The small B-class car Skoda Fabia was first shown at an exhibition in Frankfurt in 1999. The model replaced the Felicia series and became one of the most popular cars of the Czech concern, making serious competition for Chevrolet Aveo, Opel Corsa, Hyundai Accent, Renault Logan, Mazda2 and other market leaders in small cars. The first two generations of Fabia were developed on the Volkswagen A04 (PQ24) platform and were equipped with engines similar to the VW Polo model: petrol 1.2, 1.4 and 1.6 liters, as well as diesel engines with a displacement of 1.2-1.9 liters. Data on the types of oil to be filled in and its quantity are indicated in the second half of the article. In 2014, the third generation of the Fabia debuted at the Paris Motor Show, which is still in production today.
The first generation of Fabia was equipped with both weak outdated engines of 1.0 (50 hp) and 1.4 (68 hp) liters, as well as more powerful ones with 54-120 hp. The power of diesel modifications ranged from 69 to 131 hp. The model underwent its first restyling in 2005, and 2 years later, its 5J generation was presented to the public. The updated car had the same wheelbase, however, it became higher than its predecessor, which was reflected in the spaciousness of the cabin. The line of power units was transferred from the 6Y generation: diesel engines 1.4 and 1.9 liters and petrol 1.2, 1.4 and 1.6 liters. All of them were paired either with a 6-speed automatic transmission or on the mechanics. 2010 brought the car another update, during which he received a redesigned front end and new engines. Now instead of 1.4 and 1.6-liter engines engine compartment occupied by turbo engines 1.2 and 1.4. Diesel modification replaced by 1.2 and 1.6 liter TDI. On the Russian market 3 petrol variants hit: 1.2 liters (70 hp, maximum acceleration - 164 km / h, first hundred - 15 seconds), 1.4 liters (86 hp, 175 km / h, 12.7 seconds), and also 1.6 liters (105 hp, 195 km/h, 10.4 seconds).

compact car Skoda Fabia produced since 1999 and shares the platform with others VAG models Volkswagen Polo and Seat Ibiza. The first generation of the model was produced in 5-door hatchback, station wagon and sedan bodies and was equipped with both Volkswagen concern engines and Skoda's own engines inherited from previous models. The range of engines included atmospheric gasoline with a volume of 1.0 to 2.0 liters and a power of 50 - 120 hp, an atmospheric diesel 1.9 SDI (64 hp) or a turbodiesel 1.4 TDI and 1.9 TDI (69 - 101 hp) , which were paired with a 5-speed manual transmission or 4-speed automatic. There was also a sports modification Fabia vRS with a 130-horsepower 1.9-liter diesel engine and 6-speed manual transmission. In 2007, the second generation of the model was introduced, in which only the hatchback and station wagon versions remained. Initially, it was equipped with atmospheric MPI engines with a volume of 1.2, 1.4 or 1.6 liters. 60 - 105 hp and turbodiesels preserved from the previous generation, after restyling in 2010, the model also received turbocharged gasoline engines 1.2 TSI (85 or 105 hp), 1.4 TSI (vRS version, 180 hp) and diesel 1.2 TDI and 1.6TDI ( 75 - 105 hp). A 6-speed automatic and a 7-speed DSG robot also appeared in this generation. At the end of 2014, the production of the third generation of Fabia started, at the moment it has 3 versions of the engine: atmospheric gasoline with a volume of 1 liter, supercharged 1.2 TSI and turbodiesel 1.4 TDI. What kind of oil to fill in Skoda engine Fabia, depends on its type.
TOTAL QUARTZ 9000 ENERGY 0W30
TOTAL recommends as engine oil for Skoda Fabia with gasoline engines that require specification VW 502.00, synthetic technology oil TOTAL QUARTZ 9000 ENERGY 0W30. It meets the ACEA A3/B4 and VW 502.00/505.00 standards and has excellent anti-wear and cleaning properties to protect the engine in difficult operating conditions such as stop-and-go city driving or sport driving. Due to its good low-temperature fluidity, this oil guarantees reliable cold starts.
TOTAL QUARTZ 9000 5W40
TOTAL QUARTZ 9000 5W40 synthetic technology engine oil is suitable for model modifications for which the automaker prescribes the use of VW 502.00 / 505.00 oils, in particular for Skoda Fabia 1.6 MPI with a naturally aspirated engine, as well as for cars with turbocharged TSI engines. This oil maintains its effectiveness in all driving conditions and temperature conditions, preventing premature engine wear and the formation of deposits on its parts. Due to its excellent resistance to oxidation, TOTAL QUARTZ 9000 5W40 oil has stable performance throughout the entire service interval recommended by the automaker.
