How Often Should the Transmission Fluid in a Volkswagen Be Changed?

[LiamDella]

Volkswagen transmission fluid is generally recommended to be changed every two years or approximately 40,000 kilometers. The replacement interval varies for different models. Below are the recommended intervals for changing transmission fluid. Manual Transmission: Manual transmission fluid is generally recommended to be changed every three years or approximately 100,000 kilometers. Automatic Transmission: Automatic transmission fluid is generally recommended to be changed every two years or approximately 40,000 kilometers. Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT): CVT fluid is generally recommended to be changed every two years or approximately 60,000 kilometers. The methods for changing transmission fluid are as follows: 1. Loosen the drain plug at the bottom of the transmission to drain the old fluid and then refill. 2. Remove the transmission oil pan directly to drain and refill the fluid: This method is more thorough than the previous one, as it removes deposits and impurities from the bottom of the oil pan. 3. Use a circulation machine to change automatic transmission fluid: A smart circulation machine performs dynamic fluid replacement, filtering and cleaning sludge and impurities inside the automatic transmission.
