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.
Pros: thin oil, VW special
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
Im replacing mine soon...though since switching to 5-40 oil (as per recent VW specs) my oil consumption is far less than before.
Pros: oil consumption far less

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.
Pros: 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.
Pros: grateful for sharing them
Cons: 1 qt decrease in capacity
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I had the same problem with my 99.5 VR. I now use 5-50, problem solved.
Pros: problem solved
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Given that it's almost guaranteed that this was not a turbo engine originally (the lack of factory air filter is another clue) she'll run hotter than usual and so a quality oil is a good investment.
Pros: quality oil is a good investment
Cons: run hotter than usual
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
