How much engine oil should be added to the Volkswagen Tayron?
2 Answers
Volkswagen Tayron requires 5.5 liters of engine oil, and the oil level should be between the min and max marks on the dipstick. Engine oil, also known as motor lubricant, serves to lubricate and reduce friction in the engine, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption. The dimensions of the Volkswagen Tayron are: length 4589mm, width 1860mm, height 1660mm, with a wheelbase of 2731mm and a fuel tank capacity of 60 liters. The Volkswagen Tayron is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 110kW and a maximum torque of 250Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. It features a front suspension type of MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension type of multi-link independent suspension.
My Tayron is equipped with a 2.0T engine, and the dealership usually adds 5.5 to 5.7 liters of oil during an oil change. They typically start by pouring a 4-liter jug, then open two 1-liter bottles to top it up gradually. After adding oil, remember to start the engine and let it run for a few minutes before turning it off and waiting ten minutes. Park the car on level ground and check the oil dipstick. The ideal oil level is slightly above the middle mark between the upper and lower limits. Overfilling can lead to oil burning and increased carbon buildup, while insufficient oil may cause inadequate lubrication and potential engine damage. Last time, my neighbor’s 1.4T Tayron only required 4.5 liters, showing a significant difference in oil demand between engine displacements. Be sure to use the correct oil type—Volkswagen engines are quite particular. Stick to VW50200-compliant 5W-40 or 0W-40 full synthetic oil.
