The 2014 VW Jetta TDI requires 6.1 liters (6.4 quarts) of 5W-30 engine oil, but you can also use 5W-40 or 10W-30 as alternatives. These synthetic oils are designed to be long-lasting in various climates. Volkswagen suggests changing the oil every 10,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first, but you may need to do it more often depending on where you drive and your habits. Neglecting oil maintenance can lead to costly engine repairs, so it's crucial to monitor it regularly, even if it's not time for a scheduled service. The oil helps to keep the engine cool, well-lubricated, and protected from corrosion. It also plays a role in optimizing performance and fuel efficiency of the vehicle. Typically, the cost to change the oil in a 2014 Jetta TDI ranges from $110 to $140, with labor making up $30 to $50 of that total. If you choose to perform the oil change yourself, you can save a little money.

The 2014 TDI's CJAA engine needs 4.5 quarts/4.3 liters of 5w30 VW 504/507 approved oil. Check the label on the back of the oil container for the specification. Good options include Castrol 5w30 LL03, Mobile 1 ESP 5w30 (designed for emissions systems), and Liqui Moly Top Tec 4200. Make sure the oil you choose has the VW 504/507 approval to absorb soot content within the engine and prevent it from being released into the environment.
