Best Engine oil for Volkswagen Tiguan
The 2020 has been great but the engine still clacked and groan albeit nowhere near the 19. With the 0.5 quart of Castrol 5W50 I love the car now! Pickup is great and the engine being pettier seems to help the transmission shift better also.
Pros: quieter engine, great pickup
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
I've been using Leichtlauf High Tech and its been working great, Just make sure it has the right approval and change it every 5k miles.
Pros: working great

My oil cap says Castrol only, which is what my husband uses. We change the oil every 5000 miles using Castrol full synthetic.
Pros: full synthetic
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
Mileage: 15000 km
I happen to use Castrol in all my gasoline powered vehicles and have had no oil related issues. Given that VW promoted Castrol and, more importantly, that I prefer Castrol in general, I’m staying with Castrol when I can... I've had no oil loss in the Tig with Castrol and see no reason to switch to a different brand just because some MBAhole behind a desk made a profit driven decision to switch suppliers.
Pros: no oil related issues, no oil loss

Volkswagen Tiguan
Edge Professional 508 is excellent, however, I have to agree with @VWmechatronic , the Mobil 1 sourced stuff is top notch. Almost 5K on mine and level on dipstick has not moved.
Pros: top notch, level has not moved
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
Mileage: 8047 km
Our Tig is coming up on it's 4th change (every 5K) and hasn't lost any significant amount between changes. So far all changes have been the 508 spec Castrol 0w20.
Pros: hasn't lost significant amount

I recently switched from Liqui Moly to Amsoil recently, my wife's Tiguan seems to run a little smoother and is noticeably quieter at idle with the 5-40 European car formula.
Pros: smoother run, quieter idle

Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
