Amazing, the oil filter just on top of the car! Toyotas and Nissans have their filters hidden underneath the engine and with their new filter canister - it takes more time and its such a hassle to change it!
Currently shopping for a car and I'm looking for the serviceability. My worry is that the top cover and uses plastic keepers, not sure how long those keepers will last. I hope there are screws to fasten that plastic cover. Second is the oil filter plastic housing. And will a fumoto valve work as a substitute for a drain plug valve?
I concur with those who say use a VW 508 spec 0w20 only here, not the black-jug Castrol dexos1 0w20 seen in the video. Your engine will barely know the difference though! Mainly "safe" to use VW 508 over the long 6-year engine warranty for sure, just in case a warranty claim is made on the engine. I think the best VW 508 oil out there is Mobil1 ESP x2 0w20 (Suncoast Porsche internet source in the U.S.), since it not only passes all the VW 508 engine tests but ALSO piles on more torture-testing in the form of Mercedes 229.71, GM dexosD, & Jaguar-LandRover too. Castrol VW 508 is very decent though, and for my first oil change, I'm getting an oil change kit with that from ECS Tuning (internet shippped), including the drain plug & Mann HU6013Z oil filter.
I think if you care about your engine your better of doing full synthetic oil changes more often like every 5000km or every year which ever comes first instead of worrying what brand your putting in. Obviously make sure you put in the create weight.
@@samiseries6295 VW508 is not an oil brand, but rather a specification designed to work for this vehicle’s engine and emission system. This is described in the owner’s manual you show in the video. Many oil manufacturers make oils meeting the VW508 spec, including Castrol, but it doesn’t come in the black jug you show in the video.
@@PonderingOne Plus to keep that 6 year warranty in place, you must buy the oil and filter at VW, or have the VW dealer do the oil change. After the warranty is over, you can use the black jug Castrol but MUST change the oil every 5k miles. The main differences between oil types is the additive package which allows the 10K oil change interval.
@@Johnny847 This is not accurate for the US. You can keep your warranty intact if you use the correct spec oil (VW508 in this case), and you maintain records (receipts, service dates and odometer readings). You can buy the oil online or at auto part stores, or the dealer. I would continue to use the spec oil after warranty. Not that much more expensive.

@Byron Harlem Thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and im in the hacking process now. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
The 20 vs 30 is just the grade at operating temperatures. 40 is a higher viscosity. Your area might be more hot in the summer compared to mine. Follow the manual.
Excellent point. If there is any engine component damage or other issue and the VW technician pulls the dipstick and it's not the 508 spec dyed oil, they will certainly deny any warranty coverage. Being a 6 year/72K mile warranty, I sure wouldn't take the risk of using a non-spec oil. I've read that the 508 oil is extremely tough, especially for a 0W20.
If you get a vacuum oil suction tool with tube that goes down dipstick hole, you can change oil without getting under vehicle since the oil filter is on top. No mess, do it in street clothes
VW 508/509 is just VW branded 0w-20 Full Synthetic engine oil. If you remove filter before drain plug all the oil from the filter will leak all over your engine. To let air in I loosened my engine oil fill cap.
You had been doing an execellent job until you poured the wrong motor oil in your engine, which pretty much makes everything you did in vain. Not all 0W20 oils meet VW's 508 spec.
@@samiseries6295 For late-model Tiguan engines, VW recommends 0W-20 oil that meets VW 508.00 specification. That is currently "Castrol Edge Professional Long Life", and NOT the regular "Castrol Edge" that can be found at local discount stores. Your video appears to show the wrong oil type. . . If you choose not to use oil that meets VW 508.00 specification and have a major engine issue, then VW might reject your warranty claim because of this. Over a decade ago, Audi and VW initially rejected many warranty claims regarding engine sludge build-up because owners either did not follow the service interval or used the wrong oil spec. Now it is much easier for VW to tell when the correct or incorrect type of fluid has been used because of the green color/dye in VW 508.00 rated oils.
@@samiseries6295 On the exact page of the manual you show at 4:43 it states that the approved engine oil specification is VW 508 00. In the manual notice you show at the same time stamp it states that you are limited to 1/2 quart of non-spec oil in case of an emergency.
This is literally the best instructional video I've ever seen. You did an awesome job! Thanks!
Outstanding video, no nonsense to the point!
Really nice video! Wish more like this on UA-cam about exactly this car. Bc I have the same

