Should the Tiguan L use 5W30 or 0W40?
1 Answers
The Tiguan L should use 0W40. The Volkswagen Tiguan L manual recommends engine oil of the SL5W40 grade, so 0W40 is more suitable for the Tiguan L. Any engine oil of the same specification can be used, which belongs to semi-synthetic oil, while full synthetic oil offers better quality. Full synthetic oil has excellent oxidation stability and is less prone to sludge formation at high temperatures, protecting the turbocharger bearings and extending the turbocharger's lifespan. Full synthetic oil also has superior cleaning properties, keeping the engine cylinder block cleaner. Developing good driving habits is also an important factor in extending the turbo's lifespan. The Tiguan L has a body length of 4712mm, width of 1839mm, height of 1673mm, and a wheelbase of 2791mm.
