Picked up a new 2018 VW Tiguan with the Miller cycle 2.0T. Realized after looking at the manual that it specs VW508 oil, which is a 0w20. While I’d prefer to use Castrol 0w40, I’m concerned about warranty. It says you can top off with vw 502, but nothing about subbing a full fill. I’ve read you can sub in a 504/507 oil, which I’d be comfortable with.
Castrol 0w20 FE is the vw fill, with motul also having an approved oil. Does anyone have a good vw parts site? I’m looking to use an approved oil and the Castrol isn’t available anywhere but the dealer from my research.
Hopefully there are more mainstream approved oils soon. It doesn’t look like any crazy spec, so hoping Amsoil or another steps up to the plate.
Thanks for any advice and support you can offer.
