Quite often, the owners of the Skoda Octavia A5 and A7 ask themselves about the frequency of replacing the engine oil in their car, as well as how much and which one is better to pour. Also, the owners of these cars are concerned about oil consumption during operation. In this article, we will answer all the questions regarding the oil change with our own hands, as well as its choice, and we will touch on the topic of repairing the level sensor in the engine crankcase.
First, a little about motors
Skoda Octavia A5 and A7 cars were equipped with 1.4, 1.6 and 1.8 liter engines, the injection systems on these engines were called mpi and tsi. Reliability and ease of maintenance have had a positive impact on owner feedback. Repair of these units becomes necessary even after 300 thousand kilometers, and this is a considerable resource.Few characteristics:
- The Skoda Octavia A7 1.4 tsi engine is turbocharged and has a power of 140 hp.
- The Skoda Octavia A7 1.6 mpi engine is equipped with point injection, and its power is 110 hp.
- On the Skoda Octavia A5 Tour model, a 1.8 tsi engine was installed; with the help of a turbine, this engine has a capacity of 152 hp.
- The same power unit was installed on the A7 Tour model and has a higher power - 180 hp.
Oil selection for Skoda Octavia cars
As we know, the oil change frequency is 10 thousand kilometers, only at such intervals the motor of your Skoda Octavia A7 Tour will serve you for many kilometers without breakdowns. Of course, such reliability will be achieved in the case of using original solutions for the Skoda Octavia.Skoda Octavia 1.6 and 1.8 tsi engines are very picky about the quality of the oil, in order to answer the question of what kind of oil you need to fill, we will give some tolerances regulated by the manufacturer.
- VW 504
- VW 502
It is these tolerances that should be indicated on the label of the canister with the new fluid. When using high-quality fluids, the Skoda Octavia 1.6 engines - 110 forces and 1.8 will last more than one hundred thousand kilometers.
If poor-quality materials are cast, lubricant consumption can increase significantly.
So that you know which oil is better to pour, we will answer - the original one. It is the original grease that performs its functions as best as possible, thereby protecting the engine parts from increased wear.
Getting Started
To get started, we need a certain set of tools, which consists of a set of screwdrivers, as well as 13 and 17 mm socket heads and a ratchet.- To carry out such work, it is necessary to use an inspection pit or a car lift.
- Unscrew the oil filter using a special remover, then install a new filter and tighten it.
- Remove the plastic protection of the engine crankcase, then unscrew the drain plug and wait until all the liquid drains into the container.
- Tighten the drain plug, then mount the crankcase protection in place.
- Fill in fresh liquid, observing the level. Check the oil level carefully and limit the amount of oil added. To know how much to pour, you need to use a dipstick. This probe has divisions, on many cars the distance between the minimum and maximum is one liter.
- Tighten the filler plug, then start the power unit and make sure that the pressure lamp for the lubrication system goes out.
- Stop the engine and check the level again using the dipstick. If necessary, add fluid in small portions. Using this method, you will have better control over the volume of the liquid being poured, and later you will know how much lubricant your motor needs.
- If the liquid is at the minimum mark, it is necessary to pour about 400 milliliters, this must be done in several steps, filling the entire volume.
It is advisable to carry out this work on a warmed-up motor, since the viscosity of the lubricating fluid decreases, thereby increasing its fluidity.
As soon as the level has reached a mark between the minimum and maximum, you should stop pouring liquid and this work can be considered completed.
Attention! If your car's engine eats oil, you need to set the level to the maximum mark, and then carefully monitor the volume.
Solve grease leakage and consumption problems.
If you find that the engine of your car is eating grease, and the level decreases at the same time, you need to inspect the unit for leaks. Perhaps the volume sensor has become unusable and needs to be replaced.Repair of the level sensor is not possible due to its design features. On engines A7 1.4, 140 forces, this malfunction occurs quite often. Therefore, owners of a 140 horsepower engine often complain that the engine eats lubricant, about 400 milliliters per 1000 km. Do not get upset, you need to immediately inspect the crankcase for leaks in the level sensor, most likely the problem is in it.
