Out of interest what are people using for top up Oil?
I didn't get anything with the car, but looking at Seat's website:
"SEAT recommends Castrol EDGE Professional Longlife III 5W-30 and Longlife IV FE 0W-20"
Looking at the 11-2018 owners manual on P48 under "If the engine oil level is too low" it reads:
You can get information about the correct engine oil for your vehicle in your specialised shop. If you have to change your engine oil, use this oil.
If the recommended engine oil is not available, in the event of an emergency you can change the oil once with a maximum of 0.5 L of the next oil until the next oil change:
Petrol engines: standard VW 504 00, VW 502 00, VW 508 00, ACEA C3 or API SN.
Diesel engines: standard VW 507 00, VW 505 01, ACEA C3 or API CK-4.
Using engine oil that is compliant with the VW 504 00 standard instead of VW 508 00 could increase consumption and the vehicle’s CO2 emissions
This last bit is not in the 07-2018 manual!
I'm guessing to help with the emissions they are using 0w-20?
According to Parkers, cars after 20/12/18 have a lower 1st years tax - https://www.parkers.co.uk/seat/leon/hatchback-2013/car-tax/ (search for Cupra).