TOTAL QUARTZ INEO LONG LIFE 5W30
TOTAL QUARTZ INEO LONG LIFE 5W30 engine oil has been developed to meet the latest requirements of the Volkswagen VW 504.00/507.00 concern, which regulate, among other things, the resistance of the oil to oxidation at high mileage, and is recommended by TOTAL for changing oil in Skoda Fabia with TDI engines starting from the second generation (since 2007). It reliably protects engine parts from wear and harmful deposits and, in addition, optimizes the operation of exhaust purification systems, providing a low content of pollutants in it (the metal content in this oil is 50% lower than in conventional motor oils). Thanks to the Low SAPS technology with a reduced content of phosphorus, sulfur and sulphated ash, TOTAL QUARTZ INEO LONG LIFE 5W30 can be used as an oil for Skoda Fabia with diesel engines equipped with a diesel particulate filter (DPF).
Transmission oils for Skoda Fabia
TOTAL recommends using transmission fluid TOTAL FLUIDE XLD FE when changing oil in 4-speed automatic transmissions Skoda Fabia (DEXRON III-H) and TOTAL FLUIDMATIC MV LV in 6-speed automatic boxes(when DEXRON VI level is recommended). With improved frictional properties, they provide maximum power transfer to the wheels and smooth shifts and ensure reliable transmission operation for a long time.
Skoda Fabia 2 is a popular car, a very reliable and compact model, which is in high demand due to its balanced characteristics, high-quality components, as well as a developed dealer network. The second-generation hatchback of the same name appeared on the market in the second half of the 2000s, and has since received a lot of positive feedback from Russian motorists. This model quite simple and undemanding to maintain. One of the simplest, and at the same time responsible Fabia maintenance procedures is the selection and replacement of engine oil. The pattern is that the better (and not necessarily more expensive) the oil, the longer the life of the motor. Let's take a closer look at what you need to pay attention to when choosing such an important consumable.
To begin, consider motor range for Skoda Fabia 2:
- Three-cylinder gasoline 1.2-liter engine with a capacity of 44 and 51 horsepower
- Four-cylinder gasoline 1.4-liter engine with 63 and 105 horsepower
- 4-cylinder turbocharged and injected petrol engine - 1.2, with a capacity of 63, 77 and 132 liters. from.
Oil change schedule
The oil in the Skoda Fabia engine must be filled in after a certain time - depending on what service interval the engine has. It can be found in the user manual, in the section marked "Intervals after-sales service". There is also a rating plate in the instructions with the designations QGO, QG1 and QG2.
If these designations are present in the instructions (QGO or QG2), the service interval for changing the oil in the internal combustion engine will be about 15 thousand km. If the QG1 parameter is indicated in the passport book, then the engine oil should be replaced based on the indications on-board computer- he will tell you when to change the oil. But in this case, it is important to remember that the maximum mileage until the next lubricant change should not exceed 30 thousand km or 24 months.
In addition, in the user manual that came with the Skoda Fabia, there are many parameters that you need to focus on when choosing the right fluid. For example, for engines 1.2 MPI (44 hp) and 1.2 MPI (51 hp), as well as 1.4 MPI (63 hp), an oil corresponding to the markings VW 503 00 or VW 504 00 is recommended. These markings must appear on the product label. As for more modern motors 1.2 TSI (63 hp), 1.2 TSI (77 hp) and 1.2 TSI (132 hp), it is advisable to use a liquid with the designation VW 504 00 for them.
Let's also pay attention to the markings for 1.2 MPI engines with a fixed oil change interval. For them, VW 502 00 oil is recommended.
factory oil
Inexperienced and novice motorists can be advised to use the oil that is poured at the factory - this is the proven Castrol 5W30. In general, oil of any brand is suitable for Skoda Fabia 2, as long as it meets Volkswagen specifications. So, engines with a fixed mileage are filled with oil with a viscosity of OW-40, and with a flexible interval - 5W-30.
Skoda Fabia cars are widespread in Russia. This representative of the compact class is one of the best-selling models of the Czech automaker. "Fabia" is valued for its worthy technical and performance characteristics, easy to repair and allows you to engage without any problems self service. In the Skoda Fabia, oil change is considered one of the most simple procedures. The main thing here is to follow the instructions, build on official recommendations and follow safety rules to avoid unwanted injuries and burns with hot oil.
Under difficult operating conditions, change the engine oil in the Skoda Fabia more often.
Replacement frequency
Let's start with how often "Fabia" requires. The official regulation of the Czech automaker says that the period between replacements lubricating fluid Fabia has 15 thousand kilometers or 1 year of operation. But these indicators can decrease under the influence of internal and external factors:
- intensive use of the car;
- bad roads;
- pollution and dustiness of the areas where the car mainly drives;
- aggressive driving style;
- sharp temperature changes;
- frequent speeding;
- using bad engine oil and a cheap filter;
- refueling with bad fuel, etc.
