What makes the original Skoda engine oil so convincing?

Skoda engine oils are developed with the latest technology and meet the constantly growing international standards. As a result, the engine oils convince with the following properties:

Reliable performance: Skoda engine oil is made with high quality components that make it the best choice to ensure reliable performance. It is able to constantly lubricate the engine at high temperatures and minimize friction losses, which has a positive effect on fuel consumption and engine life.
Protection against wear: Skoda engine oil protects the engine from wear by efficiently lubricating and keeping external contaminants out. The use of this oil ensures uniform lubrication of the engine, reducing the risk of engine damage.
Improved fuel efficiency: Skoda engine oil not only improves the performance of the engine, but also its fuel efficiency by reducing friction losses compared to conventional engine oils. This allows you to reduce your fuel costs and spend more time being on the road!
Environmental protection: Skoda engine oil is made of natural ingredients and does not contain toxic chemicals or other substances that are harmful to humans or the environment. Since it is biodegradable, it has no negative impact on our environment.

Skoda engine oils thus offer many advantages over other engine oils. They ensure optimum performance while reducing fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.

What are the Skoda oil approvals?

In addition to international standards, genuine Skoda engine oils also undergo manufacturer-specific tests to ensure that they more than meet requirements. After successful completion, they then receive specific manufacturer approval. This is issued across the group by the parent company Volkswagen for all of them. The currently valid Skoda oil approvals are therefore: VW 504 00, VW 507 00, VW 508 00 and VW 509 00. These differ as follows:

VW 504 00: This refers to Longlife III engine oils, which are for gasoline engines with and without Longlife service. They can also be used for older vehicles.

VW 507 00: This refers to Longlife III engine oils, which are for diesel engines with and without Longlife service. They can also be used for older vehicles.

VW 508 00: These are Longlife IV engine oils specially designed for the latest vehicles with gasoline engines. These engine oils must not be used in older vehicles.

VW 509 00: These are Longlife IV engine oils specially designed for the latest vehicles with diesel engines. These engine oils must not be used in older vehicles.

All vehicles benefit from the above-mentioned properties of the original Skoda engine oils. In addition, the Skoda Longlife engine oils of Generation III and IV are also designed for longer service intervals. This means that for vehicles for which a Longlife service is planned, the oil change is calculated dynamically according to driving style and stress. This means that the oil change may only be due between 30,000 - 50,000 km. The modern Skoda engine oils are designed for this long service life and work efficiently until the change is due.

What to consider when you want to buy Skoda engine oil?

Buying the right original Skoda engine oil is not that difficult. Needed are the 3 following information:

Skoda oil approval
Quantity of oil required
SAE grade

The SAE class indicates the temperature range in which the engine oil is flowable. The SAE class could be 0W30, for example. This indicates that the engine oil is free-flowing in the temperature range from -35°C to +30°C and lubricates the engine reliably. This information can be found in the service manual as well as on the oil slip attached to the filler neck during the last oil change. The information on the engine oil quantity as well as the required Skoda oil approval are also noted in the service booklet.

With the 3 information it is easy to buy the right Skoda engine oil. It will be even easier if you first select your vehicle in the store. This reduces the product overview to only suitable items for your car, which then differ in quantity. Usually not only the Skoda engine oil is changed during an oil change, but at least the oil filter is changed at the same time. Sometimes also the screw plug is exchanged. For this reason, our experienced product managers have already put together oil change kits individually for each vehicle. In addition to the required amount of Skoda engine oil, these sets also contain the matching oil filter and the screw plug. With one click, you have all the necessary parts for the oil change together.
