The 2012 Volkswagen Passat requires 5W-30 oil for the 2.0 L 4-cylinder diesel, and either 5W-40 or 5W-30 for the 2.5 L 5-cylinder and the 3.6 L V6 engines. The oil capacity is 4.5 quarts with a filter for the 2.0 L 4-cylinder diesel, and 6.3 quarts with a filter for the 2.5 L 5-cylinder and 3.6 L V6 engines. Using oil is crucial for maintaining a clean and functional engine, and it should be replaced every 10,000 miles or annually, whichever comes first. Changing the filter along with the oil change can help save time.
In 2012, the amount of engine oil your Volkswagen Passat needs depends on the trim level you have. The S, SE, SEL, and SEL Premium models require around 6.3 quarts of oil, while the TDI models need approximately 4.5 quarts.
