Synthetic oils are always better buy you will pay for it. It's always best to check with the dealer and use what they recommend.
For the 2.8 v6 its 6.5 qts with oil and filter change.
6 liters.
6 quarts.
I would use Mobil 1 synthetic 5w40. It seems to work the best for me.
The 2001 Passat wagon uses 5.7 pints of oil to 6.5 oil. Do not overfill as that may cause overflow to damage the catalytic converter.
I use Shell Helix fully synthetic. (That is what is in the recommended book) Takes 6.5 litres including filter
6.5
