What sought of oil recommended for engine 1.0 tsi automatic fabia 2022. Service due not going to main dealer. Thanks.

I use Millers EE Performance in my wife's 2015 Mk3 engine (and gearbox) and used their products in my car, British blender too but I buy on quality and performance.

Whether you're doing a tickbox bare minimum VWŠkoda "service" and/or "maintenance schedule" type of work or better the engine is one of the less considerations in importance of using the car behind brakes, steering, suspension (all three include tyres), safety electrics (lights, horn, wipers, blower, etc.), reflective number plates -all see and be seen.

Good luck.

The VW recommended oil is 0w 20 FS IV. That is VW508 00 / 509 00.

Not VW504 00 / 507 00, 0w 30 FS III or 5w 30 FS III

Under your car's bonnet will be a label indicating the recommended engine oil specification. The position of the label is marked  3  in the drawing below.

and - for my 2024 Fabia 1.0litre TSI motor with DCT - the information on that label is (as Ootohere has said)

VW 508 00

VW 509 00

SAE 0W-20

The Skoda dealership's invoice for my 2024 Fabia's oil+filter service last March charges for 4 litres of engine oil at £13.14 per litre (VAT inc.) - that's £52.56 overall.

The oil used is described as "0W-20 LONGLIFE 1V". No manufacturer's name is given, but as a Part No (OIL3) is stated, it's reasonable to assume it was the 'genuine' VW oil shown in this advert.

https://cmgoilsdirect.co.uk/product/genuine-vw-longlife-engine-oil-0w-20-5l-fully-synthetic-iv-fe-vw508-00-509-00/#:~:text=00/509%2000-,Genuine%20Vw%20Longlife%20Engine%20Oil%200W%2D20%205L%20Fully%20Synthetic,Fe%20Vw508%2000/509%2000

These four other 0W-20 oils are also said to meet the VW 508 00/VW 508 00 specification (I've checked the manufacturer's websites!!)

• Castrol EDGE 0W-20 LL IV

• Motul Specific 508 00 509 00 0W-20

• Liqui Moly Top Tec 6200 0W-20

• Millers Oils XF Premium Engine Oil C5 V 0w20

If you shop wisely on-line, a 5-litres container should be around £42-50 (VAT and delivery included). Just make 100% sure that what you order and what you get is correct.

The Millers Oils website has a link to this VOLKSWAGEN OEM APPROVAL LETTER confirming that the XF Premium Engine Oil C5 V 0w20 oil meets the VW 508 00/VW 509 00 VW standard.

https://www.millersoils.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/VW-508-00-509-00-0w20-OEM-Approval-Millers-Oils-XF-Premium-C-V-0w20-8049.pdf

and there's a TECHNICAL DATA SHEET here

https://www.millersoils.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/8049-XF-Premium-C5-V-0w20.pdf

This doesn't automatically make the Millers Oils product superior (or inferior) to the other oils I mentioned in my last posting and it may be less widely available off-the-shelf than the Castrol Edge equivalent.

(A Millers Oils product with a slightly different name Millers Oils XF Premium C5/C6 0w-20 (note the "C5/C6" instead of "C5 V") is advertised on-line, often more cheaply priced. This oil does NOT have the VW 508 00/VW 509 00 approval.)

Edited 3 August, 20253 Aug by DerekU

If you want a 0w-20 then there's also Millers EE Performance C5 V 0w20 Engine Oil (VW 508 00 / 509 00).

"RECOMMENDED FOR: ACEA C5, Porsche C20, VW 508 00 / 509 00, Volkswagen Audi Group including Bentley, Cupra, Seat and Skoda, Asian manufacturers" I didn't see a letter from the VW doctors but I expect their approval costs far too much to put on every product (wonder if they were around when VW was fitting its diesel cheating software).

Product technical data sheet -https://cdn.opieoils.co.uk/pdfs/millersoils/8596-EE-Performance-C5-V-0w20-TDS.pdf

I stand to be corrected, but If you are uncomfortable with the 0w-20 508/509 oil spec, my understanding is that this new grade was introduced purely to achieve slightly lower emissions - and it is permissible to use the previous VW504/507 oil standard if wished.

This is an extract from my 2024 Fabia Mk4's Owner's Manual

It will be seen that (as Ootohere advised earlier) oil to VW 504 00 standard is only acceptable for interim topping-up (maximum quantity 0.5 litres) when the prescribed specification of oil (VW 580 00/VW 590 00 for my Fabia Mk 4) is unavailable.

This link lists some 0W-20 oils said to meet the VW 508 00/VW 509 00 specification standard.

https://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-3555-vw-50800-50900-engine-oil.aspx?srsltid=AfmBOor11DCdQQ-hpdKlkGNe2YGCnedc9Qbcb59K3XFkysU0WWRv47uW

Each product has a downloadable Technical sheet and, provided that this confirms that the oil meets the VW 508 00/VW 509 00 standard, it should be suitable for fabia1960's Fabia Mk4 car.

The Owner's Manual for a 2015 Fabia Mk 3 includes the following oil-related guidance.

Unlike my Fabia Mk4 car, my 2009 Skoda Roomster does not have an oil-label in the engine compartment, with oil information being provided in its Owner's Manual. As the Manual for a Fabia Mk 3 does not mention an engine compartment oil-label, I assume there isn't one.

The Mk3 Fabia Owners manual from 2014/15 was 2-3 years before the 1.0 TSI & 1.0 TSI with GPF were launched and VW / Skoda went to 0w 20 FS IV at te factory pre WLTP / RDE 2 certification.

So what would be Skoda's recommendation for the viscosity of an oil suitable for a Fabia Mk3 built in 2015?

You could not predict the future. So it was as they came from Euro 5 into Euro 6. / 6d temp.

1.2 TSI,s. Or 1.4 TDI.s

They were saying VW504 00 / 507 00, so 5w 30 FS III.

Fixed or Variable Servicing.

But Fixed Servicing only was and is VW502 00, 5w 40 FS. But just for TSI,s. If you wanted.

But they never showed that.

The "Genuine" brand sold by TPS is Quantum.
