I've been driving a Volkswagen Tiguan L for several years. Every time I get it serviced, I make sure to watch the technician add engine oil. They say the standard amount is around 5.5 liters, but the exact quantity should be confirmed with the manual, as the 1.4T engine might use 5.3 liters, while the 2.0T engine could take up to 5.7 liters. When doing it yourself, don't guess—buy certified bottled oil and slowly add it until it reaches the middle mark on the dipstick. Checking when the engine is cold gives the most accurate reading. Too little oil increases engine wear, while too much can cause sealing issues or waste oil, affecting fuel consumption. Change the oil regularly along with the filter, doing it every 8,000 kilometers to prevent carbon buildup and extend the car's lifespan. Check the oil level before long highway drives to ensure safe driving. A money-saving tip is to stock up on large packs of synthetic oil—good quality and cost-effective.
