The 2009 Volkswagen Tiguan is equipped with a 2.0 L 4-cylinder engine that requires either 5W-40 or 5W-30 synthetic motor oil. The vehicle can hold up to 4.9 quarts of oil with a filter, and the drain plug should be torqued to 22 ft/lbs. Oil plays a crucial role in maintaining engine cleanliness, promoting smooth operation, and reducing friction between engine components. Over time, oil deteriorates, necessitating periodic replacement. For the Tiguan, oil changes should be performed every 10,000 miles or annually, along with replacing the filter simultaneously. Expect to pay around $50 to $60 in labor expenses if the maintenance is carried out by a professional mechanic.
