What type of engine oil should be used for the Tayron?
1 Answers
The Volkswagen Tayron 1.4T and 2.0T models both use 5W40 fully synthetic engine oil, with a replacement capacity of 4 liters. The recommended oil change interval is 10,000 kilometers. Relevant information is as follows: 1. Engine oil brands: If you primarily drive in urban areas, Shell engine oil is recommended due to its superior self-cleaning properties, which effectively remove engine carbon deposits. For frequent long-distance highway driving, Mobil engine oil is suggested for its excellent high-temperature resistance and stability. In northern regions, Castrol engine oil is preferable, as its Magnetec and Edge technologies provide superior protection for engine components. 2. Oil viscosity: First, select the appropriate quality grade, then choose the required viscosity grade. The primary criterion for viscosity selection should be the recommendation in the vehicle's manual, supplemented by considerations such as the vehicle's age and local temperature. The quality grade should be determined based on factors like engine operating conditions, severity of use, oil capacity, compression ratio, and fuel type. 3. Oil grade: Higher-grade engine oils should be selected despite their slightly higher cost, as they offer better overall economic benefits. These include extended oil change intervals, improved fuel efficiency, reduced friction and wear, prolonged component lifespan, and lower maintenance costs.
