Additional Notes
- The Volkswagen Jetta 1.5 FSI (118 kW) carries an initial automatic transaxle fill capacity of 6.3 liters, a figure that represents the fluid volume introduced during a service fill rather than a full overhaul, which would typically require a higher quantity to account for fluid retained in the torque converter and valve body.
- A check interval of 20,000 miles or 24 months is specified for the 1.5 FSI automatic transaxle, meaning fluid condition and level are to be verified at whichever of those two thresholds arrives first under normal use conditions.
- The change interval for the automatic transaxle fluid is set at 80,000 miles under normal use conditions, placing the drain-and-refill service well beyond the check interval and reflecting a long-life fluid specification common in modern sealed or semi-sealed automatic transaxle designs.
- The normal use condition designation on the 1.5 FSI automatic transaxle row means the 80,000-mile change interval applies to standard driving patterns, as opposed to severe use classifications that typically involve towing, extreme temperatures, or frequent short-trip operation.
