What oil to buy for Skoda Yeti 1.2. Skoda engine oil

We present to your attention the official answer to the question “ What engine oil should be used in Skoda cars“! We, in your Skoda service, know what it is Shell Helix, keep it in stock and pour it into these cars. But often we are faced with such bewilderment Skoda owners about Shell, that we are starting to think that we ourselves are not catching up with something. What kind of oil they didn’t try to present to us as the official Skoda oil ... Both Castrol and Liqui Moly, and even Pentosin! Of course, each time they gave emotional arguments, referring either to dealers, or to familiar mechanics, or to forums.

They began to wonder where such conflicting information came from. We called the dealers. They heard Mobil, Castrol, Shell.

We called the services specializing in Skoda. They said “I have Castrol on my BMW, but Skoda is also German”, “Yes, what will be available”, “Hell knows, I’m an inspector and I don’t rummage about oils”, and also “Whatever you bring, then we’ll fill ".

Read the forums. It feels like the world champions have gathered there, if not in rally, then in circuit racing for sure! Well, or experts in tuning and finishing engines. One says that he first drove a Castrol dealership, then filled up with Liqui Moly and felt an increase of several Horse power power. The profile says that he sells contact lenses. How, explain, the lens dealer was able to feel the increase in a few horses on Skoda Fabia? Someone writes that he first poured Mobil, bought in Auchan at a price of 1400 rubles for a five-liter canister, and then bought for almost the same Mobil for 1600 and the car started to start better ... The third friend said that his mother-in-law does not like oil and he generally oil does not want to change, but wants a saber and a bulldog puppy. In general, it was not possible to obtain official information from there.

They called the Skoda plant in the Czech Republic. They were offended and replied that they never use oil at all, and that they only have pure hops, malt and water. It turned out that they called the Krusovice brewery by mistake.

And everything would be fine, but after all, we are forced every single day to eliminate the technical illiteracy of Skoda owners, explaining which oil should be filled in. And again we hear something like “And they told me in the store that Liqui Moly is better” ... And they don’t believe it, and they even try to argue. It's a shame, honestly! It feels like we are trying to deceive everyone and are not doing explanations, but justifications.

We need some kind of undeniable proof that Skoda really recommends Shell. This will not be shown on Channel One, there is either no official information on the Internet, or they do not trust it, dealers randomly advise different oils, and no one can write anything intelligible on the forums either. If only Skoda would come to us, which would have the coveted Shell badge on the lid or under the hood ... Then we could poke our noses at this badge of all the doubters!

And our prayers have been answered! Yesterday I came Skoda Octavia on the computer diagnostics and troubleshooting that could not be seen in the other two services. We opened the hood and were dumbfounded together, not believing our eyes!

Motor oil Skoda

Here! It is written in English in black that Skoda recommends Shell Helix engine oil! Finally! We even made a discount on diagnostics!

Attention Skoda owners! Your vehicles should only be filled with engine oil Shell Helix! And point. Yes, and don't forget that Russian Federation engine oil needs to be changed every 7500 kilometers. The only way. No 15,000 kilometers from replacement to replacement! Take pity on your motor. Who cares why, call, we will advise. Well, do not forget that engine oil has so-called tolerances, which must also be taken into account. Oil with a tolerance of 502/505 can be bought under the article, and oil with a tolerance of 504/507 (more stringent and modern tolerance) - under the article.

HOLD

Changing engine oil on a Skoda Yeti car is one of the most important maintenance work provided for by the regulations. High-quality engine oil ensures stable and reliable operation of the internal combustion engine. Having saved on it or on the oil filter, you will spend incomparably more money on the subsequent repair of the Skoda Yeti engine.

What is the function of engine oil

The role of this fluid in the operation of the engine is difficult to overestimate. Engine oil circulates continuously through the lubrication system. It not only reduces friction at the points of contact of moving parts, but also provides heat dissipation. Another one essential function– cleaning the system from wear products. The fact is that Skoda Yeti engine parts wear out.

