Oil for the TIguan

[Guest001]

Have been reading the maintenance manual and it writes about a new oil for Tgs being 508/509 spec.

Anyone ever heard of it at all.

Then goes on to list 504/507 for most motors.

Ive got a few packs of that so hope its not wasted

I use Total oils and the rep informed me about the new spec almost 12months ago. It’s 0W20 oil, probably purely developed to further improve fuel economy. I’d stick with the 507.00 5W30 oil where possible.

Yeah says it was developed with that in mind. Havent seen it mentioned anywhere and probably have to put the wife on a street corner to help pay for it

More likely to meet emissions/new WLTP testing, but don't want to open up that can of worms...

Yeah says better fuel consumption and less CO2 emissions

[Transporter]

Yeah, these 2 always go hand in hand.

0w-20 makes sense for North American and Northern European winters at -15 to -30 celsius but can you imagine how watery it would be in a QLD or outback summer?

IIRC Hondas wanted 0w-20 when they first went v-tec and soon changed it to 5w-30 for warm climates...

How often do folks too up their oil?
I just whacked in about 1L after 10,000k

On my two I have never added oil between services EVER

0w-** is commonly used in Australia.

Oil warning light came on.
Checked the dipstick and it was at the low end
So stuck in some oil until she was about 2/3rds in the "zone" on the dipstick

[Beedub]

I'm just over 7K and checked the dipstick out of curiosity and I'm sitting on the low end.

Haven't thrashed it enough, ours is dead smack in the middle at 12k kms.

And I drive it hard, 2nd fuel tank launched it, 3rd fuel tank too Old Pacific Hwy and chased my mates S13 and a few Chasers.

Kisses the red line most times I drive it.