Thanks!! Did my first oil change on my 19 Tiguan with your help👍🏽👍🏽
Can someone please explain why some of the same engines 2.0 tsi have a filter housing with rod and some without rod? which is newer? thanks
Thank you for sharing the video. Please provide the name of the music that starts at 2.39. Thank you.
Autozone says filter is not cartridge type. Other video use other type. I am confused

Does this process work on a Tiguan 2019 SE?

Thank you so much you really help me out :D
@Dangelo Vihaan You are welcome :)
is ok to use non 508 spec . you have no problem so far? and is that castrol GDI oil or just synthetic oil?
You used the wrong oil. Should be VW 508 spec OW20. Different spec than Dexos 0W20 which is not meant for VW/Audi/Porsche.
great video but you need to use vw508 spec 0w20 oil!! It even says on your car on the white sticker!!! 5:16 shows the sticker (blurry)
thanks
Show same for 2016 Tiguan.
Wrong spec oil but otherwise very good video!!
Wow that looks hell of easy
My tiguan 2018 manual says SAE OW-30. Do you know the difference with OW-20?
The 20 vs 30 is just the grade at operating temperatures. 40 is a higher viscosity. Your area might be more hot in the summer compared to mine. Follow the manual.
Good video! but no music next time,
What tool for drain plug?
You can use a regular flat head screwdriver.
Do you have to put a new drain plug or can you use the same one?
It’s recommended to replace the drain plug per oil change.
Pleasee, cant find answer anywhere: this engine needs 5,7L of oil. Where exactly this volume on the stick would be? Thank youu soo much
you didnt use vw spec 508

Agree that VW508 is the only thing to use but the oil changes color over time and is brown when you drain it.
Do you have to use a torque wrench for the oil filter?
Yes to get it down to the proper torque its best to use an actual torque wrench.
Thank you ! Is there transmission oil in Tiguan?
Yes there is transmission oil.
@@samiseries6295 where is it ? I can't find it.
I found out that 2017 tiguan doesn’t use cartilage type. Only 2018 and 2019. You got wrong title
Ok, Thanks
Can I use this also for 2018 passat?
Yes you can get an idea. It should be similar if you have the 2.0 TSI
@@samiseries6295 that's exactly what it is,thx
So what is the torque setting ?? You can also put a reference mark on top of the canister and tighten to the same position again.
Double check your manual.
Timing belt or chain?
I’m pretty sure it’s a chain
If you get a vacuum oil suction tool with tube that goes down dipstick hole, you can change oil without getting under vehicle since the oil filter is on top. No mess, do it in street clothes
You can actually reach the drain plug on the Tiguan with the vehicle parked on the ground.
Supposed to use 508 509 oil. Always remove filter before drain plug.
VW 508/509 is just VW branded 0w-20 Full Synthetic engine oil. If you remove filter before drain plug all the oil from the filter will leak all over your engine. To let air in I loosened my engine oil fill cap.
508 509 oil is green. Looks nothing like regular synthetic
That’s weird cause on my VW’s oil fill cap it says Castrol and manual recommends Castrol. I’m in North America so maybe your oversea?
I’m in Chicago brother. Never had an oil related failure using Castrol as long as your using the right weight your probably good
Just curious. Why remove the oil filter before removing the drain plug? Thanks
Where can I get the oil filter?
You can get it a your local Walmart, VW Dealer or Amazon.
Oil filter 36 mm socket. 32mm no
gloves haha......
