What model of gear oil is used in the manual transmission of the Volkswagen Lavida?
1 Answers
Volkswagen Lavida manual transmission uses gear oil of model 75W-90. The transmission oil only needs to be considered for replacement at 60,000 kilometers. For the Lavida, the transmission oil is changed within the first 5,000 kilometers of the initial maintenance. After the initial maintenance, regular engine oil should be changed approximately every 5,000 kilometers for maintenance. If semi-synthetic oil is used, it can be changed every 7,500 kilometers (try not to exceed 8,000 kilometers), and fully synthetic oil every 10,000 kilometers (do not exceed 12,000 kilometers). The transmission oil should be changed every 60,000 kilometers. When changing the transmission oil, the old oil cannot be completely drained, and at least one-fifth remains inside the transmission. Using oil from other brands will result in a mixture of old and new oil, which can react over prolonged use and potentially damage the transmission.