In general, the Skoda Octavia A7 1.4 tsi - 140 forces have an admission from the factory for lubricant consumption in the amount of 200-400 milliliters per 1000 kilometers. This consumption depends on the driving style of a particular driver, as well as the operating conditions of this vehicle.
To reduce the consumption of lubricants and fuel, you should not subject the A7 1.4 tsi - 140 forces to extreme loads. Moving smoothly without sudden accelerations, you will not only reduce lubricant consumption, but also save your car from increased wear of rubbing parts.
Sensor repair
On Skoda Octavia A7 1.4 tsi engines - 140 forces, as well as 1.6 mpi - 110 forces, the level sensor must be replaced in case of damage. The same picture is observed on the 1.8 liter unit. Of course, there are some cases in which repairs make sense.To change this sensor, it is necessary to pour all the grease from the engine crankcase until it drains out completely, after which, having disconnected the connector, unscrew the three bolts securing this part in the desired position. After removing the sensor, it is necessary to thoroughly clean the contact surface, then install a new part and make its fasteners.
After installing a new part, the amount of grease must be replenished.
This procedure is best combined with a routine oil change in the engine. After replacing this element with the Skoda Octavia A7 1.4 tsi - 140 forces, as well as 1.6 mpi - 110 forces, the lubricant consumption will significantly decrease, and you will not have to constantly pour decreasing lubricant.
If the engine eats grease after replacing this part, most likely it will be necessary to repair the entire unit. Perhaps, it eats grease precisely because of the increased wear of the piston rings. Also, the motor eats grease after overheating or eats due to failure of the valve seals. All these reasons can be at the same time, and then the power unit eats grease in huge quantities. Comprehensive repair of the power unit is comparable to half the cost of the entire car, and this is a considerable financial expense. 
Conclusion
- How do we know the Skoda Octavia A7 and A5 engines? such as 1.4,1.6,1.8? with a capacity of 110 to 140 horsepower, they are quite reliable units. With proper maintenance and regular maintenance, these engines are capable of running 300,000 kilometers without repair.
- To know which lubricant is better to pour into the motor, you need to purchase original solutions and be guided by the manufacturer's approval. In this case, the resource of your car will remain the same as provided by the manufacturer.
- We have described in detail how to replace the engine fluid. You can follow our article and take step-by-step actions, referring to each item. Pay due attention to safety instructions.
- If your car's engine is eating grease, you need to inspect its body for leaks. If the level sensor is damaged, this device cannot be repaired, the manufacturer only provides for a replacement. How to replace this element, we described in detail in our article.

The following questions are often found, answers to the cat. the dealers themselves gave me:
What kind of oil does the manufacturer pour into Skoda?- Shell helix / Castrol.
What kind of oil do dealers pour us?- with whom the contract is concluded, then they pour. Mostly Castrol.
What is the best oil to pour?- Be guided not by reviews, but by the recommendations of the factory and the condition of your car.
My experience.
I used to pour LiquidMolli 5W30 TOP TEC 4200 LongLife III oil - the consumption was about 500 grams per thousand.
UPDATE 01/14/16
Now I switched to Shell Helix Ultra 0w30, tolerance 502nd - the consumption has decreased!
It became about 200 grams per thousand.

Oil specifications from the Skoda manual
When topping up, you can mix different oils with each other. This not applies to cars with flexible interservice intervals.
The capacities are given taking into account the replacement of the oil filter. Check oil level when filling, do not overfill.
For vehicles with flexible service intervals only the following oils may be filled.
To maintain the properties of the engine oil, we recommend topping up with oil of the same specification only. In exceptional cases, it is possible, only once, to top up with a maximum of 0.5 liters of engine oil of VW 502 00 specification (petrol engines only) or VW 505 01 specification (diesel engines only).
Do not use other engine oils - risk of engine damage!
