What kind of oil does a Volkswagen Jetta take?
Last week, I bought a used Volkswagen Jetta, and I’d like to change the oil and filter. What kind of oil does a Volkswagen Jetta take?

Congrats on your new car! The type of oil a
Volkswagen Jetta
takes varies depending on the year, engine, and trim. In the chart below, you’ll see an overview of the 2018 to 2021 Jetta trims. They all take a full synthetic oil, but the weight of the oil and amount varies depending upon the trim and year:
Model/Engine/Year | Oil type and weight | How many quarts |
| ——— | ———– | ———- |
|Volkswagen Jetta GLI 2.0L 2018| Synthetic Blend OW-40 |5.81 Qts. |
|Volkswagen Jetta SEL Premium 1.4L DI Turbo 2019| Synthetic Blend OW-20 |4.23 Qts. |
|Volkswagen Jetta R-Line 1.4 L 2020 | Full Synthetic OW-20 |4.23 Qts. |
|Volkswagen Jetta GLI Autobahn 2.0L 2021 | Full Synthetic OW-20 |6.02 Qts. |
Without regular oil changes with the correct oil type and weight, you can potentially wreck your Jetta’s engine. Another part of your routine as a car owner should be shopping around for
car insurance
when your policy is set to renew. For most of us, filling out insurance forms is something we dread—but
