The 2018 Skoda Octavia oil change interval is every 15,000 km (≈ 9,500 mi) or 12 months, whichever comes first. Fixed service (QI4): oil and filter every 15,000 km or 1 year, whichever comes first. With the flexible LongLife service (QI6) the service display calls the oil change, at the latest after 30,000 km or 2 years, and only the prescribed LongLife oil may be used; a Škoda partner can switch a car between fixed and flexible service. Depending on the car, a shorter fixed interval of 5,000, 7,500 or 10,000 km or 1 year (QI1 to QI3) may be set; the code is printed on the vehicle data sticker. CNG (G-TEC) versions always use the fixed interval. The separate inspection service is due first after 30,000 km or 2 years, then every 30,000 km or 1 year. Under difficult conditions (fuel containing sulphur, frequent short trips, long idling, heavy dust, frequent towing, mostly stop-and-go traffic, mostly winter use) Škoda says service work may be needed between the normal intervals; diesel run on high-sulphur fuel needs an oil change every 7,500 km.
