Skoda's original engine oil is ordinary D4 engine oil. The functions of engine oil: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption for the engine. It is often referred to as the 'blood' of a car. The composition of engine oil: Engine oil consists of base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of lubricant, determining its fundamental properties, while additives compensate for and improve any deficiencies in the base oil's performance, adding new characteristics.

I've always driven Škoda cars, and during maintenance, the original factory oil is mostly Castrol products, such as Castrol Edge Professional. This brand has been collaborating with the Volkswagen Group for many years, specifically meeting Škoda's specifications like the VW 502.00 standard. Using it long-term makes the engine run smoother, reduces wear, and keeps fuel consumption stable. It's not just about the brand; the key is that the oil must meet the standards to avoid using counterfeit products, otherwise, engine repairs can be troublesome and expensive. The maintenance manual for new car owners will list the recommended brands. Sticking to the original factory oil makes maintenance easier, as the technicians at the 4S shop provide direct matching services, making it hassle-free. In short, choosing the right oil greatly helps the car's lifespan.
