Volkswagen (VW) Up! (EU)

Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Volkswagen Up! (EU) automatic transmission fluid capacity is 1,1 liters. Service intervals consist of checks every 48 months or 60000 km. The data covers 3 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The Volkswagen Up! (EU) automatic transmission fluid capacity is 1.1 liters across all three listed configurations, which is a notably small volume consistent with the compact semi-automatic transaxle design used in city-oriented vehicles of this class.
  • All three configurations specify a service check interval of 48 months or 60,000 km under normal use conditions, meaning the interval applies to standard everyday driving rather than elevated-stress or high-frequency operating environments.
  • The 44 kW 1.0-liter engine appears in two separate year-range entries, 2011-2020 and 2020-2021, both sharing identical capacity and interval specifications of 1.1 liters and a 48-month/60,000 km check interval.
  • The 55 kW 1.0-liter variant, covering 2011-2019, carries the same 1.1-liter capacity and 48-month/60,000 km check interval as the lower-output 44 kW configurations, indicating no variation in fluid service requirements between the two power outputs.
  • All listed configurations are described as transaxle, semi-automatic units, which refers to a transmission that combines the gearbox and differential into a single housing while using automated clutch actuation rather than a conventional torque converter.
  • The 1.1-liter capacity figure represents a service fill volume, which is the amount of fluid used during a routine fluid check or top-up service rather than a full drain-and-refill overhaul quantity.