This process is accompanied by the formation of small metal chips, which, when re-entering the contact points, causes increased wear. These chips will enter the engine oil, which cycles through oil filter. Wear products and other impurities remain in the oil filter, while the purified fluid continues to circulate through the system.

What are the consequences of an untimely replacement

Over time, this fluid loses its properties and becomes contaminated. If it is not replaced in a timely manner, it will inefficiently perform its functions. Engine oil will begin to burn out in the cylinders, forming soot, which will reduce the efficiency of the Skoda engine's cylinder-piston group. The liquid will no longer be able to properly lubricate the parts, which will lead to their intense wear.

Over time, the oil filter of the Skoda engine becomes clogged. If this happens, the liquid through the check valve will bypass the filter. This will further aggravate the situation and lead to intensive wear of the Skoda Yeti engine. In this case, the temperature of the rubbing parts rises, which leads to their thermal expansion. And this can already cause jamming of the mechanism, which will lead to engine failure. Such repairs cost a lot of money.

When to perform this procedure

This operation must be carried out in accordance with the maintenance regulations for Skoda car Yeti. The regulation provides for the replacement of engine oil at intervals equal to 15,000 mileage. At operating Skoda Yeti in severe conditions is allowed to increase the frequency of service.

How does this happen

This process is not very complicated and does not require special skills. It is necessary to install the car on a viewing hole. Dismantle the filler cap and drain plug, substituting a container under it in advance in which you plan to collect mining. Wait for the waste to drain into the container and remove the oil filter.

Although mining stopped flowing, part of it remained in the pan. This is due to the design of the sump and the layout of the drain hole. The rest of the mining can be removed through the probe holes using special equipment or fixture.

Screw in the drain plug. Take a new oil filter in your hand, fill it halfway pure liquid and install it on the engine, tightening with a special tool. A half-filled oil filter will increase the system's bleed rate and reduce the engine's run time in adverse conditions. Pour fluid into the motor through the filler neck. We will talk about the required volume and requirements for oil a little later. Turn on the engine of your Skoda Yeti and let it run for a few minutes. idling. Check fluid level and top up if necessary.

How to check the level

You can check the level with the Yeti oil dipstick. To do this, it must be removed, wiped, inserted back and removed again. By the traces on the surface of the probe, you can determine this very level. The dipstick has special marks that allow you to adhere to the desired level. The optimal level is the key to the efficient operation of the Skoda engine.

What and how much to pour

Timely oil change will not only increase the efficiency of the engine, but also create the most favorable conditions for the operation of its components and assemblies. In addition, compliance with the regulations provided by the manufacturer is a prerequisite for maintaining the warranty on the vehicle.

Skoda Yeti is a compact urban crossover, which is the most affordable SUV class model in the world. Russian market. Reliability, comfort, handling and high quality workmanship are the main advantages for which this car is bought. There are practically no problems with Yeti maintenance if the machine is under warranty. But when the warranty period ends, problems arise. Since branded dealership Skoda provides only paid services, the owners of a used crossover have to choose whether to sell the car or leave it, resigned to expensive repairs. There is a third option, which is the most preferable - for example, to carry out maintenance on your own in order to save on maintenance. Moreover, even an inexperienced owner will cope with some procedures. One of these procedures is changing the oil in the engine. But first you have to choose suitable oil to keep the engine running for as long as possible. This article provides recommendations for choosing a high-quality lubricant, as well as recommended oil parameters for Skoda Yeti engines.

The best option

Experienced motorists pour into Skoda engine Fabia only proven lubricants. Among them there is a certified oil General Motors Dexos 2 with 5W30 parameters . This quality consumable is ideal for almost all engine Skoda line Yeti. The oil has passed many tests, as a result of which it has received recognition from international experts, and most importantly, it has received approval from the official management of Skoda.

