Additional Notes

  • The Volkswagen Taos 1.5 TSI (118 kW) carries an initial automatic transaxle fill capacity of 6.3 liters, a figure that represents the fluid volume introduced during a factory or first-service fill rather than a full overhaul quantity.
  • Under normal use conditions, the automatic transaxle fluid in the 1.5 TSI (118 kW) is subject to a check interval of 20,000 miles or 24 months, whichever comes first.
  • The change interval for automatic transaxle fluid in the 2021 Volkswagen Taos 1.5 TSI (118 kW) is set at 80,000 miles under normal use conditions, placing the drain-and-refill service well beyond the periodic check interval.
  • The gap between the 20,000-mile check interval and the 80,000-mile change interval means the fluid level and condition are evaluated four times before a full fluid change is due under normal use.
