Which oil

I've been using that in my 2011 Audi S4 since 2013 and my wife's 2015 VW Polo 1.2TSI since 2019, ie main dealer warranties and service plans had expired.
Edit:- I also tend to use Mann filters if I can't find any genuine VW Group branded Mann oil filters being sold at a very "good" price.
Use Opie oils to see what oil options you have.
Use this to check oil quantity:

EA888 Engine 2 L needs 5,7 L including change of filter. I use 5w-30 spec vw 50400.
Looking at the DKZA 2.0 engine - 5.7L is listed on the data I can see also. More than my TDI!
Time/distance dependent service
Engine oil SAE 0W-30 VW 504 00
Engine oil SAE 5W-30 VW 504 00
Longlife, ( - 2020)
Engine oil (Preferred lubricant specification) SAE 0W-20 VW 508 00
Engine oil (Alternative lubricant specification: Oil of this quality may be used but exhaust emissions will increase) SAE 0W-30 VW 504 00
Engine oil (Alternative lubricant specification: Oil of this quality may be used but exhaust emissions will increase) SAE 5W-30 VW 504 00
Easily explained. 0w-20 vs 5w-30.
0w-20 is thinner, has lower viscosity. 5w-30 can withstand heat better. If it was a Cupra for sure i would use 5w-30 (higher output means more heat). Last time I did a change on my Leon Cupra I consumed 5,8 L, included a couple of cl to rinse the filter container

So 0-30 is somewhere in between?
Its not as cold as Sweden here in England so maybe I'll go for 5w30 too.
The 190tsi - is an EA888 gen3B - the B being important differentiator - it runs the Budack cycle (similar to miller cycle) rather than the otto cycle - so an efficiency orientated design, not just a de-tuned GTI engine! along with a host of other changes in the name for economy.
The DKZA 190tsi uses a different oil pump to the usual crowd of EA888 engines (GTI/Cupra/R etc) so would be fine to run of either 508 or 504. I would not run the standard GTI/Cupra on EA888 on 508 (0w20)

Yes you'll need 6L.
If you just putt around in your car - commuting to work/family etc.. then 508 (0w20) will be fine.
If you intend re-mapping it and driving like you stole it I would put 504 (0w30 or 5w30) in.

.Interesting, i wonder how this engine will sit with a remap, several places have quoted between 250-260hp on stage 1.Engeneering Explained regarding the "Budack cykle" for you who want to know
