Volkswagen (VW) Passat CC, 357 (USA / CAN)

Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Volkswagen Passat CC, 357 (USA / CAN) requires automatic transmission fluid with an initial fill capacity range of 6,9 to 7,2 liters. Service intervals include a change at 40000 miles, a check at 40000 miles, and a change at 80000 miles. The data covers 4 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes

  • The Volkswagen Passat CC, 357 automatic transmission fluid specifications cover two distinct drivetrain configurations: a semi-automatic transaxle paired with the 2.0 TFSI (147 kW) engine, and a conventional automatic transaxle paired with the 3.6 V6 FSI 4Motion (206 kW) engine.
  • The 2.0 TFSI semi-automatic transaxle carries an initial fill capacity of 6.9–7.2 liters, expressed as a range rather than a fixed value, which reflects the variable amount of fluid retained in the unit during a service fill versus a full overhaul or dry fill.
  • The 3.6 V6 FSI 4Motion automatic transaxle holds a fixed initial fill capacity of 7 liters, a single value that represents the fluid volume introduced at the factory or during a complete drain-and-fill procedure.
  • All four rows are designated for normal use conditions, meaning the intervals listed apply to standard operating environments rather than elevated-stress or severe-duty cycles.
  • The 2.0 TFSI semi-automatic transaxle has a fluid change interval of 40,000 miles under normal use, with no intermediate inspection interval specified in the data.
  • The 3.6 V6 FSI 4Motion automatic transaxle follows a two-stage service schedule under normal use: a fluid level check at 40,000 miles and a full fluid change at 80,000 miles, doubling the change interval relative to the 2.0 TFSI configuration.
  • The 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 model year entries for the 2.0 TFSI share identical capacity and interval figures, indicating no specification change occurred across the overlapping production period covered by the data.
  • The same consistency applies to the 3.6 V6 FSI 4Motion entries for 2009-2010 and 2010-2011, where capacity, check interval, and change interval remain unchanged across both year groupings.
