Hi guys just a question for a newbie to the Skoda Octavia MK3 1.5 TSI petrol my question goes the car is brand new and was built at the beginning of this year I took ownership in August should I do a oil change at 1000 miles  when the car has officially been run in using the correct oil but do not tell the dealership I'm just worried about all that metal and it's running around the engine due to running in the vehicle for its first 1000 miles and then have the oil   changed again officially by The Dealership on its first service next year in August I only do 3500 miles a year or am I just being stupid you guys would have more knowledge than me being my vehicle previously for the last thirty Years War Vauxhalls plus the dealership service guy confuses me one minute he's told me it takes 0w 20  then tells me it takes 5W 30 what does the vehicle officially come filled up from the factory thanks the booklet is very confusing where it comes to oil specification the vehicle is is a 20 plate but it is a mark 3 1.5 petrol

Oils have moved on since 1960. My wife's Karoq has the same 1.5TSi petrol engine and was registered new in Jan 2018 and had it's first oil change in October 2019 at 18,700 miles and is currently on 27,300 miles and the inspection oil service is due sometime next year either at around 37,000 miles or October 2021 whichever arrives first. Really nothing to worry about with modern fully synthetic oil.

Just curious thanks for the help would you know  what oil they used was it 0 or 20 or 5 30  at its first service

I use this on both our Skoda’s.

Thanks mate problem solved
