The best way to keep your 6th generation MK6 (2011, 2012, 2013 & 2014) Volkswagen Jetta or Sportwagen running reliably for years to come is to regularly change the motor oil and replace the cartridge oil filter element in the 2.5 liter inline five cylinder engine. To view my DIY tutorial for the procedure, including replacement part numbers and a required tools list, click on the text link or thumbnail image below. (Owners of other VW Group vehicles with the 2.5L I5 motor such as the 2005-2010 MK5 Jetta, the Vento, Bora, and Lavida should also find the instructions to be helpful.)
