Each 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan variant is equipped with the same 2.0L 4-cylinder engine, making it easy to choose the right oil type and know the correct capacity. Whether you have a base model or an upgraded trim, you will always require 6.0 quarts of SAE 0W-20 full synthetic motor oil. While using SAE 5W-20 as a substitute in the short term is possible, it is not advised unless necessary. Opting for a higher number in oil viscosity can increase friction over time, leading to accelerated wear and tear on your engine. To prevent premature engine failure, it is recommended to stick with the manufacturer-recommended oil with the lowest viscosity rating, even if it means spending a bit more per oil change.
