What is the 2013 Volkswagen Passat oil type?

I inherited a 2013 Volkswagen Passat from my late father. I’m pretty sentimental about the car, so I’d rather change the oil myself than hire someone to do it. What type of oil do I need for a 2013 Volkswagen Passat?

Sorry to hear about the passing of your father, but at least you have something to remember him by. A 2013
Volkswagen Passat’s
oil type is 5W-40 oil.
Volkswagen suggests the use of full synthetic motor oil to get peak performance and acceleration, as well as fuel economy. However, you can also use conventional oil or a blend if money is a bit tight.
You will need 4.25 quarts to change your oil. Just make sure to dispose of the old motor oil properly at either a recycling center or an auto repair shop.
