2021 Volkswagen Jetta Oil Capacity
The 2021 Volkswagen Jetta oil capacity depends on the engine: the 1.4 TSI takes 4.2 qt, while the 1.5 TSI takes 4.5 qt. The listed oil grades also differ: 5W-40 for the 1.4 TSI and 0W-20 for the 1.5 TSI. Use the entry for your engine rather than treating either capacity or grade as universal for the model year.
Read each capacity as the listed oil amount for that engine, and use the matching viscosity grade when selecting oil. The figures here distinguish the 1.4 TSI from the 1.5 TSI; they do not establish a different amount by trim. If you cannot confirm which engine your Jetta has, or need a figure that is not listed here, check the vehicle’s door jamb or owner’s manual before adding oil.
