Do you want to replace the oil in the Jetta? Open the car door and pull up the engine bay release lever located at the bottom left of the dashboard and lift the bonnet, securing it. Unscrew the oil filter with a chain wrench, remove the worn filter and position a new one after draining the oil. Lift the car with a jack: unscrew the oil pan bolt, drain the fluid into a disposal container.

After lowering the car, top up the new oil in the engine.

Replace the filter along with the used oil.
