★ Top Answer
The 2013 VW Passat TDI with a 2.0-liter engine requires 4.3 liters (4.5 quarts) of SAE 5W-30 motor oil. This synthetic fluid is popular for its versatility across different engines and suitability for various climates. Your vehicle comes with an oil life light that will alert you in the dashboard when it's time for a maintenance check. After replacing the oil, you will need to reset this light. Volkswagen recommends changing the oil every 6,000 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first, but your actual schedule should be tailored to your driving habits. Oil is crucial for lubricating engine parts, cooling the engine, preventing corrosion, and optimizing performance, so it's important not to neglect it. The average cost for an oil change in the 2013 Passat TDI is between $130 and $160, which includes labor.
