Engine oil OEM Audi or OEM Volkswagen
Reviews
Had a 2.0 Diesel Tiguan, same model as you. No oil consimption at all over 80.000 km.
Pros: no oil consumption
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
Mileage: 80000 km
Time to change the oil, anyway, at 3,867 mi. I do 5-6k on the regular, but would use this as an opportunity to change.
Vehicle:
Audi Q5
Mileage: 6223 km
I have an 2007 A4 2.0T base. I bought the car with 120k miles on it in 02/19. Yesterday I hit the 224k miles on it. She's my daily driver, over the years I have changed/did the engine oil every 4k miles, car filters all over, wheel alignment, tires, brake pads, rotors, and the battery. Nock on the wood, my baby have been taking car of me. I'm actually surprised that this model is solid af.
Pros: model is solid af
Vehicle:
Audi A4
Mileage: 360000 km
If you are using VW original oil then stick to it and the service interval. 15 years 229,000km later mine is going strong. I did mess up by doing service at 15k km all these years. Sticking to 12k is best. Instead try iftex system D. Makes a very noticeable difference. More important I feel is changing the air filter more often. And compulsorily changing diesel filter every year.
Pros: stick to service interval, air filter change often, diesel filter change yearly
Cons: mess up by doing service at 15k km
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Polo
Been running 87 and 5w 40 on my mk7.5 for the last 40k of ownership. She loves it, no tics stutters or hiccups at 65k miles.
Pros: no tics, no stutters
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 65000 km
as long as it meets the VW 508 00/509 00 specification, it'll be fine which I think is 0w-20 and I \\*think\\* 5w-20
don't go beyond that, while it \\*may\\* not fuck the engine up, those 1.4Ts are REALLY picky (I had one in my Jetta Hybrid and anything past 5w-20 and she was angry )
Pros: meets VW specification
Cons: engine is picky
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Vaguely remember having the oil and brake fluids changed for my 40k, and maybe a tire rotation.
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 40000 km
Eu 0w-30 folosesc la un golf 4 1.9tdi si sunt multumit, masina porneste foarte bine la frig, al meu drag motor mananca, si trebuie sa completez 100 ml la 5-600 km cv de genu.
Pros: porneste foarte bine la frig
Cons: motor mananca ulei
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Had a Q5 and it was a money pit. Oil Consumption got so bad I was putting in a quart every 400 miles.
Cons: oil consumption bad
Vehicle:

2015 Audi A3, new to me a year ago. One quart every 400 miles. First car I've ever owned that consumed this much oil. It's a nightmare!
