What type of engine oil should a Jetta use?

[FranciscoLynn]

Jetta uses engine oil with the specification VW50200, and you can also use 5W-40 or higher grade oil. Here is the method to check the engine oil level: 1. Pull the oil dipstick out of the tube and wipe off the oil marks on the dipstick with a clean cloth; 2. Insert the oil dipstick back into the tube, pushing it in as far as it will go. If there is a mark on the oil dipstick, this mark must align with the groove at the top of the tube after insertion; 3. Pull out the oil dipstick again and read the engine oil level (the level should be between max and min). If there is a slight shortage, you can add an appropriate amount of oil. If there is an excessive amount, visit a service center as soon as possible to determine the cause; 4. After reading the oil level, insert the oil dipstick back into the tube and push it in as far as it will go.
