Extended Service Interval
Oil change?
Not until next year!
Model Year 2001 sees the introduction of the
Extended Service Interval at ŠKODA for the
Octavia model range.
Depending on the model and engine version,
service intervals of up to 2 years or a
maximum of 30000 km in the case of petrol
engines and 50000 km in the case of certain
diesel engines, are now possible.
This makes it possible to comply with
customer wishes for reduction in the amount
of service work, and also reflects the
competitive situation.

It is the technical evolutions of the engines,
new wear-resistant engine oils, lowmaintenance lead-calcium battery, as well as a
further development of the service interval
display which create the technical
requirements for this advance.
Each service on a vehicle featuring the
extended service interval always includes an
oil change.
Note:
The extended service interval will be
introduced initially on the Octavia.

Einführung
Extended Service Interval ... brief
and to the point
What is the extended service
interval?
What is the special feature of the
extended service interval?
How is the driver aware when a
service is due?
What are the displays of the
extended service interval?
The extended service interval is based on a wide range
of technical developments. These make it possible to
achieve a significant extension of the service intervals.
The driver is informed in good time of the distance
remaining until the next service is due by means of a
modified service interval display.
Service intervals no longer need to be stated as fixed
intervals.
Service intervals are determined from the conditions of
operation of the vehicle as well as from the style of
driving.
The display in the dash panel insert informs the driver
of the distance remaining until the next service is due.
Warning if oil level is low.
Warning if brake pads at wear limit.
What are the positive effects of the
extended service interval?
Are there any special points to note
in respect of the grade of oil and oil
changes?
Distance remaining until next service is due.
The extended service intervals greatly reduce the
quantity of oil consumed over the entire life of the
vehicle as a result of a smaller number of oil changes.
A smaller quantity of old oil is produced which
minimises disposal and environmental problems.
Operating costs are reduced.
Yes! The extended service interval is only possible if
engine oils conforming with certain VW standards are
used. If oils conforming with other VW standards are
used, the dash panel insert must be programmed
accordingly. In this case, only fixed service intervals of
15000 km or once year are possible for the oil change.

Identification of vehicules featuring
the extended service interval
The extended service interval will be
introduced on the Octavia with effect from
Model Year 2001.
It is based on the particular model and engine.
Cars profiting from the full benefits of the
extended service interval are recognizable
from the PR number
data sticker.
This is used in 2 versions for each vehicle.
Sticker is affixed in the luggage

"Next Service" sticker
A new sticker "Next service date" has also
been introduced at the same time as the
extended service interval.
If the extended service interval applies to the
vehicle, a cross is made in the box "as per

Extended Service Interval
Flexible service interval
The combination processor in the dash panel
insert J218 performs the task of calculating
the service interval display. It computes the
distance remaining until the next Inspection
Service on the basis of the appropriate
information.
The extended service intervals are only
possible if the dash panel insert is coded
accordingly, and if the specified engine oil is
used.
The next service interval is calculated flexibly
only if the service interval display has been
reset using V.A.G 1552, V.A.G 1551 or VAS
5051, after a service event.
Fixed service intervals 1 year/
15000 km for oil change
It is also possible to set a fixed interval of
15000 km/1 year for the oil change. This is
necessary if the engine oil used does not
conform with the LongLife specification.
It is also possible to reset the service interval
display at the dash panel insert.
In this case, a fixed interval of 1 year/15000 km
is set automatically, however.
The procedure is also described in the Owner's
Manual.

The service interval display
The driver is informed of the distance which
remains until the next service by means of the
display in the dash panel insert.
In the standard version of the dash panel
insert, the message appears calculated by the
counter of the speedometer.
On models fitted with onboard computer or
navigation system, the information relating to
the next service due appears in the central
display.
The distance stated until the next service is
reduced in steps of 100 kilometres and is redisplayed each time the engine is started.
Note:
The service interval display must be
reset (adapted) each time a Delivery
Inspection or a service is performed.
Please always proceed as specified in
the Workshop Manual.

the distance driven, in each stage in time units
of 3 seconds, with the fuel consumed during
the same time unit and the temperature
profile detected during this period.
What this produces is a value which is a

