Engine oil FUCHS or OEM Volkswagen

I've been using these docs for a while now, and am incredibly grateful for you sharing them. With that said, I just noticed something that's news to me. Both the \"Revised Oil Capacity Job Aid\" and the 2012 vs 2013 fluid capacity charts show a 1 qt decrease in engine oil capacity between 2012 and 2013 MY. I've always heard there were insignificant, minor changes between the model years. I've been putting 5ish into my 2012 and it's always been full according to the dipstick.

I had the same problem with my 99.5 VR. I now use 5-50, problem solved.

i changed mine @62k miles with similar results. i to change my oil around 5k and was useing m1 0w-40, but just recently started useing fuchs titan oils.

Given that it's almost guaranteed that this was not a turbo engine originally (the lack of factory air filter is another clue) she'll run hotter than usual and so a quality oil is a good investment.

i run 0w30 in my jetta 2.0. fully synth. have for 33,000 miles, no problems, other then better gas mileage

Personally I use 8-10k change intervals on my Jetta, its rated for that, and i use the right oil.