When to change the oil
In severe operating conditions in a large city or in a very dusty area. Recommended oil and filter change every 7-8 thousand km.
Checking the oil level
The vehicle must be on a level, level surface and the engine must be still warm after operation.
- Stop the engine.
- Open the hood.
- Wait a few minutes for the engine oil to drain back into the oil pan and remove the dipstick.
- Wipe off the oil dipstick with a clean cloth and insert as far as it will go.
- Remove the oil dipstick again and check the oil level.
Oil level in zone A-Do not add oil.
Oil level in zone B- Oil can be topped up.
Thereafter, the oil level may rise to zone A.
Oil level in zone C- Oil needs to be added.
It is enough that the oil level is in zone B.
Engine oil consumption is normal. Depending on driving style and operating conditions, oil consumption can be up to 0.5 l / 1000 km.
In the first 5,000 km, the oil consumption can be even higher.
Therefore, the oil level should be checked regularly, preferably at every refueling or after a long drive.
When the engine load is high, for example, when driving on motorways for a long time in the summer, when driving with a trailer or driving on high altitudes, it is recommended to maintain the oil level in zone A - but not higher.
If the oil level is insufficient, the warning lamp in the instrument cluster comes on. In this case, check the oil level with the dipstick as soon as possible. Add the correct amount of oil.
CAREFULLY
The oil level must never be higher than zone A ".
Risk of damage to the exhaust gas aftertreatment system!
If in this situation you are unable to add oil, do not continue driving. Stop the engine and seek professional assistance, otherwise serious engine damage may occur.
Topping up engine oil
- Check engine oil level "see above
- Unscrew the engine oil filler cap.
- Fill in oil of the recommended brand in 0.5 liter portions. "
- Checking the oil level.
- Carefully screw on the oil filler cap and insert the oil dipstick as far as it will go.
Do not add additives to engine oil.- this can cause serious damage to engine parts! Damage caused by such causes is not covered by the warranty.
Helpful tips for changing the oil
Drain the oil after driving while the engine is still warm. If the engine is cold, start up and warm it up to operating temperature. Fill with the same grade of oil as the oil in the engine.
If you do decide to change the brand of oil, flush the lubrication system with flushing oil or oil of the brand that will be used. To do this, after draining the old oil, fill in the new oil up to the lower mark on the dipstick oil. Start the engine and let it idle for 10 minutes. Drain the oil and only then replace the oil filter. Now you can add new oil to the required level (up to the upper mark on the dipstick).

The engine on a Skoda car is subject to wear and deformation over time. To prevent this process, it is necessary to correctly select the motor lubricant according to the tolerances and specifications from the manufacturer. High-quality oil will not only ensure the functional performance of the system, but also protect it from damage.
What are the tolerances for Skoda of different models
Skoda Rapid
The Czech manufacturer indicates in the manual a VW Long Life III lubricant with a viscosity of 5w30 for Skoda Rapid models with engine powers and displacement:
- 122 h.p. TSI - 1.4 L;
- 86, 105 HP TSI - 1.2 L;
- 105 h.p. TDI - 1.6 L
For more powerful powertrains, the manufacturer recommends VW Special Plus 5w40 oil. It is poured into the atmospheric engines installed on the Rapid.
At the factory, a new car released from the assembly line is filled with Volkswagen branded grease with tolerances of 502 and 504. When performing maintenance, specialists can offer motor oils with other specifications and tolerances. For example, Skoda service centers can offer oils from the Shell, Mobile or Castrol brands.
Skoda Octavia
The manufacturer recommends pouring synthetic-based products into the power units of the Octavia A5. As for the tolerances, they must comply with the VW 502/504/505/507 standards. Viscosity - 5w40, 5w30. However, when performing MOT, 0w30 grease is poured in. Car enthusiasts prefer:
- Motul 8100;
- Castrol Edge;
- Shell Helix Ultra;
- Neste City Pro;
- X-Wedge;
- Liquid Moli.
