How many liters of engine oil does the Touareg V6 require?
1 Answers
Touareg V6 requires 7 liters of engine oil. The recommended oil specifications for Volkswagen Touareg are 0W30 or 0W40, and 5W30 or 5W40 specifications can also be used. The choice of oil specification can be determined based on the weather conditions of the driving environment. The viscosity of engine oil changes with temperature, so special attention should be paid to its performance under low and high temperatures. For example, in 5W-30, the first number indicates low-temperature fluidity, with 5W representing the ability to withstand temperatures as low as -30°C. The smaller this number, the better the low-temperature fluidity, resulting in smoother cold starts for the car. The latter number represents the kinematic viscosity of the oil at 100°C. A higher value means the oil can maintain its viscosity index better at high temperatures, which can also be understood as better lubrication performance under high-temperature conditions. The method for changing the engine oil in the Touareg V6 is as follows: Wait for the engine temperature to drop, allowing the oil to flow back into the oil pan; Use a wrench to loosen the oil drain plug and place an oil pan to catch the old oil until no more oil flows out. Start the engine for 30 seconds to allow the oil in the main oil passage to drain; Use a special wrench to remove the oil filter; Apply oil to the seal of the new oil filter and tighten it clockwise by hand; Add the new oil through the oil filler cap on the engine valve cover, generally filling about three-quarters of the oil container; Start the engine and let it run for 5 minutes, checking for any oil leaks around the oil drain plug and oil filter. If leaks are found, repairs should be made; After stopping the engine, pull out the oil dipstick to check that the engine oil level is within the standard range.
