How much engine oil should be added to the Tiguan 1.8T?
1 Answers
Tiguan 1.8T generally requires approximately 4.5 to 5 liters of engine oil. Below are some precautions regarding engine oil addition: 1. The amount of engine oil to be added is determined by the markings on the dipstick. Whether changing or topping up the oil, the level should not exceed the upper limit on the dipstick. The dipstick has three markings: the bottom one indicates the oil has reached the lower limit and needs to be replenished, the middle one shows the oil level is normal, and the top one is the upper limit beyond which no more oil should be added. 2. Engine oil significantly impacts the normal performance and lifespan of the engine, so it is essential to strictly follow the vehicle's user manual to select the same series, grade, and viscosity of oil. The oil specified in the manual is based on the engine's performance and the regional temperature where the car is sold, providing a reliable guideline for oil selection to ensure high safety. If the oil specifications in the manual are not followed and engine failure occurs, warranty claims may not be honored during the engine's warranty period. 3. During the oil addition process, the oil level should be maintained between the upper and lower marks on the dipstick. Excessive oil can lead to carbon buildup.
