Seat Leon >> Changing engine oil
The engine oil must be changed at the intervals given in the service schedule.
We recommend that you have the engine oil changed by an Authorised Service Centre.
The two different oil change intervals are shown in the Booklet “Service schedule”.
WARNING
Only change the oil yourself if you have the specialist knowledge
required!
• Before opening the bonnet, read and observe the warnings
“Safety instructions on working in the engine compartment”.
• Wait for the engine to cool down. Hot oil may cause burn injuries.
• Wear eye protection to avoid injuries caused by splashes of oil.
• When removing the oil drain plug with your fingers, keep your arm horizontal
to help prevent oil from running down your arm.
• Wash your skin thoroughly if it comes into contact with engine oil.
• Engine oil is poisonous! Used oil must be stored in a safe place out of
the reach of children until it is disposed of.
Caution
No additives should be used with engine oil. This could result in engine
damage. Any damage caused by the use of such additives would not be
covered by the factory warranty.
For the sake of the environment
• Because of the disposal problems, the necessary special tools and
specialist knowledge required, we recommend that you have the engine oil
and filter changed by an Authorised Service Centre.
• Never pour oil down drains or into the ground.
• Use a suitable container when draining the used oil. It has to be large
enough to hold all the engine oil
