1.5L displacement requires 4 liters, 2.0L requires 5 liters, and 2.5L requires 6 liters. The specific methods for checking a car's fuel tank capacity and the calculation units for fuel tank capacity are introduced as follows: Methods for checking a car's fuel tank capacity: Check through the owner's manual. The car manual can be considered a comprehensive guide, containing detailed information about the vehicle, from maintenance cycles to fuel tank capacity. Owners can refuel based on this capacity, and it is best not to exceed the safe capacity. Fuel tank capacity calculation units: International standards use liters (L) as the unit for calculating car fuel tank capacity. Different countries also have corresponding standards for car fuel tank capacity. In China, the fuel tank capacity is regulated to be 95% of the rated value, but the actual capacity is generally larger than the nominal capacity, depending on the actual situation.
When I first started driving the Tiguan L, I was particularly confused about how much engine oil to add. I asked the mechanics at the repair shop, and they said that based on the common design of the 2.0T engine, it usually requires around 4.5 to 5 liters, but they emphasized that I must check the vehicle manual or the oil dipstick to confirm. Adding too much oil can cause it to overflow from the engine compartment, leading to leaks and even damaging parts; adding too little results in insufficient lubrication, causing wear and tear. Every time I change the oil, I make sure to park on level ground and let the car cool down. After adding the oil, I start the engine and let it run for a few minutes before turning it off to check the oil level. The oil level on the dipstick should be in the middle range for optimal safety. I recommend that car owners use the oil recommended by the manufacturer during regular maintenance and check the oil level at least every 5,000 kilometers. This helps prevent malfunctions and extends the vehicle's lifespan. Developing good habits from the moment you buy a new car ensures peace of mind and safety. Remember, improper oil levels not only increase fuel consumption but may also trigger a chain of problems—don’t take it lightly.
