The 2018 Volkswagen Jetta requires 0w-40 oil, which is crucial for keeping the engine running smoothly. Neglecting to maintain high-quality oil could lead to issues such as engine failure, knocking noises, poor gas mileage, and a burning smell. It's essential to address these symptoms promptly to prevent potential hazards like engine damage or even an explosion. Remember to change the oil every 5,000 to 10,000 miles to ensure optimal engine performance and avoid any complications.

    All versions of the Volkswagen Jetta with a 1.4 liter engine – the SE, the S, and the Wolfsburg Edition – require oil with a viscosity of 5w-40 that meets VW 502 00 or 0w-40 specifications. They each have a capacity of 4.2 quarts. The Jetta GLI, with a 2.0 liter engine, holds 5.8 quarts of the same viscosity oil as the 1.4 liter models. Similarly, the 1.8T SE Sport and the 1.8T SEL also use the same viscosity oil as the other Jetta models and have a capacity of 5.8 quarts.
