Additional Notes

  • The Volkswagen K 70 manual transmission fluid capacity is 1.4 liters across all three configurations covered in the specifications, spanning the 55 kW and 66 kW 1.6-liter variants as well as the LS 1.8 74 kW variant.
  • A 1.4-liter capacity figure for a manual transmission represents a service fill volume, meaning the amount of fluid required during a standard drain-and-refill service rather than a full overhaul procedure.
  • The change interval for manual transmission fluid is 30,000 km across all listed K 70 configurations, and each row carries a normal use condition, meaning the interval applies to standard operating conditions rather than severe or demanding driving environments.
  • The 55 kW 1.6-liter variant spans 1970-1975, while the 66 kW 1.6-liter variant covers only 1970-1973, reflecting a shorter production window for the higher-output version of the same displacement engine.
  • The K 70 LS 1.8 74 kW variant, produced from 1973-1975, shares the same 1.4-liter transmission fluid capacity and 30,000 km change interval as the 1.6-liter variants despite having a larger engine displacement and higher power output.