The parameters of the oil in question are impressive, and fully comply with the markings indicated in the Skoda Fabia user manual. Let's pay attention to the parameters of General Motors Dexos 2 5W30 oil:

• ACEA Compliant - Classes A3, B3, B4 and C3
• API Compliant - Supported SM/SL/CF Classes
• Quality certificate from Volkswagen Group, which includes Skoda
• Suitable for use in all VW vehicles, from Skoda to BMW and Porsche

Analogues

The above grease from General Motors is a more affordable analogue compared to original oil Skoda. As is known, crossover Yeti comes from the factory with Skoda oil already filled, which is considered the highest quality. It is from the parameters of this lubricant that it is necessary to build on, and give preference to other brands. In any case, all the necessary specifications can be found in the instructions for the Skoda Yeti. Then these parameters should be compared with those indicated on the product packaging.

For example, General Motors Dexos 2 grease fully complies with the standards of the German brand. So, the following standards should be indicated on the packaging with oil:

• VW501.01
• VW502.00
• VW504.00

For petrol and diesel engines there are parameters of tolerance, viscosity and ash content. Let's look at them separately for each. model range Skoda Yeti:

Conclusion

Thus, based on the information received, when choosing a suitable lubricant, one should primarily focus on the recommended parameters. The fact is that today there are many manufacturers who produce fake oils. Such a product often does not have any certification, and can only be attracted by a low price. You should not buy the cheapest oil, especially when it comes to lubricant for Skoda Yeti. It is also not recommended to mix different oils, as they have different properties. If possible, it is necessary to fill in the factory grease, and among analogues, choose GM oil or other products with the appropriate parameters.

It makes no sense to overpay station workers Maintenance for scheduled replacement of engine oil and related filters. It is enough to do this not tricky work once and next time you will already be a specialist. And of course, we will help you in the small nuances of this simple task.

How much to pour (refueling volumes)

• Engines 1.2 and 1.4 l - 3.6 l
• Engine 1.8 l - 4.6 l
• 2.0 l - 4.3 l (only 507 tolerance)

Before starting work, make sure that you have bought everything and have at hand:

• New oil;
• Oil filter;
• Rags;
• Basin for ~ 5 l;
• Key for removing protection and drain plug;

Work in stages

1. We warm up cold engine 3-4 minutes. Cold oil will leak badly from the engine, as a result, a lot of dirty oil may remain, which you will eventually mix with new one. Thus, the characteristics of the new oil will deteriorate.
2. We put the car on jacks or on a viewing hole ( perfect option) for easy access to the bottom. In some models, "protection" of the crankcase may be installed. It will need to be removed to access the drain plug.
3. Unscrew the filler cap, remove the oil dipstick. Oil drains faster if there is a through hole.
4. We substitute a basin or any other dishes that can hold 5 liters of mining.
   
5. We unscrew the drain plug with a key (it is better if the ratchet wakes up). It is best to immediately calculate that the oil wakes up hot. At this stage of work, you need to be most careful.
6. After completely draining the old dirty oil, which is black, remove the bowl to the side.
7. An optional item is to flush the engine with a special flushing fluid. You will be surprised what black oil will pour out with this liquid. It is very easy to use this liquid. Pour into the engine, after screwing the drain plug of course. We start the car for 3-5 minutes. At the same time, we drive and heat our liquid on an old oil filter. After, we muffle and drain into a free container.
8. Change the oil filter to a new one. Before installing a new filter, pour about 100 g of fresh oil into it and also lubricate the rubber o-ring on it.
   
9. Fill in new oil. Making sure that drain plug twisted, and a new oil filter is installed, we can start filling in new oil, guided by the dipstick. The level must be between the minimum and maximum marks. Also, you need to remember that after the first start of the engine, a little oil will go away and the level will drop.
   
10. Recheck the oil level on the dipstick after the first start. Let the engine run for about 10 minutes at idle.
