As shown by the manufacturer, the 2001 Volkswagen Jetta 2.0 L i-4 engine has an oil volume of 4.4 quarts and the 2.8 L v6 engine useS6.1 quarts. The suggested oil for the car is full synthetic SAE 5w-30 or 5w-40, and to ensure that Your engine is at its optimum output, You can replace the engine oil and filter every 3000 - 5000. Not adjusting the oil allows the oil to lose viscosity and does not adequately lubricate the engine's inner sections, such as the pistons and cylinders. Depending on whether it is traditional or synthetic and the brand/quality of the oil, the price of oil will range from $5 - $10 per quart. If You substitute oil, make sure that You also replace the oil filter. One of the most noticeable servicing periods to keep up with is the oil adjustment, which is why they now have the oil light in the truck to remind You.
