The 2018 Volkswagen Atlas requires 5.6 quarts of oil for optimal performance. Using high-quality oil is crucial to keep the engine operating smoothly. Eventually, you may encounter problems related to the oil, such as engine knocking noises or even engine failure. An unpleasant burning smell could signal issues that need immediate attention to prevent potential dangers like the car catching fire. Neglecting to change the oil can also lead to poor gas mileage and overall engine problems. A good practice is to replace the oil every 5,000 to 10,000 miles to ensure the engine's longevity and efficiency.

    In the 2018 Volkswagen Atlas, all models require either 5w-40 oil meeting VW 502 00 standards or 0w-40 oil. The Atlas variants with a 2.0 liter engine - the S, SE, and SEL - necessitate 6 quarts of this type of oil. On the other hand, the 3.6 liter engine Atlas models - including the S, SE, SEL, SEL Premium, and Launch Edition - only require 5.8 quarts of the same type of oil.
