According to the manufacturer, the 2019 Volkswagen Jetta with a 1.4L i-4 engine requires 4.2 quarts of oil with SAE 0w20 full synthetic being the recommended choice. It is advisable to change the oil and filter every 5000 - 7000 miles to maintain optimal engine performance. Failing to do so can result in a loss of viscosity, leading to inadequate lubrication of critical engine components like pistons and cylinders. The cost of oil varies depending on whether it is conventional or synthetic, ranging from $5 to $10 per quart. Whenever you change the oil, ensure that you also replace the oil filter to keep your engine running smoothly.
The 1.4L engine in the 2019 Volkswagen Jetta holds around 4.2 Quarts of oil including the filter, and it needs to use 5w-40 oil.
It requires SAE 0W-20 oil. Make sure to inspect under the hood or on the oil cap.
The instruction guide for my 2019 Jetta S with a 1.4L engine recommends using 4 liters (about 4.2 quarts) of OW20 oil for an oil change. Following this, I put in precisely 4 liters. After running the engine and checking the dipstick, I found I was still short by half a quart. By adding that additional half quart, the oil level reached the top of the dipstick indicator line. In total, I ended up using 4.473 liters or 4.72 quarts. For those interested, the drain plug size is M14x1.5.
I drive a 2019 Volkswagen Jetta SE that needs 4 liters of SAE 0W-20 oil.
