Filling volumes Volkswagen Polo Sedan. How much oil is in a Volkswagen Polo Sedan engine. Normal oil consumption in a Volkswagen Polo engine

This VW Polo Sedan maintenance schedule is relevant for all Polo Sedan vehicles manufactured since 2010 and having a 1.6 liter gasoline engine with a manual or automatic transmission.

The replacement interval is 15,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first. If the car experiences, then the engine oil and oil filter are changed twice as often - at an interval of 7,500 km or 6 months. These conditions include: frequent trips from low and short distances, driving an overloaded car or transporting a trailer, driving in dusty areas. In the latter case, it is also necessary to change the air filter more often.

The official manual states that it is necessary to pass exclusively at the service station, which will cost additional financial costs, of course. In order to be able to save time and some money, you can do routine maintenance yourself, since it is by no means difficult, as this guide will confirm.

The cost of maintenance of a VW Polo Sedan with your own hands will depend only on the price of spare parts and consumables (the average price is indicated for the Moscow region and will be updated periodically).

It is worth noting that the Polo Sedan the oil in the gearbox is filled from the factory for the entire period of operation and cannot be replaced, only topped up in a special hole. The official maintenance regulations state that the amount of oil in the manual transmission should be checked every 30 thousand km, in the automatic transmission - every 60 thousand km.

The cooling system uses purple liquid "G12 PLUS", which complies with the standard "TL VW 774 F". Coolant "G12 PLUS" can be mixed with liquids "G12" and "G11". For replacement, it is recommended to use antifreeze "G12 PLUS", catalog number of the container is 1.5 liters. - G 012 A8F M1 is a concentrate to be diluted 1:1 with water. The filling volume is about 6 liters, the average price is 590 rubles.

Changing the oil in the gearbox VW Polo Sedan is not provided for by the official regulations of those. service. It says that the oil is used for the entire life of the gearbox and during maintenance only its level is controlled, and if necessary, only oil is topped up.

The procedure for checking the oil in the gearbox is different for automatic and mechanics. For automatic transmissions, the check is carried out every 60,000 km, and for manual transmissions, every 30,000 km.

Filling volumes of gearbox oil Polo Sedan:

• in a manual gearbox 2 liters of gear oil SAE 75W-85 (API GL-4), it is recommended to use gear oil 75W90 LIQUI MOLY 1 liter. (synthetics) Hochleistungs-Getriebeoil GL-4 / GL-5 (article - 3979), the average price per 1 liter is 950 rubles.

Maintenance cost of Polo Sedan in 2017

After carefully analyzing each stage of maintenance, a cyclic pattern emerges, which is repeated every four inspections. The first, which is also basic, includes everything related to engine lubricants (engine oil, oil filter, plug bolt), as well as a cabin filter. In the second inspection, the replacement of the air filter and brake fluid is added to the first maintenance procedures. Third tech. inspection is a repetition of the first. The fourth - it is also the most expensive, includes all the elements of the first, second, and in addition - the replacement of spark plugs and a fuel filter. Then repeat the cycle of TO 1, TO 2, TO 3, TO 4. Summing up the costs of consumables for routine maintenance of the VW Polo Sedan, the following figures are obtained:

*The average cost is indicated as of autumn 2017 prices for Moscow and the region.

This table implies the following conclusion - in addition to the usual expenses for routine maintenance, you should be prepared for additional costs for replacing the coolant, oil in the box or alternator belt (and other attachments). Replacing the timing chain is the most expensive, but rarely required. If she ran less than 120,000 km, you should not worry too much.

If we add here the prices for service stations, then the price increases markedly. As you can see, if you do everything yourself, you save money at the cost of one maintenance.

Polo Sedan is a new Volkswagen model, which was created for the conditions of the Russian Federation. A model based on the Polo hatchback has been developed and is equipped with a common platform, which is fully adapted to Russian conditions and structurally differs from the European version in the wheelbase, suspension and body, galvanized in places subject to corrosion. The production of the car began in 2010 in the Kaluga region at the Volkswagen plant.

