SEAT differentiates between services with an engine oil change (e.g. Interval Service) and services without an engine oil change (e.g. Inspection Service).
The service interval display only provides information about service dates that include a change of engine oil. The dates of all other services, such as Inspec-
tion Service or brake fluid change, appear in the sticker on the door pillar.
Note
If LongLife oil is not used, the service dependent on time/distance travelled
is applied, and the oil must be changed every 15 000 km (10 000 miles) or
every year. Ð

Safety notes
All fluids and consumables, such as timing belts, tyres, coolant liquid, en-
gine oil, spark plugs and vehicle batteries are continuously being devel-
oped. Therefore, we recommend you take the vehicle to a qualified work-
shop to have fluids or consumables changed. The Official SEAT Services re-
ceive regular up-to-date information about modifications. This is why SEAT
recommends you have fluids and other consumables replaced by an Official
SEAT Service.

LongLife Service
Thanks to the technology used at SEAT, with the LongLife Service, an Inter-
val Service only has to be carried out when it is necessary.
The length of the service intervals is also determined by factors such as
conditions under which the vehicle is used and personal driving style.
If LongLife engine oil is not used, the service dependent on time/distance
travelled then applies. In this case, an oil change service will have to be
carried out every 15 000 km (10 000 miles) or every year. This also applies
if you reprogram the vehicle to the service dependent on time/distance trav-
