2019 VW Tiguan 162TSI Rline - what is the best Engine Oil for top ups ?

[iDiesel]

The one thats half price is a 502/505 A3 B4 grade oil for petrol engines OR Diesels WITHOUT a DPF as per here

sorry, yes you are right. That’s not the one I bought

So which one did you get for half price I got the correct stuff but was due to someone stuffing up an ad on the net but they honoured it for me

Make sure it has LL at the end of the viscosity rating as these cars do have a long service interval.

The ones you've listed aren't the correct oils as they aren't VW504 / VW507 compliant. They're VW502 / VW505.


The below is the one that's correct for our cars, albeit it says diesel.

Castrol Edge Diesel DPF Engine Oil - 5W-30 LL 5 Litre | Supercheap Auto


I actually bought Penrite Enviro+ 5W30 for my next oil change, I'm a bit of a Penrite fan

You are incorrect read what it says in the link, as Professional III is what the dealers use and is a 504/507 grade and IS APPROVED by VW and VW vehicles in AUS are NOT on a longlife service plan They are ALL 12 months or 15,000km whichever is first. I also doubt that oil being available in any shop as in 8 years I have only ever seen it available at a dealers at $93 for 5 L

Its not so much the brand as the correct type and viscosity that matters

However I agree with using Penrite as mine have been on it since new 8 years ago

Yes I am very aware of that

The Skyline gets 15W50, but it has had its rings gapped at 0.005 for both rings.

Shetbox Tiguan gets 5W30 as that's what it takes for now, until the motor gets sloppy then it's 40 weight.