All this negatively affects the condition of the engine. Gradually, the lubricant loses its original physical and chemical properties, does not sufficiently envelop the moving parts. The process of engine wear begins due to the resulting friction. Settling metal particles contaminate the filter, penetrate throughout oil system damage engine components. Overloading and overheating can seriously affect the engine, putting it out of action and provoking the need for large financial investments for repairs. To prevent this, try.
Checking the level and condition
To give an objective assessment of the current oil that is poured into the Skoda Fabia engine, you need to look under the hood, find the dipstick and remove it. The dipstick is located in the hole through which fresh motor grease is poured. It is marked "Min" and "Max". It is optimal when, when the probe is inserted, a trace of the liquid remains between the two marks. If the level is low, a little oil needs to be added. It is also impossible to oversaturate the crankcase with lubricant, otherwise you will have to drain the excess and engage in additional dismantling work under the car.
In addition to the level, pay attention to the condition of the lubricant. Not always a simple topping up helps to resume normal work the entire engine. The following criteria indicate the poor condition of the oil:
- the liquid has become cloudy or dark;
- a burning smell emanates from the oil;
- particles of debris, dirt or sediment are visible in it.
Noticing at least one of these signs, be sure.
Oil selection
Before changing engine lubricant, you should correctly select the appropriate fluid for the Skoda Fabia car. Its volume depends on the engine installed on the car:
- 1.2 liter engines require only 2.8 liters of engine oil;
- 1.4 liter engines require 3.2 liters of lubricant;
- power units with a volume of 1.6 liters, according to the instructions, provide 3.6 liters of oil;
- 4.3 liters of lubricant are poured into a 1.9-liter engine.
Even from the factory in the Skoda engine manufactured by Castrol. To be more precise, this is SLX Professional Powerflow 5W30 with VW 504 approval. But SLX oil is no longer officially supplied. Replaced by the version of Edge. At all official dealers Skoda is advised to use 5W30 lubricants for Fabia. Regarding manufacturers, it is better to choose the following:
- Castrol Edge;
- Mobil;
This is a list of what engine oil is poured into the Skoda Fabia car and its engines. It is better not to deviate from these recommendations and not to experiment. Only synthetic compounds are used. It is better not to pour mineral and even semi-synthetic mixtures into the engine, regardless of the operating conditions and characteristics of engine oils.
Cheap lubricants or mixtures that do not meet the manufacturer's requirements lead to premature wear of engine parts and costly repairs. 'Cause it's better to spend a little more money on good liquid than to become regular customer car services.
Replacement procedure
If you decide to drive a Skoda Fabia on your own, start from the official regulations and do not forget about safety measures. Following step by step, you can easily change the lubricant in the engine with your own hands and save a lot on car service services.
The procedure is standard and does not provide for particularly difficult moments. But questions arise regarding the change oil filter on the Skoda Fabia.
Oil filter
To change this element of the engine lubrication system, you will need a special oil filter wrench. Or take a key for 32. Although it is much more convenient to work with pullers. The procedure for replacing the device is somewhat different depending on which type of filter is installed on the machine:
- with replaceable filter;
- with replaceable filter element.
If the entire filter is to be replaced, then it is changed according to the following instructions:
The work is done somewhat differently if the housing does not need to be changed, and it is enough to change only the filter element in the filter.
Here, follow these instructions:
- remove the filter, as in the previous case;
- remove the filter element and seal from the part body;
- put replacement consumables in their place;
- screw on the filter cover;
- the part is tightened with a torque wrench, applying a force of 25 Nm.
This work has been completed. Just keep in mind that such a procedure allows you to partially replace the motor lubricant, since often the old fluid still remains in the engine system. If you want to fully change the engine oil without resorting to the help of specialists, then do a comprehensive cleaning.
Do you know how much oil is provided in different engines. But in practice, with self replacement Optimum level is achieved with less grease than indicated in technical specifications. This is due to the fact that during self-replacement without the use of special equipment, part of the old lubricant remains inside the engine. Therefore, when pouring a new mixture, it is mixed with the old one. This mixture cannot be considered a completely fresh oil, but rather a combination of two liquids.
If the car owner wants to achieve deep cleaning systems and make the most of the physical and chemical properties of fresh motor lubricant, a comprehensive cleaning will be required. The downside is that you have to use an impressive amount of new oil. But it's still cheaper than a car service. Cleaning is done by periodically changing the oil. Everything is done as we described earlier. The only caveat is the frequency between replacements. It is about 500 kilometers.
It is recommended to change the oil about 3 - 4 times, which will completely remove all the remnants of the old lubricant from the system and allow the engine to run on a completely fresh composition. If the system is completely cleaned, then exactly the amount of engine oil that is indicated in the technical specifications will enter the engine.
"Skoda Fabia" is a fairly simple car in terms of repair and maintenance. Therefore, most owners prefer to do it on their own. Timely changing motor lubricants and using only the compositions that comply with the regulations, you will ensure power unit long and trouble-free operation, significantly save on repairs and calls at the service station.
