How many liters of transmission oil can be added to the Volkswagen Magotan?

The Volkswagen Magotan can be filled with 6 liters of transmission oil. Generally, the replacement interval for transmission oil depends on the driver's proficiency in vehicle operation, the road conditions the vehicle frequently encounters, and the mileage covered over a certain period. Transmission oil is a lubricant that keeps the gear system clean, ensuring the transmission operates normally and prolonging the lifespan of the transmission components. The methods for replacing transmission oil are as follows: 1. Traditional gravity drain method, which works similarly to changing engine oil—by loosening the transmission drain plug to release the old oil and then refilling with new oil. 2. Using a circulation machine to replace automatic transmission oil, mainly utilizing the machine's pressure to dynamically replace the oil in the torque converter's lubrication lines and cooling lines.
Last time I went to the 4S shop to change the transmission fluid for my Volkswagen Magotan, the technician said that about 6 liters of fluid are generally needed for a gravity drain, depending on the year and transmission type. Manual transmissions might require less, while automatic or DSG dual-clutch transmissions would need around this amount. Gravity drain means directly draining the old fluid and adding new fluid, which is a simple operation but may leave some old fluid residue. If you use a flushing machine for a thorough clean, you'd need to prepare over 10 liters. Transmission fluid must be changed regularly—I change mine every 60,000 kilometers or three years. If the fluid deteriorates, it can wear out the gears, and the repair costs can be high. Pay attention to the smoothness of gear shifts when driving. If you feel any jerking or hear unusual noises, it might be time to change the fluid—don't delay, safety first.
