Complete Oil Change Kit EA888 Gen 3 (1.8 / 2.0 TSI-TFSI) – Liqui Moly Leichtlauf High Tech 5W-40

Compatibility of this VW 502 00 5W-40 kit. This kit is intended for EA888 Gen 3 versions for which the manufacturer specifies VW 502 00 oil. It does not cover versions requiring VW 504 00 or VW 508 00, including the 2019–2020 S3 and the 2019 Golf R DLRA requiring VW 504 00. Not all A3 8V models share the same oil specification: the generation alone does not determine compatibility with this kit. Geha Performance confirms the selection based on the vehicle and its engine.

Oil is the lifeblood of the engine. In the EA888, it protects moving parts from wear, dissipates heat, especially from the turbocharger, and holds combustion residues. Over time and mileage, it loses these properties.

The filter traps wear particles and impurities to prevent them from circulating through the engine. A new filter at every oil change keeps fresh oil clean for longer.

An oil change performed at the intervals specified by the manufacturer, using oil approved for the engine, is one of the simplest things you can do to protect a turbo engine.

A simple, clean oil change. On the 3rd generation EA888, the filter housing is on top of the engine, and the manufacturer provides two ways to remove the oil: through the oil pan plug, or by siphoning it out with an extractor through the dipstick tube. With an extractor, everything is done from the top, without lifting the car or making a mess. The new plug included in the kit can be used when changing the oil through the oil pan.
