Nothing wrong with Shell Helix Ultra Extra, you can use it as complete fill.

I've changed the oil in my 118TSI and it is a straight forward procedure, however I advise that you pay the fee and download the correct procedure and torque settings from erwin as you are going to have to do it 'by the book'. A few things to watch out for:
1) Use a torque wrench for the filter and sump plug - don't guess.
2) Use the correct adaptor for the oil filter (correct diameter and number of flutes)
3) Use a replacement sump plug washer.
4) The 118TSI has the oil filter inverted compared to many engines which is great because it is accessed from above, however it leads to the possibility of oil from the filter ending up in your alternator and alternator drive belt.
5) With the filter removed foreign material can drop down into where the filter screws on. If this happens on the outlet side of the filter it could block oil passages and damage the motor.
6) As others have mentioned make sure you use a 504.00 spec oil.
It's a simple procedure for someone with mechanical experience but still has potential for the in-experienced to stuff it up with consequences ranging from oil leaks to stripped threads or a seized motor in the worst case scenario so if in doubt - don't.2018 Tiguan 110TSI Comfortline + DAPComment