Extended Service Interval
Engine oil
Engine oil conforming to VW standard
The engine oil is an essential element of the
engine design. Š KODA engines must be filled
with oils which are approved in conformity
with the VW standard. Oils of the specified
standard must also be used for topping up.
New oil standard in combination with
extended service interval with flexible display
(LongLife oils)
Various oil companies, cooperating with the
Volkswagen Group, have developed synthetic
engine oils conforming to new standards to
permit introduction of the extended service
interval. It is only possible to achieve the long
service intervals without a damage to the
mechanical components of the engine, if
these special oils are used.
SP44_07
SP44_11
Type of engine Oil standard
Petrol engines: VW 503 00
TDI diesel engines
(except unit injection) VW 506 00
The new engine oils ensure even more stable
engine protection over the long life of the oil.
The specific high-lubricity properties also
contribute to a reduction in fuel consumption.
Use of LongLife oil in other engines
Engines which do not have the technical
requirements for the extended service interval
must not be filled with LongLife oil.
Refer to the specified oil standards.

Topping up engine oil
Oil conforming with the new specified oil
standard, must also be used when topping up
engine oil.
... only in exceptional cases
Topping up non-LongLife engine oil
It is possible that a customer has to
top up the oil, for example if an oil
level warning is indicated between
service events because the oil is at its
minimum level.
If, for example, oil conforming to the
new standard is not available at a
filling station, not more than 0.5 liter
of oil conforming to the standard
VW 502 00 may be topped up in the
case of petrol engines, and oil
conforming to VW 505 00 in the case
of diesel engines.
… Empfehlung an den Kunden
… for long trips
Recommend the customer to take in
the car engine oil conforming to the
new oil standard before setting off on
a long journey. This ensures that the
correct oil is always available for
topping up.
This should only be done in
exceptional cases in order to maintain
mobility.
... it is not necessary in such a case to
recode the service interval display.

Extended Service Interval
Oil level/oil temperature sender
G266
The flexible service interval display obtains
the information for calculating the oil level
and oil temperature from the newly developed
oil level/oil temperature sender G266.
In the case of diesel engines, the average
deposit of soot particulates in the engine oil
which has been determined from trials and
stored in a map in the engine control unit, is
also included in the calculation.

The oil level/oil temperature sender G266 is a
thermal oil level sensor. When driving, the
engine oil temperature is constantly measured
and the engine oil level calculated. Both
values are transmitted to the dash panel insert
by means of a common pulse width
modulated signal.

Measuring oil temperature and oil level
The oil temperature is detected by the
integrated electronics of the separate
temperature sensor.
The measuring element for the oil level
likewise operates with a temperature
measurement. It is heated up for a short time
to a temperature above the current oil
temperature.
After the heating voltage is switched off, the
measuring element is cooled down again by
the engine oil to the temperature level of the
oil.
The oil level is calculated from the length of
the cooling-down period.

Extended Service Interval
Low oil level warning signal
The familiar engine oil pressure warning light
is also used for indicating the oil level.
If it lights up yellow
... the oil level is too low
If it flashes yellow for about 5 s after ignition
"ON"
... there is a fault in the oil level/oil
temperature sender G266
SP44_09
Note:
If it flashes red
... the oil level is too low (risk of
damage to the engine) – the engine
must be switched off.
In addition, an audible signal sounds
(3 beep signals).
Important:
The oil level warning is
cancelled by operating the
bonnet contact. It is not possible
to reset it with the selfdiagnosis.
The bonnet contact
The contact switch for the bonnet F120 is also
included in the calculations of the service
interval display.
The signal supplied by the bonnet contact is
analysed as soon as the oil level warning has
been activated.
If the bonnet is opened after an oil level
warning has been activated, the electronic
control assumes that oil has been topped up
and cancels oil level warning.
If, however, the oil was not topped up, the
electronic control recognises once again
within about 100 km that the oil level is too
low and once again activates the oil level
warning.

Low-maintenance lead-calcium
battery
With the introduction of the extended service
interval, this means that the battery is also not
inspected by the service workshop for a
lengthy period. It is nevertheless important to
ensure that the battery continues to operate
properly during this extended time period.
What is new in this "New battery"?
– lead-calcium
– visual status display
The battery casing is not transparent.
This does not create any disadvantages,
however, when it comes to checking the
battery because the topping-up cycles are
three times longer than is the case for a
conventional battery.
The battery has a round inspection window on
the top. This so-called "magic eye" alters its
colour depending on the charge state and
electrolyte level of the battery.

