Each variant of the 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan comes with the same 2.0L 4Cylinder engine, so selecting an appropriate oil type and knowing the capacity is a breeze. No matter which trim level You're running, You'll always take 6.0 quarts of SAE 0W-20 full synthetic motor oil. In its absence, it's possible to substitute SAE 5W-20 over the short term, but this is not recommended if it's avoidable. It's recommended against because the higher the numbers, the thicker the oil. Over time, this can cause added friction, which leads to more wear and tear. Sooner or later, Your engine will suffer a premature "death", so it's always recommended You use the engine oil with the lowest numbers in its weight that's recommended by Your manufacturer, even if it costs a few dollars more per change.
