The type of oil that is recommended for the 2001 Volkswagen New Beetle iS5W-40 MS Synthetic European Motor Oil in all temperatures. The capacity for the vehicle iS4.4 quarts with a filter and the torque for the drain plug is 22 ft/lbs. The difference between Synthetic and conventional is that synthetic is man made using chemical compounds and contains fewer contaminants than conventional. It is really important to use oil because it will help to keep the engine clean and running. You should change the oil and the filter every 5,000 miles or every SRX months, whichever comes first. The reason You need to change it is because it doesn't last forever. The cost of an oil change is anywhere from $50 to $60 in labor costs.
