Additional Notes

  • The Volkswagen Passat 3C (USA/CAN) 2.0 TFSI (147 kW) manual transaxle carries a fluid capacity of 2.3 liters, listed as an initial fill value rather than a service drain-and-refill figure.
  • An initial fill capacity reflects the volume loaded into the unit at the factory or during a full overhaul, and it serves as a reference point for verifying correct fluid level rather than a routine top-up quantity.
  • Under normal use conditions, the manual transaxle fluid interval for the 2.0 TFSI (147 kW) is set at a 20,000-mile check interval.
  • The 2005-2008 and 2007-2010 model year ranges for the 2.0 TFSI (147 kW) share identical specifications, with both showing a 2.3-liter initial fill capacity and a 20,000-mile check interval under normal use.
  • The overlap between the 2005-2008 and 2007-2010 ranges means the 2007 and 2008 model years appear in both entries, each carrying the same 2.3-liter capacity and 20,000-mile check specification.
