Issues with volkswagen printing material.
As you can see on page 148 of the owner's manual it states the amount of oil for the 2015 Passat TDi is 4.5 Qts.
4.5 Qts barely shows up in the dipstick.
After an oil change I had to add 5.8 Qts to reach correct oil level on level ground.
My Passat is brand new, no oil leaks.
So, owner's manual is not correct.
Second issue:
Volkswagen technical bulletin states 2014 Jetta TDi has 20 valves.
Next paragraph they state it has 4 cylinder 4 valves per cylinders.
Moral of the story, for the oil level, always go by the measurements on the dipstick.
If you go by the owner's manual you will get a low level oil light just like I did.
