What kind of engine oil should a Volkswagen Jetta use?
1 Answers
The Jetta offers two displacement models: 1.4L and 1.6L. According to the official manual, the recommended engine oil specification for the Jetta is VW50200, and you can also use 5W-40 or higher-grade oil. The oil capacity is approximately 4L. Below are some maintenance tips for the Volkswagen Jetta: 1. Depending on driving habits and vehicle usage conditions, the maximum oil consumption rate for the Jetta should not exceed 1.0L/1000km. The oil consumption rate during the first 5000km of a new car may be slightly higher than this value. Therefore, it is essential to regularly check the oil level, preferably when refueling and before long-distance trips. 2. During long-distance highway driving in summer, when towing a trailer, or driving in mountainous areas, the engine operates under harsh conditions, and the oil level must be maintained within Zone A and should not exceed it.
