Common questions

What oil does a Cupra take?

It depends on the engine. Across the 21 Cupra engines we hold, the approvals named are VW 505 01, VW 507 00, VW 506 01, VW 504 00, VW 502 00, Porsche C30 (VW 504 00 / VW 507 00) and others, mostly in 0W-30, 5W-30. Find your engine above, or enter your registration for the exact match.

How much oil does a Cupra take?

Between 2.75 and 5.7 litres for an oil and filter change, depending on the engine — each engine's figure is listed above with its source. Fill to the dipstick's maximum mark rather than emptying a whole can in.

Where is the oil specification in a Cupra handbook?

Usually in the "Technical data", "Capacities and specifications" or "Engine oil" section near the back, which names the approval code and viscosity, and the oil-change capacity with filter. The figures above link to the handbooks we found them in.

Oil specification and capacity by make
