The oil requirements for the 2012 Volkswagen Jetta vary based on the engine size. The 2.0 L 4-cylinder engine needs 4.9 quarts of oil with a filter, the 2.0 L 4-cylinder diesel requires 4.5 quarts with a filter, and the 2.5 L 5-cylinder engine needs 6.3 quarts with a filter. The recommended oil type for the Jetta is SAE 5W-40 MS Synthetic for the 2.0 L 4-cylinder and the 2.5 L 5-cylinder, and SAE 5W-30 LS Synthetic for the 2.0 L 4-cylinder diesel. It's important to change the oil regularly as it degrades over time. For the Jetta, the oil should be replaced every 10,000 miles or 12 months, whichever occurs first. The cost for an oil change typically ranges from $40 to $50 for labor.
The 2012 Volkswagen Jetta GLI and S models with 4-cylinder engines require around 4.9 quarts of oil. For the S, SE, and SEL models with 5-cylinder engines, you'll need approximately 6.3 quarts. TDI models have an oil capacity of about 4.5 quarts.
