From the 1.5 TSI ACT to the 2.0 TDI, all combustion engines in the Seat Tarraco range have something in common. They need fresh engine oil on a regular basis – the right amount of oil and ensuring it has the correct specification. This will help to preserve the condition of the engine and ensure it runs smoothly for many years.
The Tarraco is a mid-size SUV from the Spanish manufacturer Seat. Since 2012 the Taracco have the engine positioned across the front axle and use the modular transverse matrix (MQB) as the technical basis. This is the same as almost all models from the VW Groupw produced after 2012. The Tarraco model is closely related to the Skoda Kodiaq and the VW Tiguan Allspace and offers an enormous amount of space in the second row of seats and is also available with a third row of seats. Interestingly, the Seat Tarraco is manufactured at VW's main plant in Wolfsburg, while the related VW Tiguan Allspace comes off the assembly line in Mexico.
In the case of the Seat Tarraco, the change interval is set at the factory by a PR number in the vehicle data carrier. The vehicles for Europe are usually marked with the number QI6, which stands for the flexible change interval of a maximum of 30,000 km or 2 years. If the on-board computer is recoded to the fixed interval, then the engine oil is changed every 15,000 km or once a year. With the flexible interval, the on-board computer uses various measured values and data to calculate the real wear and tear of the engine oil and the best time for a change.
The slightly smaller 1.5 TSI ACT with 110 kW holds 4.3 litres of engine oil, while the larger 2.0 TSI 4Drive petrol engine with 140 kW requires a total of 5.7 litres . The diesel 2.0 TDI with the engine codes DFGA and DFHA are in the middle with 4.7 litres .

For every engine there is one or more types of oil that fit exactly and meet the SAE and manufacturers specification.
When buying motor oil, pay attention to the approval and viscosity. With the right approval, you ensure that the engine oil has all the properties that are important for your engine.
Motor oil is a vital part of your Seat Tarraco's engine. It provides the much needed lubrication to many of the internal parts of an engine. One of its key jobs is to prevent wear and tear on the moving parts which helps keep the engine running smoothly. Without oil, the engine would cease up almost immediately.
Regularly checking and changing your Seat Tarraco engine oil is really important. Every time you start and run your car, very fine by-products from the combustion in the engine will be collected in the engine oil. This is one of the reasons why over time the oil goes black. If these contaminants build up too much and exceed the capacity of the oil it can have a negative impact on your car’s overall efficiency and actually effect its performance as it creates sludge and increased wear in the engine block.
