# Service bulletin Service Xpress \-

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

## NHTSA's summary

For Engine 2.0L Turbo: DDSA, DDSB: Changed oil specs to: "VW 508 00, VW 504 00\* or VW 502 00\* Use synthetic oil SAE 0W\-20\*" Added footnote: "\*If you must add oil and no oil is available that meets the Volkswagen oil quality standard required for your engine, you can add a maximum 0.5 liters \(0.5 qt.\) of engine oil that meets the ACEA A3/B4 and API SN specification, and has a viscosity grade of SAE 0W\-20. Using oil with a different viscosity grade than the SAE 0W\-20 can cause the vehicle emissions and fuel consumption to increase. Only use different oils in cases of emergency."
