Additional Notes

  • The Volkswagen Eos 1F8 semi-automatic transaxle carries a dry fill capacity of 6.9-7.2 liters, a volume associated with a complete overhaul or initial factory fill where the entire transmission assembly, including the torque converter, is empty before fluid is introduced.
  • The service fill capacity of 5.2 liters is the amount used during a routine fluid change, reflecting the residual fluid that remains in the torque converter and passages even after draining, which accounts for the difference from the dry fill figure.
  • A separate Mechatronic Only capacity of 3-4 liters applies when servicing solely the mechatronic unit, the integrated hydraulic and electronic control assembly within the semi-automatic transaxle, without performing a full fluid exchange on the rest of the transmission.
  • The 40,000-mile change interval is specified under normal use conditions for both the 2011-2013 and 2013-2016 Eos 2.0 TFSI (147 kW) configurations, meaning the interval applies to standard driving circumstances rather than severe or demanding operating conditions.
  • The dry fill range of 6.9-7.2 liters, rather than a single fixed value, reflects minor variation in the total fluid volume depending on assembly tolerances or the specific state of the transmission during a complete fill procedure.
  • Both the 2011-2013 and 2013-2016 Eos 2.0 TFSI (147 kW) share identical capacity figures and change intervals across all three fill categories, indicating no revision to the transmission fluid specification between those two production periods.
