What kind of engine oil does the Tharu use?

[DelJack]

The Tharu uses 5W40 engine oil. The functions of engine oil are: 1. Reducing friction and high temperatures; 2. Cooling and lowering temperature; 3. Cleaning and purifying; 4. Shock absorption and cushioning; 5. Rust and corrosion prevention. The Volkswagen Tharu is a compact 5-door, 5-seat SUV with body dimensions of 4453mm in length, 1841mm in width, and 1632mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2680mm. The Volkswagen Tharu is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, delivering a maximum power of 110 kW and a maximum torque of 250 Nm. It features front-wheel drive, with a front suspension using MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension using multi-link independent suspension.

I've driven the Tharu for five years and recommend using VW 502 or 504 certified engine oil, such as 0W-20 or 5W-30 full synthetic oil, depending on the model year and engine. The new owner's manual will specify the viscosity in detail; for example, the 2022 model uses 0W-20 for better fuel efficiency. Don't use regular oil casually, as it can lead to engine wear or carbon buildup. In terms of brands, synthetic oils from Castrol or Mobil are good choices, with regular changes every 8,000 kilometers. I've also noticed much smoother starts in winter. If unsure, consult the 4S店 to avoid warranty issues, as this protects the engine's long-term performance.

As a DIY oil change enthusiast, I use Mobil 1 5W-30 with VW certification that matches the engine requirements of the Tharu. During the change, warm up the car for a few minutes first, drain the old oil into an oil pan, remove the old filter and install a new one, then add new oil up to the midpoint on the dipstick. Simple tools are needed: just a wrench and a funnel. The replacement interval is every 7,500 kilometers or once a year, saving on maintenance costs while keeping familiar with the car's condition. Additionally, using the wrong oil viscosity may increase noise; choosing synthetic oil offers better durability and prevents overheating on long trips. Remember to check for leaks after the change to keep the engine running quietly and efficiently.

Want to enhance the driving performance of your Tharu? Using high-quality engine oil is key! I insist on using 0W-20 full synthetic oil with VW certification, which reduces resistance and makes acceleration more responsive. On the highway, the engine temperature remains stable, preventing knocking. Synthetic oil brands like Shell V-Power are highly effective, and regular changes reduce wear and maintain horsepower. Don't overlook oil quality—aged oil affects efficiency.
