Manual transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Volkswagen Amarok, T1, T1A, T1B (EU) manual transmission fluid capacity ranges from 2,3 to 2,4 liters. Service intervals occur every 240000 km or 120 months. The data covers 2 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The Volkswagen Amarok 2.0 TDI 4Motion DPF manual transmission carries an initial fill capacity of 2.4 liters, which represents the total fluid volume required when filling a dry or overhauled unit from empty.
  • The service fill capacity for both the 125 kW and 151 kW variants of the Amarok 2.0 TDI 4Motion DPF is 2.3 liters, reflecting the slightly lower volume needed when some residual fluid remains in the transmission after a drain.
  • The 0.1-liter difference between the initial fill and service fill figures across both power outputs indicates a consistent transmission housing design shared between the 125 kW and 151 kW configurations.
  • Under normal use conditions, the manual transmission fluid change interval is set at 240,000 km or 120 months, whichever comes first, applying equally to both the 125 kW and 151 kW Amarok 2.0 TDI 4Motion DPF variants.
  • A 120-month interval corresponds to a 10-year service cycle, placing the Amarok manual transmission fluid specification in a long-life category rather than a conventional short-cycle maintenance schedule.
  • The 240,000 km distance threshold paired with the 120-month time limit means the interval is governed by whichever condition is reached first, so high-mileage use could trigger a fluid change well before the 10-year mark.
