I've used a bunch of different oils including Castrol Edge, Amsoil, Valvoline, Mobil 1, and Liqui Moly. All Euro spec. All 5W-40.

I was trying different oils because our Tiguan burns oil, and I wanted to see if any particular brand would burn less.

So far, Mobil 1 Euro 5W-40 burns about half a liter every 1000 miles, while all the others burned about 800 mL. So I'm sticking with that oil for now.

Pros: burns less oil

Cons: null

Vehicle: Volkswagen Tiguan

Mileage: 1609 km

AMSOIL › Engine oil

Being an AMSOIL dealer and my enthusiast knowledge of vehicles (not a master by any means), I would say that the consumption is very normal due to the very thin viscosity of 0w-20 oil.

Pros: consumption is very normal

Cons: thin viscosity of 0w-20

Vehicle: Volkswagen Tiguan

Engine noise:

Valvoline is ok, but that specific oil does not have the rating required for your vehicle. AMSOIL has by far better additives to clean/restore the engine. If you are currently using AMSOIL, then continue using it.

Pros: better additives, clean/restore engine

Cons: does not have rating

Warning light:

amazon.ca has Liqui moly TOP TEC 6200 SAE0W-20, VW508 00/509 00. Been using this since day 1 on my 2021 Tiguan with no issue.

Pros: no issues

Cons: price is not cheap

Vehicle: Volkswagen Tiguan

LIQUI MOLY › Engine oil

I buy Liqui Moly 6200 from germanparts.ca for about $70/5L. Our Tiguan consumes a lot of oil sadly, so I buy a lot of it. My mechanic recently recommended using Liquid Moly 2331 (Leichtlauf) 5W40 to see if it helps with oil consumption, and have had that in for the last month or so.

Cons: high oil consumption

Vehicle: Volkswagen Tiguan

I have a 22 Tiguan and did the first oil change myself around 5K miles. This is what I ended up using. I found it locally so that was a plus, Mobil 1™ ESP X2 0W-20 .

Pros: found it locally

The oil i have run: VW brand, Castrol and Ravenol all 0w-20 that meets 508/509. Basically on cooler outside temperatures the oil does run slightly higher than on hotter days.
