The 2010 VW Jetta with a 2.5 liter engine requires 6.3 US quarts of 5W-40 oil, while the 2 liter engine needs 4.9 quarts. The owner's manual also allows for using 5W-30 instead of 5W-40. Both Jetta models require this oil viscosity. Volkswagen suggests changing the oil and filter every 5,000-7,500 miles using fully synthetic products. Synthetic oil offers better lubrication, longer service intervals, and improved performance in cold weather compared to conventional oil. Branded lubricants offer up to double the corrosion protection of aftermarket replacements. The cost of an oil change for a VW Jetta typically ranges from $113 to $127 for parts and labor.
For the 2010 Jetta with the 2.5L engine, Volkswagen suggests using 5W-40 engine oil that complies with the VW 502 00 Oil Quality Standard. If 5W-40 isn't on hand, 5W-30 can be used as long as it meets the same requirements. For the 2.0L (TDI) engines, Volkswagen advises using 5W-40 oil meeting the VW 504 00/507 00 Oil Quality Standard. If 5W-40 is unavailable, 5W-30 can be a suitable alternative if it also fulfills the specified criteria.
