Volkswagen Tiguan Oil Type

Are you planning to perform a Volkswagen Tiguan oil change at home? You’ll need to gather some supplies, including the correct Volkswagen Tiguan oil type. While this can vary depending on your model, the team at Lafayette Volkswagen has more information on the recommended oil for a Volkswagen Tiguan below. As always, please don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions.

Recommended Oil For the VW Tiguan

The recommended oil for the VW Tiguan has a viscosity of 5W-30. This is actually one of the most popular types of oil, so it’s likely to be carried at your local auto parts store in Indianapolis or Avon. However, you can also visit our service department to get a quart as well. If you’re still not sure of the VW Tiguan oil type, you can always visit our service team to have this done for you by our highly-trained technicians.

When to Perform a Volkswagen Tiguan Oil Change

The Volkswagen Tiguan oil change schedule can vary depending on the model year and trim of your Tiguan, so you should always consult your owner’s manual for specifics. On average, however, you should perform a Volkswagen Tiguan oil change every 5,000 miles. 

While vehicles can go anywhere between 7,000-10,000 miles between oil changes, the Tiguan is a heavier SUV, so it’s best to have it done every 5,000-7,000 miles. How often you need oil changes will also depend on your driving habits. For instance, if you tow heavy loads, drive commercially, or frequently drive off-road, we recommend you get in touch with your mechanic, so they can develop a custom schedule for you!