The model until 2015 had a 1.6-liter atmospheric gasoline engine with a capacity of 105 horsepower, with a five-speed manual gearbox or a six-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. Modification with engine 85l.s. issued in 2014, it is subject to tax benefits. In the same year, a restyled model was proposed in a different configuration and with a modified exterior. At the end of 2015, 1.6l E211 engines with 90-110hp began to be installed on the car. with Euro 5 engine oil. The automaker advises the use of oils of specifications 504.00 and others.

How to choose the right oil?

There is a wide range of motor oils on the market, but not everyone is suitable for a particular car. To find out which fluid is ideal for the Polo sedan 1.6 model, you should read the service book where the manufacturer is indicated. But it is not necessary to choose only the recommended brand. You can take an analogue with a similar viscosity. When choosing, preference should be given to high-quality oils, since questionable fluids can harm the engine and lead to breakdown.
Volkswagen also produces its own engine lubricants, which are guaranteed to be suitable for brand cars. One of them is motor oil 501.01. In a number there are other types of 5w30 viscosity oils.

If you do not know the brand used in your car, you can purchase a branded one or an analogue of the same viscosity. When buying Volkswagen engine oil, you should be careful, since original products rarely appear on the domestic market. Much more often they offer fake. The original is produced exclusively at the factory in Germany. The most popular analogues are produced by Shell and Mobil1. Engine oils from these manufacturers are not inferior to Volkswagen and are great for the Polo sedan 1.6.

In accordance with the developer's data, replacement should be done after 15,000 km, but when operating in Russian conditions, it is better to do this after 10,000 km.

The manufacturer recommends this frequency if the model is operated in difficult conditions. These include standing in traffic jams, frequent trips over short distances, long downtime, dusty areas, high or low critical temperatures, low-quality gasoline. The listed conditions are quite consistent with domestic conditions, which leads to the need to change engine oil every 7000 km.

Types of engine oil

Automotive oils are used in three types:

1. Mineral, which have a high viscosity and are used in older models of units
2. Synthetic with low viscosity, which retain their characteristics longer, are not afraid of non-standard temperatures
3. The next type is semi-synthetic, consisting of synthetics and mineral components. These are cheaper than synthetic and more reliable than mineral ones.

The choice must be treated with caution, as there are many fakes on the market. The use of low-quality oils leads to negative consequences for the power unit. Frequent changes in the type of oils cause problems in the operation of the car. Therefore, the developers recommend using the brand that was originally poured into the power unit. The container must be marked by the manufacturer. Fakes come from Romania and China, and they are also made in Russia.

How to use the selected engine oil?

A four-liter canister will be required for the new power unit of the sedan.

Having decided on the brand, you need to figure out how many liters should be poured into the engine compartment. The German developer recommends 3.6 liters. A similar amount of oil on the dipstick will indicate the middle position of the pointer. Liquid for Volkswagen is sold in containers from 1-5 liters.

A motor with high mileage consumes much more lubricant, so it is better to use a five-liter container to add a certain amount of oil periodically.

The frequency of replacement in the Polo sedan 1.6 depends on the operating conditions of the model and driving style. In service stations, filling engine oil will cost inexpensively - about 500 rubles. The purchase of consumables will cost significantly more: a special oil filter, lubricating fluid, flushing, etc.

The reliability and durability of the Volkswagen Polo power plant directly depends on the quality of the oil being poured and compliance with the timing of its replacement. Therefore, the car owner must take a responsible approach to the choice of motor lubricant and follow all the manufacturer's recommendations.

The most popular original oil has VW 502 00 or VW 504 00 approvals. Its cost is more than 3,000 rubles. The manufacturer also allows the use of the less common VW 501 01 and VW 503 00. 504 00 oil has the largest amount of high-tech additives that maximize the replacement period, so it is better.

Original oil Volkswagen Polo

A 502 00 approved grease designed for heavy duty applications where reduced drain intervals are required. The use of oil 502 00 is justified only by the economic side, so experienced car owners do not advise filling it.

As the engine wears, the viscosity must be increased. Otherwise, the car owner will face a constant leak of oil seals and sweating of the engine. The use of too thick oils in the motor is unjustified. They do not provide sufficient lubrication of rubbing surfaces, reduce engine efficiency, and can cause scoring.

Volkswagen's proprietary system for classifying and sequencing motor oils is not very common among lubricant manufacturers. Therefore, it is quite difficult to find it on the labels on the canister. In the international classification, the indicated tolerances correspond to liquids with ACEA, A2 or A3 indices.

