★ Top Answer
The 2012 Volkswagen Jetta GLI is offered with either a naturally aspirated or turbocharged 2.0 liter engine option. Both variants require 4.9 quarts of SAE 5W-40 full synthetic motor oil, whether it's the CBFA or CBFA Turbo engine. If the specified oil is unavailable, you can use SAE 5W-30 as long as it meets the Audi and Volkswagen oil quality standard. However, it's important to note that SAE 5W-30 is not recommended for long-term use as thicker oils create more friction, potentially damaging the engine over time. It's advisable to stick with the lower oil weight, even if it costs a bit more during each oil change.
