I was just wondering if anyone knows the exact weight of oil and type that my new 2012 Jetta 2.5 SE takes??? I see that it suppositely only needs to be changed every 10k miles but is it suggested to do every 5k?? thanks!!

vw recommends Castol Edge with SPT 5W-40 (full synthetic)

i use Mobil1 0-40 (european formula) VW 502.00+ spec (full synthetic)

as long as it is VW 502.00+ spec, it is ok to use. it will clearly be marked on the back of the container.

edit: easiest way to tell; if it doesn't read Volkswagen or VW502.00, 505.00, ... then don't buy it.

Here are a few Oil Service Kits that you can order from ecstuning.com: www.ecstuning.com/Volkswagen-Jetta_VI-Sedan-2.5/Maintenance/Engine/Service_Kit/

What he said. Castrol Edge 5w 40 is what my dealer uses but any 502.00 VW spec full synthetic will work.
