The 2004 Volkswagen Jetta requires SAE 5w-30 fully synthetic motor oil that meets specific standards. It holds 4.75 quarts of oil. You can buy these oils at most retailers, automotive stores, or online from reputable sellers. Prices per bottle range from $2.36 to $9.48. If you opt for professional oil change service, expect to pay labor costs ranging from $24 to $145. Consider investing in a funnel priced between $1 to $3 to help prevent spills. It's recommended to change the oil every 10,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first.

Volkswagen suggests using 5W40 for conventional oil and 5W30 for synthetic oil in the 2004 Volkswagen Jetta. Here's the oil capacity for each engine available in the 2004 Jetta: The 1.8L inline-4, the 1.9L inline-4 turbo diesel (engine code ALH 1), and the 1.9L inline-4 turbo diesel (engine code BEW R) all need 4.8 quarts of oil. The four variations of the 2.0L inline-4 engine (engine codes AVH 5, AZG K, BBW L, and BEV M) require 4.4 quarts of the specified oil grades. The 2.8L V6 engine choice for the 2004 Volkswagen Jetta uses 5.8 quarts of oil.

It all comes down to the type of engine you have. For a 1.8T engine, you should use a full synthetic oil like a 0W40 Euro oil. The TDI engine from 2004 requires a 505.01 spec 5W30 oil, but using a 5W40 oil is preferable to reduce cam wear as it is diesel rated and contains higher levels of phosphorus and zinc. A 2.0 engine is more flexible and can run on various types of oil.
