The 2009 Volkswagen Tiguan is equipped with a 2.0 L 4-cylinder engine that needs around 4.9 quarts of oil along with a filter change. The recommended oil types for this SUV are 5W-40 or 5W-30 synthetic oil, suitable for all temperatures. Volkswagen advises changing the oil either every 10,000 miles or annually, depending on which comes first. Expect to pay around $10 per quart, totaling about $49 for a full refill. Taking the Tiguan to a professional mechanic for an oil change can cost between $50 and $60 in labor. However, it's not too difficult to perform the oil change yourself within 5 to 25 minutes. You'll need tools like a drain pan, filter, gloves, ratchet, and socket to complete the task.
The 2009 VW Tiguan requires SAE 0W-40 full synthetic motor oil that is specifically formulated for optimal high performance.
