1.8t Magotan requires 4.5 liters of engine oil. Here is additional information about adding engine oil: 1. When adding engine oil, ensure the oil level is between the min and max marks on the dipstick. Otherwise, it may affect the normal operation of the engine. If the oil level is below the min mark, it can impair engine lubrication; if the oil level is above the max mark, it may impact engine power output and fuel economy. 2. Method for checking the oil level: After adding the oil, start the vehicle and then turn it off. Wait for 3 minutes before checking the oil level. This is because the oil filter needs to be replaced along with the oil, and the new oil filter initially contains no oil. Starting the vehicle allows oil to flow into the filter. Waiting for 3 minutes ensures the oil drains back into the oil pan, providing a more accurate measurement.

I've been driving a Volkswagen Magotan 1.8T model for several years, and each oil change requires approximately 4.5 liters of fully synthetic oil, including the replacement of the oil filter. In practice, I slowly add oil up to the 4.5-liter mark because too much oil can overload the engine, leading to oil leaks or turbocharger damage, while too little oil can cause insufficient lubrication and increased wear. Remember to check the dipstick when the engine is cold to ensure the oil level is between the min and max marks. Regular oil changes every 5,000-10,000 kilometers can protect the engine's lifespan, especially since this 1.8T engine has high oil quality requirements. I recommend using Volkswagen-certified 5W-40 oil, which performs well under high temperatures and vibrations. Regularly check the oil pressure indicator and address any abnormalities promptly—these small habits can save a lot on repair costs.

As a technician working in an auto repair shop, I have handled numerous maintenance orders for the Magotan 1.8T. Official data typically recommends an oil fill volume between 4.3-4.5 liters, covering oil pan draining and filter replacement. In actual operations, I prefer to completely drain the old oil before refilling, adding approximately 4.5 liters to ensure safety, as residual old oil can affect accuracy. Using qualified oil viscosity such as 5W-30, which meets the VW502 standard. After filling, start the engine and let it run for a few minutes, then check the oil level again after cooling and adjust if necessary to avoid electrical faults or high fuel consumption caused by overfilling. Regular oil changes can extend engine life and save owners long-term maintenance costs.

As a new driver, I just got a Magotan 1.8T and checked the user manual, which states that 4.5 liters of oil is required for an oil change. I bought a 5-liter bottle of synthetic oil and added about 4.5 liters during my DIY oil change, keeping the remaining half bottle as a spare. Replacing the oil filter is a crucial step. Check the oil level with the dipstick when the engine is cold, and top up if it's too low. During my first oil change, I overfilled it, triggering the oil pressure warning, but removing the excess restored smooth operation. Regular maintenance helps prevent unexpected issues and is easy to learn.