The table below shows the article numbers and the approximate cost of good analogues of the original oil for the Volkswagen Polo.

Refueling volumes and replacement intervals

The nominal filling volume of oil for a Volkswagen Polo is shown in the table below.

Dealers recommend changing the engine oil in a Volkswagen Polo car every 15 thousand kilometers. According to the reviews of car owners, the interval should be reduced to 7 - 8 thousand kilometers.

Normal oil consumption in a Volkswagen Polo engine

According to the manufacturer's statements, the entire line of power plants has the same oil consumption rate. The engine can eat up to 1 liter per thousand kilometers. This tolerance is quite large. During the operation of the car, the actual consumption is much less. An increase in oil consumption to 1 liter per thousand kilometers is possible only in case of excessive engine wear or a malfunction of its components.

According to the reviews of car owners, the oil consumption rate is 150 -200 grams. If the engine eats more than 250 grams per thousand kilometers, then attention must be paid to the condition of the piston rings, gaskets and seals.

Most often, increased consumption occurs due to coked oil scraper and compression rings. This trouble appears with a run of more than 100 thousand km. The increased pressure of crankcase gases can cause engine sweating even at 55-75 thousand on the odometer. In this case, oil consumption increases over time. It is not uncommon for a motor to consume more than a liter per thousand kilometers.

Required Tools

In order to replace the engine oil in the engine on a Volkswagen Polo sedan car, the car owner will need a set of tools and materials that are shown in the table below.

• Oil filter. The original product has the article number 03C115561H.

Volkswagen Polo Sedan is one of the most popular cars on the Russian market, along with Hyundai Solaris. The car, introduced in 2017, is still in demand - largely due to good driving characteristics, high-quality components and high reliability. In addition, in the case of the VW Polo, some repairs can be done independently - for example, pour new oil into the engine. Naturally, before that, you need to choose the oil, and in order not to make a mistake in choosing, you should proceed from the parameters indicated in the user manual. So, in this article, we will consider how to choose the right oil, and how much to fill it in, depending on the displacement of the Volkswagen Polo Sedan engine.

Regulations

For a competent choice of oil, it is necessary to act in stages, and observe all important parameters, including performance indicators. For example, you need to know when to replace a consumable. To do this, the manufacturer has developed a replacement procedure, which for the VW Polo Sedan is about 20 thousand kilometers. This is a conditional indicator that can be changed at the insistence of the dealership, or at the initiative of the owner himself (with self-service). In the latter case, changing the oil is much more difficult, but it is a very informative and economical procedure that does not take much time. It will have to be carried out as often as possible if the machine is operated in unstable climatic zones and is subjected to high loads. After all, under the influence of negative factors, the oil must be changed in advance so that it does not have time to lose its properties. Due to difficult conditions, the regulation can be reduced to 10 thousand kilometers. In addition, rapid oil wear is affected by high speed, light off-road driving, including dusty roads, constant temperature changes, sudden maneuvering, and even traffic violations. In such cases, you must be prepared for an earlier oil change than provided for by the regulations. But for this it is important to know several factors.

How to check the condition of the oil

To make sure that the oil has become unusable, you need to pay attention to the color, smell and composition of the oil. For example, with a long run, the liquid may change color from transparent to dark brown. As for the smell, the oil can smell burnt and this is one of the signs of mechanical wear. The second, more serious sign is the presence of metal chips in the oil, as well as mud deposits. In such cases, it is urgent to change the oil. This is the only way to prevent premature wear of engine components, and thereby avoid overhaul of the internal combustion engine.

When to check the condition of the oil

Many check the condition of the oil according to the regulations. In fact, it is better to do it earlier, without waiting for the regulations. Oil problems are indicated by the following signs:

• Insufficient engine power
• Increased fuel consumption
• Increased oil consumption
• Possible delays and jerks when shifting gears
• Excessive noise and vibration

If these deviations are found, it will not be superfluous to check the condition of the oil.

Oil parameters

Naturally, for Volkswagen Polo it is better to choose oil from a well-known manufacturer. Brands with a dubious reputation should be ignored immediately. In order not to get confused in the choice, one must proceed from the recommended parameters developed by the Volkswagen concern itself. For example, first of all, one must proceed from the viscosity characteristics of SAE 5W-40 and 5W-30, as well as international standards ACEA A2 and ACEA A3. In addition, attention should be paid to compliance with the markings 501 01, 502 00 and 503 00.

