What Kind of Oil Should I Use for My 2017 Jetta?
Published by SearchforParts.com on October 2, 2022.
The 2017 Jetta needs SAE 5W-40 oil regardless of the engine size. The engines available for this year are 1.4L, 1.8L, and 2.0L and they are all turbo. The amount of oil in quarts may vary depending on engine size and we will dive into that in a bit. We will also give you the type of oil filter for your 2017 Jetta and more! We will even list the compatible transmission fluids as well.
Also, some manufacturers make a special European blend oil for the VW to protect the engine and also protect sensitive emission systems. Synthetic is the best type of oil since it will protect the Jetta’s turbo engines from high temperatures. Later on, in this article, we will suggest a special synthetic European oil for your Jetta.
What is the oil capacity or amount of oil in quarts for my 2017 Volkswagen Jetta?
If you have a 1.4L, the capacity is 4.2 quarts with the filter. If your Jetta has a 1.8 or 2.0-liter engine, then you will need 5.8 quarts with the filter installed. A good suggestion is to buy an extra quart as some engines burn or consume oil and there is nothing wrong with them. As time goes by, let’s say a month and a week, the oil level may decrease. So to top off the oil make sure you have an extra quart handy and protect your engine. It’s a good idea to check all fluids frequently (brake, transmission, power steering, coolant).
