36k miles and still not burning a drop between 10k OCI's. I use VW 0W-20 Full Syn 508/509 spec each and every time, until mobil1 releases a Full Syn clone. Noticed a "slight" increase in MPG's with the newer oil.
After reading this thread I decided to check the paperwork on my oil change that I got from a dealer last week. All it says is 6 G-E60-020-1B-DSP ENG. OIL Net 7.80 Total 46.80 which I assume means the "6" is the quantity. As far as I can tell, that part number equals VW 508.00 Spec oil. My car is a 2019 1.8L and the label under the hood clearly says 502 or 504 oil is required.
Its not uncommon for a new Tiguan to use oil. The new oil is really thin. It is VW special,you might as well go to the dealer and purchase a quart.
Im replacing mine soon...though since switching to 5-40 oil (as per recent VW specs) my oil consumption is far less than before.
Once the oil temp reads the temp number, you're all set to do what you please.
My Mk4 Golf is at 146000. And I've religiously changed oil and filter every 4000. One time I let this synthetic oil go for 9000 miles, it caused pre-ignition and destroyed 2 sparkplugs, needed a tow, and a expensive sparkplug replace at VW.
I've changed my TDI's oil every 10K miles since it was new. It currently has 330K miles on it and runs like a watch.
I've been using these docs for a while now, and am incredibly grateful for you sharing them. With that said, I just noticed something that's news to me. Both the \"Revised Oil Capacity Job Aid\" and the 2012 vs 2013 fluid capacity charts show a 1 qt decrease in engine oil capacity between 2012 and 2013 MY. I've always heard there were insignificant, minor changes between the model years. I've been putting 5ish into my 2012 and it's always been full according to the dipstick.
I had the same problem with my 99.5 VR. I now use 5-50, problem solved.
Well, just got back the test results on for our oil analysis, here are the comments: " Nothing showed up in this sample that's too much of a surprise, though aluminum and copper are perhaps a little higher than expected. New parts wearing in tend to leave a lot of metal in the oil and that's what we suspect is going on here. You ran this oil pretty long for factory oil (we realize you were probably only following the oil life monitor). So that's why aluminum and copper are on the high side. No matter--everything should improve now that you've changed this fill. The TBN read 1.9, getting low but still okay. Potassium is from the EGR system. "
