Volkswagen (VW) VW-Porsche 914 (EU)

Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Volkswagen VW-Porsche 914 (EU) uses automatic transmission fluid with a capacity range of 2,5 to 6 liters. Service intervals consist of a 5000 km check and a 20000 km change. The data covers 2 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The VW-Porsche 914 (EU) 914/4 automatic transmission system separates fluid capacity into two distinct housings: the torque converter and the transaxle. Together, the two figures reflect a total fluid volume that is split between a sealed rotating assembly and a serviceable gear unit.
  • The torque converter on the 914/4 (1969-1973) holds 6 liters of automatic transmission fluid. A torque converter capacity of this size is typical of a unit that is not routinely drained during standard service intervals, as the converter itself retains fluid even after a transaxle drain procedure.
  • The transaxle on the 914/4 (1969-1973) carries a separate capacity of 2.5 liters under normal use conditions. This figure represents the serviceable volume accessible through the transaxle drain and fill points during routine maintenance.
  • Under normal use conditions, the transaxle fluid on the 914/4 (1969-1973) is subject to a check interval of 5,000 km. A check interval at that mileage point indicates a verification of fluid level rather than a full fluid exchange.
  • The change interval for the 914/4 (1969-1973) transaxle fluid under normal use conditions is set at 20,000 km. At a 20,000 km exchange cycle, the 2.5-liter transaxle fill represents the volume required to restore the unit to its specified operating level after a drain.