The specified parameters have the original oil, as well as its analogues. To date, the production of analogues has been established in Germany, Russia, Romania, Moldova, China and other countries. The quality of these oils has recently caught up with the more expensive original oils. Based on this, the choice in favor of an analogue oil is obvious. Although many still prefer the original product.

Among the best manufacturers of motor oils for the Volkswagen Polo are the brands Castrol, Mobil, Lukoil, Elf, Kixx and other well-known companies with a good reputation. Also, owners often prefer Shell Helix Ultra engine oil.

Volume

The total amount of engine oil for the Volkswagen Polo does not depend on the displacement, and averages 3.6 liters.

Types of motor oils

At the end of the article, we will consider what motor oils are. There are only three of them.

• Synthetic is the best motor oil today. It has good flow characteristics, and also has excellent non-stick and antioxidant properties, is not afraid of frost and sudden changes in temperature. Recommended for modern cars with low mileage. The main disadvantage of oil is the high cost due to the listed advantages.
• Mineral - the cheapest motor oil, often used as a technical fluid for flushing the engine from the remnants of old oil, metal chips and other deposits. It should not be poured into the Volkswagen Polo engine, especially with low mileage. In addition, "mineral water" is prohibited to use at low temperatures. The fact is that this is a thicker oil, prone to solidification.
• Semi-synthetic is a worthy option to replace mineral oil. It has the best value for its price. Moderately resists low temperatures, and has a longer duration than the mineral composition. And yet, semi-synthetics are not able to completely replace pure synthetics, and it should be poured only in extreme cases.
• We can conclude that in the first place for Volkswagen is any synthetic oil - either original or well-known analogue. It is better to use semi-synthetics for high mileage, and it is not recommended to fill in mineral oil.

Volkswagen 1.6 liter engine currently installed on vw Jetta and Polo Sedan models. Consider the features and characteristics of this engine.

The letter index of the CFNA engine with a displacement of 1.6 liters has been used by Volkswagen relatively recently. This engine is atmospheric four-cylinder injection 16-valve. The engine has an optimal torque of 153 Nm for the small and medium-sized class, and a maximum power of 105 hp sufficient for comfortable acceleration of a small car like a Jetta or Polo sedan.

For Volkswagen Jetta and Volkswagen Polo sedan 1.6 liters is just the volume that allows these cars to be considered comfortable and convenient both on long country trips and in heavy city traffic. This unit can easily provide the operation of an air conditioner or climate control.
At peak loads, during accelerations and overtaking on the highway, the Volkswagen electronics turn off the air conditioning system for the duration of the overtaking, doing it imperceptibly and competently.
The engine is quite economical, able to consume about 6 liters on the highway, and in the urban cycle from 7 to 10 liters, depending on the driving style. These characteristics are observed only if 95 gasoline is used. The use of 92 gasoline is highly undesirable and will lead to higher consumption and worse dynamics.
Maximum engine power 1.6 achieved at 5250 rpm, reaches a maximum torque of 153 Nm at 3800 rpm.
From experience, comfortable acceleration with good dynamics is already possible at 3000 rpm, but you should remember about the electronic gas pedal and make a margin of 1-2 seconds for the electronics to work.
Let's get back to the 1.6 Volkswagen engine itself. It is made from aluminum alloy. The engine cylinders are vertical. The timing chain drive is not a belt drive, and this is a big plus when choosing an engine.
Good results and well-coordinated operation of the engine can be achieved by high-quality and uniform running-in up to 1500 km, as well as the use of gasoline of at least 95 and timely maintenance.
For this engine, Volkswagen recommends the use of engine oils Castrol VW 502 00 and VW 501 00, VW 503 00, VW 504 00, viscosity 5W-40 or 5W-30 can be used. The factory fills with 5W-30. The volume of oil poured into the engine is 3.6 liters.
Antifreeze is poured into the Volkswagen 1.6 engine G12 or G12++ in units up to 2013, and since 2013 G13, which is also suitable for topping up and mixes perfectly with G12 or G12++.