- TDI 2.0 - 3.8 L;
- TDI 1.9 - 4.3 L;
- TSI 1.8 - 4.6 L;
- TDI 1.6 - 3.8 L;
- MPI 1.6 - 4.5 L;
- TSI 1.4 - 3.6 liters;
- TSI 1.2 - 3.6 liters.
According to technical regulations, oil change is performed after 15 thousand kilometers or earlier, depending on operating conditions.
Octavia 7
The operating instructions indicate that for vehicles with a flexible drain interval, it is necessary to fill in oils with VW 504 tolerances if the engine has a volume of 1.2-1.4-1.8 liters and is equipped with a turbine.
It is recommended to fill VW 507 in turbocharged engines with volumes of 1.6 and 2.0 on diesel fuel. If a limited interval is set on the car, then lubricants with tolerances of 502 are suitable for gasoline internal combustion engines.
The Czech manufacturer fills Skoda Octavia 7 cars with Castrol Edge 5w30 oil by default. It complies with Long Life III tolerances, which can be stamped on the canister together with Volkswagen specifications.
After passing MOT, motorists prefer to change the branded lubricant to alternative analogues from manufacturers:
- Mobil;
- Shell;
- Motul.
The viscosity index is selected based on the operating conditions and temperature indicators of a particular region.
When talking about the frequency of replacement, it is worth starting from the applied tolerances. It is best to replace the car oil upon reaching 10-15 thousand km of run.
Volumes of liquid poured into motors:
- TSI 1.2-1.4 - 4.2 L;
- TSI 1.8 - 5.2 L;
- TDI 1.6-2.0 - 4.6 liters.
Octavia Tour
The replacement interval for the Octavia Tur ICE systems is from 10 to 15 thousand km, depending on the operating conditions. The manufacturer recommends synthetic lubricants with an index of 5w30 or 5w40, depending on the parameters and engine size.
The amount of oil to be poured in is up to 5 liters. In terms of tolerances, the product must comply with VW 503-504. Tolerances of older VW 501-502 versions may also be suitable.
Skoda Superb
Volkswagen uses factory synthetic 5w30 oil for Skoda Superb internal combustion engines. It complies with VW Long Life III approvals. This is essentially the same lubricant as Castrol SLX. In service centers, a synthetic base lubricant from the manufacturer Shell is poured into the motors.
You can fill in motor oils from other manufacturers. The main indicator is the compliance of tolerances 502-504 and viscosity grades of the product 5w40, 5w30. Also, do not forget about the oil change frequency recommended for turbocharged ICE systems. If the Superb model has a 2.0 TDI engine, then it is better to use a Castrol 5w30 with a 507 tolerance.
A lubricant with VW 504 tolerances must be used when a mileage of 15 thousand km is reached. Some car enthusiasts prefer to replace after 10 thousand km. The regulation allows for an earlier replacement if the car is operated in harsh climatic conditions.
Skoda Yeti clearance
For power units installed on Skoda Yeti, original GM Dexos 2 grease is suitable. It complies with VW and LL approvals. The following tolerances are indicated on the packaging:
- VW 504;
- VW 501;
- VW 502.
Service centers for atmospheric systems of 1.6 MPI internal combustion engines operating on gasoline use Shell Helix or Castrol Edge with viscosity indices of 5w30. Such power units comply with VW 502/504/505/507 tolerances. Experts also offer to fill in motor lubricants from manufacturers:
- Motul 8100 5w40;
- Total 9000;
- Liquid Moli.
When deciding on a choice, special attention should be paid to specifications and viscosity. As a rule, 4 liters are used for Skoda Yeti engines. Replacement is carried out based on climatic conditions. The recommended frequency is 10-15 thousand kilometers.
Oil in the ICE system Skoda Fabia
Motor fluid for the Skoda Fabia model must have a VW 502-505 approval and a viscosity grade of 5w40 or 5w30. Castrol Edge recommended.
You can also pour compositions on a synthetic base with a viscosity index of 0w30. In Skoda service centers, specialists use such an oil for Fabia with an engine size of 1.4.
