The 2016 Volkswagen Passat offers three different engines to choose from. The initial two are variations of a 1.8-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, while the third option is a 3.6-liter 6-cylinder engine. All these engines require 5.8 quarts of SAE 5W-30 full synthetic oil that meets Volkswagen's quality standard. If you can't find this specific oil, you can use SAE 5W-40 as a temporary replacement. However, using oil with a higher viscosity in the long run is not recommended because it can create more friction in the engine. This increased friction could lead to premature engine wear and eventually result in engine failure. Even though it might cost a bit more for each oil change, it's best to stick to the manufacturer's recommended oil with the lowest viscosity for optimal engine performance.
