What type of engine oil is suitable for the Volkswagen Tiguan L?
1 Answers
For both the 1.4T and 2.0T models of the Volkswagen Tiguan L, the recommended engine oil type is 5W40. The functions of engine oil and the meaning of the letters in the oil type are as follows: Functions of engine oil: Engine oil serves to lubricate, clean, seal, cool, cushion, and prevent rust within the engine. Meaning of the letters in the oil type: The 'W' in the oil type stands for 'Winter,' indicating that the oil can be used normally in winter conditions. The number before the 'W' represents the oil's low-temperature flow performance: 0W means the oil can flow normally at -35°C, while 5W indicates normal flow at -30°C. The number after the 'W' represents the oil's high-temperature viscosity—the higher the number, the greater the viscosity.
