Question for one of the Skoda Tech's on board.

How much oil goes into the Fabia vRS? Mine is about to be put through it's 10k service at work and I need to know how much oil to buy. Am guessing between 5-6 litres going by Toyota's Derv lumps.

Cheers guys.

:cheers:

I thought it was 4.5 litres... I bought five litres in readiness for my 40K self-service. If it's any more I'm gonna have to buy some more. :(

Four litres for a oil and filter change should do it.

does this also apply to the octavia?? cause i just filled 2.75 liters of oil after the sensor lamp raised a warning of to little oil.. i think i need to check the oil more often..

Cheers Ross. A 5 litre bottle will be just fine then. :cheers:

It's 4.5 litres (with filter change) for 1.9 diesels.

Jason feels less thick now for thinking 4.5 litres was correct...

to Denis too, for confirming.

i only use 4lts on oil and filter change :confused:

As do I mate, four litres brings it up to the top of the cross hatched area on the dip stick.

4.5 litres is the official figure shown in the vehicle's technical data. The 1/2 litre discrepancy is presumably because it is not practicable to drain the engine dry of oil during an oil change. I will wait with interest to see how much oil my 4X4 needs on its first service on Friday. (It also takes 4.5 litres).

A 1.8T usually does take 4.5 litres of oil.

Oh dear...

It's a warning lamp, not a reminder to check the oil...

I'd be a bit more careful in future if i were you, you've probably been lucky.

Indeed Denis..

I'd be a nervous wreck if i let the oil get that low..

well i took it in cause i thought that was to much, since i topped it up in january. and it turns out the sump has cracked :(.
