What does original paint mean?

Original version refers to the fact that the vehicle's body panels have not been replaced for any reason, meaning all the body panels are factory-original. Original paint means that no part of the vehicle's body has undergone any repainting, whether full or partial repainting. Original paint, also known as lead paint, is made by grinding and mixing pigments (white lead powder) with drying oil (linseed oil). It requires the addition of fish oil, solvents, and other diluents before use. This type of paint has a soft film, excellent adhesion to topcoats, strong coverage, and is the lowest-grade oil-based paint. It is suitable for low-demand construction projects or pipe joints and is widely used as a primer for wooden objects, as well as for mixing oil stains and putty. When washing the car, it should be done after the engine has cooled down. Avoid washing the vehicle under direct sunlight or high temperatures to prevent the cleaning agent from drying and leaving marks. For regular DIY car washing, use specialized detergents and neutral water. Avoid using highly alkaline detergents like laundry powder, soap water, or dishwashing liquid, as they can strip the protective oils from the paint and accelerate its aging.

What is the original engine oil model for the Tiguan L?

The original engine oil model for the Tiguan L is 5W-40 or 0W-40 full synthetic oil. Any oil model that meets these two specifications can be used. If you want to change the oil during later maintenance, you can choose brands such as Shell, Mobil, Castrol, or Total. The viscosity of engine oil changes with temperature, so special attention should be paid to its performance under low and high temperatures. For example, in 5W-30, the first number indicates low-temperature fluidity. 5W means it can withstand low temperatures of -30°C. The smaller this number, the better the low-temperature fluidity, making cold starts smoother. The latter number represents the kinematic viscosity of the oil at 100°C. The higher the value, the better it maintains viscosity under high temperatures, which can also be understood as better lubrication performance under high-temperature conditions. The method for changing the oil in the Tiguan L is as follows: Wait for the engine temperature to drop, allowing the oil to flow back into the oil pan; Use a wrench to loosen the oil drain plug and place an oil pan to catch the old oil until no more oil flows out. Start the engine and let it run for 30 seconds to allow the oil in the main oil passage to drain; Use a special wrench to remove the oil filter; Apply oil to the seal of the new oil filter and tighten it clockwise by hand; Add the new oil through the oil filler cap on the engine valve cover. Generally, pour about three-quarters of a bottle; Start the engine and let it run for 5 minutes, checking for any leaks around the oil drain plug and oil filter. If leaks are found, perform necessary repairs; After stopping the engine, pull out the oil dipstick to check if the engine oil level is within the standard range.