Brake wear indicator
The wear of the brake pad is determined
electrically.
If the brake pad has reached its wear limit, the
contact loop is cut through and the warning
indicator in the dash panel insert lights up.
Depending on the vehicle model, the warning
"Check brakes" appears in the display of the
dash panel insert. It is additionally supported
by an audible warning (1 beep signal).
SP44_04
Note:
The brake wear indicator on the Octavia is fitted to the inner
pad of the left front wheel (also if ESP fitted).
If the wear warning indicator is activated, it is of course
necessary to inspect the wear of the pads at all the brakes.
Service interval and driving style
The extended service interval makes it
possible to achieve extremely long intervals
between a service. This does not necessarily
mean, however, that the intervals which are
possible are in fact achieved.
This depends to a not unimportant extent on
the operation conditions of the vehicle.
SP44_05
The driver is requested to have a service
carried out if one of the following
3 conditions is met:
– The maximum distance of 30000 km
(petrol engines)/50000 km (diesel
engines) since the last service is
reached
20
– 2 years have elapsed since the last
service
– The limit of the evaluated fuel
consumption is reached (refer to

If the vehicle is driven in an economic manner and, for the most part,
over long distances, it is possible to achieve a maximum service
interval of 30000 km or 2 years in the case of a petrol engine, or
50000 km and
2 years in the case of a diesel engine.
Extreme operating conditions, vehicle driven sharply (not economyoriented) and for the most part over short distances; all these factors
can result in only the minimum service interval of 15000 km being
achieved.

Note:
It is also possible to reset the service
interval display at the dash panel
insert with the setting buttons for
distance and time.
If this is done, a fixed interval of
15000 km/1 year is then automatically
set.
Note:
You can find the detailed steps for
resetting the service interval display in
the Workshop Manual "Electrical
System".

Coding
Coding to "non-LongLife oil"
If engine oils are used which do not comply
with the VW standard for the extended service
interval, it is not possible to ensure flexible
service intervals.
The dash panel in this case should then be
coded accordingly to "non-flexible", in other
words to time or distance. In this case, the
familiar service intervals (15000 km/1 year)
then apply.
Coding of the service interval display is
carried out using:
– vehicle system tester V.A.G 1552, or
– fault reader V.A.G 1551, or
– vehicle diagnosis, measuring and
information system VAS 5051

Service Dialogue
Customers will certainly have a lot of
questions regarding the extended service
interval.
Here are the commonly asked questions with
their answers.
The customer asks: The specialist answers:
How do I recognize whether the extended
service interval including the flexible oil
change applies to my car?
Is it necessary to use the new LongLife oils
conforming to the standard VW 503 00 or
VW 506 00?
The technology required for the extended
service interval is not visible at first sight. That
is why vehicles fitted with the extended
service interval can be recognised from the
data noted on the service sticker. The point at
which the sticker is affixed to the vehicle
varies according to the particular country. We
affix the sticker and complete itaus.
No. The customer can choose. The new
LongLife oils make it possible to drive for
extended service intervals. The distance
achieved is dependent in this case on the style
of driving. If conventional oils are used, the
previous intervals then apply: 15000 km or 1
year.
Do I have to drive particularly slowly in
order to achieve the service intervals with
flexible oil change?
Assuming I'm at a filling station where I
can't get LongLife oil. What kind of oil can I
use for topping up?
What is important is a balanced style of
driving. If the car is driven often at full throttle
and/or over short distances, it is clear that it
must undergo an inspection more often than
is the case for a car which is driven at constant
speeds and often over long distances
(motorways).
In exceptional cases, up to 0.5 liter of oils
conforming to standard VW 502 00 or VW 505
00 may be topped up once without affecting
the particular properties of the LongLife oil.

The customer asks: The specialist answers:
Is it possible for a workshop to determine
whether the correct oil was chosen for
topping up?
If the engine has occasionally been operated
with conventional oil, is it then still possible
to again use LongLife oil conforming to the
standard VW 503 00 or VW 506 00?
No, this is unfortunately not possible. In their
own interest, customers should pay particular
attention to ensuring that the correct oils are
always used. The extended service intervals
are only possible with LongLife oils.
Yes. If the vehicle is fitted with the new
technology, the system should be refilled with
a LongLife oil and it is then possible to enjoy
all the benefits of the extended service
interval.
Is it also possible to enjoy the benefits of
extended service intervals on older cars
provided LongLife oils are used?
Is it possible to convert older cars to the
extended service interval?
How often is it necessary to change the oil
filter?
GB
No. The newly developed oils do not help if
the matching technology is not fitted.
No. This is not technically feasible.
Each time the oil is changed – as usual.
