Best Engine oil for Volkswagen Tiguan

Its not uncommon for a new Tiguan to use oil. The new oil is really thin. It is VW special,you might as well go to the dealer and purchase a quart.

I feel like the engine sounds a lot better, and feels better running 4200 vs 6200, both of which are VW spec oils...

It worth looking at Total Quartz Ineo Long Life 0W-20, complies with VW 508 00. It will be my pick for my 2019 Tiguan 2.0 TSI EA888 gen3-B V100 = 8.1 V40= 40 VI= 183 Pour Point = -66 C

after 1k of changing my oil I have to say the Liqui_moly remains pretty clear compared to when I used Castrol.

at 30K and third oil change @ 10K, my oil analysis went to the waste oil furnace, it said the oil was perfect. First change @10K was Castrol 0W40, last two were Mobil 1 0W40.

Completed my first oil change at 5k miles with Redline 0w20 and a Mann filter.

I just stick to LiquidMoly. It's been in there since I bought it and the difference of $20 bucks over the course of 10K miles isn't that big of a concern. It's worth the slight piece of mind.

So did the oil change today. Mobil 1 0w-40, changed the filter as well, after about 20 miles I can sense a bit more smoothness and slightly better throttle response as compared to whatever else was there.

I use to use Castrol Syntec 5W40 (what the tig came with) and all I could get here. Last spring I opened my own shop and can get Kendall 5W40 Euro and started using that as it is 502 approved. I found it made the engine run smoother and quieter. My customers have noted the same.

Have my best experience with Castrol 0W30 (European $8.99/qt) Minimal lifter noise and run it 5k between changes. Also, use OEM oil filters.
