How to drain the engine oil of the Volkswagen Tiguan

Model: Volkswagen Tiguan BW, MK 2, AD - Years 2016-2025
Part: Engine oil

Today we will explain how to drain the oil from the tank of the Volkswagen Tiguan model produced from 2018 to 2021. To perform this operation, we need to open the front hood and unscrew the oil tank cap to create greater pressure for complete drainage. Using a torque wrench, we remove the nut from the oil pan and let the used oil flow into a previously positioned plastic container. Once the oil has finished draining, we close the nut. The used engine oil must be disposed of according to the guidelines of your municipality if the operation is done independently; if it is done at a workshop, the workshop will take care of the disposal.
