine oil can be differ-
ent from one engine to another and can vary
during the useful life of the engine.
Depending on driving style and the condi-
tions of use, the consumption of engine oil
can reach 1 litre every 2,000 km (one quarter
of a gallon every 1,200 miles); for new vehi-
cles, this could be higher for the first
5,000 km (3,000 miles). For this reason the
engine oil level must be checked at regular
intervals, preferably when filling the tank and
before a journey.
