* Year and model: Different Leon models (and even years within the same model) might use different oils.
* Engine size and type: The oil requirements for a 1.2L petrol engine will be different from a 2.0L diesel engine.
* Driving conditions: If you drive in extreme conditions (very hot or cold temperatures), you might need a different oil than someone who drives in a moderate climate.
Where to find the right oil:
1. Your Owner's Manual: The most reliable source for oil specifications is your Seat Leon's owner's manual. It will have a section detailing the recommended oil type, viscosity, and API (American Petroleum Institute) classification.
2. Service booklet: Your service booklet might have the same information as your owner's manual.
3. Local Seat dealer or mechanic: They can access information based on your car's VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) to provide the most accurate oil recommendation.
Don't guess! Using the wrong oil can damage your engine. Always refer to the information provided by your car's manufacturer.
