Does any one know the oil capacity of the GTi?

Post by steeve »

I've looked through the handbook, nowhere can I find the engines oil capacity with or without filter change. Does any one know?

Also I am unable to find what is required in the annual services. Makes it a bit difficult to understand what you get for your money.

Thanks...
You'd think it would be in the handbook.

Deffinitly more than that. It is 5,7 liters for pre and post WLTP GTI's. (with filter change, not sure why would anyone do it without)

I took this screenshot straight from document downloaded from erwin (Jan 2019)

Definitely 5.7L, too much to get away with a 5L can - my service breakdown was charged at 6 x 1L units.

Mine service breakdown was also charged at 6 x 1L and I did 3 changes myself and it always was around 5,6-5,7L.
