To change the engine oil on a Volkswagen Tiguan, access the underside of the engine compartment where the oil drain plug is located: this must be opened and the used oil collected in a suitably positioned container. Next, open the bonnet to access the engine compartment, where the oil filter must be removed and replaced with a new one. Finally, top up through the designated vent, close the bonnet, and check that everything functions correctly.
