2. Check the engine oil level before starting the engine, but not earlier than 5 minutes after turning off the engine. Fill the engine with only the engine oil specified by the manufacturer.
3. After stopping the engine, wait 5 minutes to allow the oil to drain into the oil pan.
4. The dipstick handle (A) for measuring the oil level is painted in a bright color. Remove the dipstick for measuring the engine oil level. If the oil is at level (a), oil must be added. It is quite acceptable for the oil level after topping up to be in the area of mark (b) - oil can be added. It may happen that the oil level after topping up will be in the area of mark (c) - oil should not be added.
5.Using a clean rag, wipe off any remaining oil from the dipstick. Insert the dipstick into the engine and remove it again.
6.Determine the engine oil level, which should be between the MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick. The amount of oil between the MIN and MAX marks is 1 liter.
7.Remove the oil filler cap and pour the required amount of oil into the engine.
(The information is presented on the website: vwmanual)
Under particularly difficult engine operating conditions, such as long-term driving on the highway in summer, towing a trailer or driving slowly in the mountains, the oil level should be kept within the (c) mark if possible, but not higher (see the figure in point 4).
