For the 2007 Volkswagen Passat equipped with the 2.0 L 4-cylinder engine, it requires 4.9 quarts of oil with a filter, while the 3.6 L V6 engine needs 5.8 quarts with a filter. The recommended oil type for optimal performance is SAE 5W-40 MS Synthetic. In this designation, 5 represents the oil's viscosity at startup, "W" stands for winter, and 40 indicates the viscosity at operating speeds. Regularly changing the oil and filter every 10,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first, is crucial for maintaining a clean engine and prolonging the vehicle's lifespan. Keep an eye on the oil life indicator to determine when it's time for an oil change.
When it comes to changing the oil, you'll need about 4.9 quarts for the 4-cylinder engine and 5.8 quarts for the V6. Make sure to use 5W-30 oil for best results.
