► Keeping up with your oil change interval is a crucial step in maintaining your Volkswagen Tiguan. If you have an oil service light on in your Tiguan, now is the time to get that oil changed and that service light reset. In this video, Nate Vincent takes you through the steps required to change the oil on these newer generation EA888 engines as well as explains the changes that Volkswagen made in switching to this new oil weight. From draining the oil, to swapping out the oil filter, to resetting the service light - we have you covered.

@tomdolgin5441 2 жыл бұрын

@@1state152 It makes no difference. TSI stands for Turbo Stratified Injection and TFSI stands for Turbo Fuel Stratified Injection. There is NO difference. They both mean the same thing. VW uses “TSI” and Audi uses “TFSI” on their engine covers. They are literally the same exact thing. I’m sure the companies wanted to differentiate the two brands even down to what’s on the engine covers so that people don’t think that they are the same exact thing, even though they are. Hope that makes some sense. It’s just marketing. To confuse you even more, the MKV VW 2.0T engine covers used to say “FSI” for Fuel Stratified Injection. Those are the same exact thing too. LOL.

Also, have the alternator clutch pulleys been known to fail early, also throwing oil? Found some build up on my radiator's plastic end tank, which is in-line with this pulley. Lastly, VW updated their warranty once again, now to only 4y/50k miles? Or is it still 6y/72k? Thanks for all the videos you guys produce. Helps a lot!

My VW dealer dumped 5W40 Castrol in my car for its 10k service, as written on the invoice. When I questioned them about it, they said it is fine and it can be used. I’ve noticed my 2021 Tiguan runs smoother with the 5W40, but the gas mileage has plummeted. Will this caus significant damage to the engine? I do my own oil changes every 5k with VW 508/509 0W20 OEM oil I buy from another dealer. What do you suggest I do about the 5W40 that’s in there now. There’s only about 2,500 miles left on the 5k service until I hit 15k. I already bought the 6 quarts of 508/509 0W20 oil, filter, and drain plug for the 15k service. Should I just wait until then or do the service now and then just let the oil go 7500 miles until the 20k service, which I’ll be doing at a different dealer that actually uses the VW Spec 508/509 0W20 oil? Thanks in advance. Great video!!!

@fcpeuro 2 жыл бұрын

We would suggest removing the 5w40 and replacing it with the recommended 0W20, this is a pretty specific requirement for the new EA888 VW engines and it's best to use what its been tested and engineered to use. If you purchase the oil change through our site (with Genuine Oil or our Preferred Liqui Moly like in the video) then dont forget its also covered by our lifetime replacement grantee! Essentially giving you and your car free oil changes for life every 5k or so miles.

I did my own changes every 5k in between the free oil changes the dealer gave. For break in period, check your manual and ask the dealer. There might be another oil change recommended early on.

My 2019 Arteon does also. Not much, just bring it up from low to mid a couple of times per year.

The new one will fail with time, so I'm waiting and getting the factory one replaced later. Who knows, maybe the new ones will actually fix the issue.
