What is the transmission oil model for the 2017 Jetta?
2 Answers
Generally, the original manufacturer has its own specified dedicated transmission oil. Additional information is as follows: 1. Precautions: When changing the oil, it is essential to use the automatic transmission oil specified by the manufacturer. This is because different automatic transmissions have varying internal structures, friction components, and sealing components. The original factory oil is specially formulated based on the transmission's structure and materials, and even high-quality oils from other brands may not be suitable. 2. Transmission Oil: Transmission oil is a lubricant used to keep the gear system clean, ensuring the transmission operates normally and extending the lifespan of the transmission components.
The automatic transmission fluid model for my 2017 Jetta is the Volkswagen genuine G 055 025 A2, which I found in the vehicle manual. When I went for an oil change before, the mechanic also mentioned that this fluid is quite reliable as it's specifically designed for automatic transmissions, ensuring smooth gear shifts. Remember, the fluid should be changed every 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers; otherwise, aged fluid can affect the transmission's lifespan, leading to noise or sluggish acceleration. From my own driving experience, I believe timely maintenance is crucial, especially for long-distance trips. If you're unsure where your manual is, you can search for owner forums online or call the 4S dealership to get the details—just don't randomly use other brands.
