What is the oil specification for the Volkswagen Lavida?
1 Answers
Volkswagen Lavida uses fully synthetic 5W40 engine oil with a capacity of 5 liters, and the replacement interval is 10,000 kilometers. Below is extended information about engine oil: Precautions for oil change: Before changing the oil, the engine should be turned off for half an hour to allow excess oil to flow back from the cylinder walls to the oil pan, ensuring complete drainage. Different types of oil should not be mixed. If switching from premium to regular oil, the original oil must be completely drained and the lubrication system thoroughly cleaned before adding new oil. Oil selection method: Engine oil should be selected according to the engine's requirements. If the engine is in good condition and the seasonal temperature is low, lower viscosity oil should be used to ensure smooth oil flow. During high-temperature seasons or when the engine is severely worn, higher viscosity oil is preferable as it helps form a protective oil film and reduces engine wear.
