In the 2005 Volkswagen Jetta with a 2.5L 5 cylinder engine, you will need 6.3 quarts of SAE 5W-40 oil, preferably full synthetic. Synthetic oil, synthesized in a lab, provides better protection and longer oil life compared to conventional oil derived from petroleum. This means you can go 7,500 miles between changes with synthetic, whereas conventional oil requires changes every 3,500 to 5,000 miles. It is crucial to regularly check your engine oil to ensure it is adequately filled and clean from debris that could harm your engine.
