Volkswagen (VW) Amarok, T1, T1A, T1B (EU)

Transfer case fluid capacity & service interval

Volkswagen Amarok, T1, T1A, T1B (EU) models utilize transfer case fluid with a capacity range of 1,2 to 1,55 liters. The service interval is 240000 km or 120 months. 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 (VW) Amarok 2.0 TDI 4Motion variants, covering both the 125 kW and 151 kW outputs, share an identical transfer case fluid capacity of 1.2 liters, indicating a common transfer box unit across those two engine tunes.
  • The Amarok 3.0 TDI (177 kW) 4Motion DPF carries a transfer case fluid capacity of 1.55 liters, which is notably higher than the 1.2-liter figure seen in the 2.0 TDI configurations, reflecting a physically larger transfer box assembly suited to the higher-output engine.
  • A capacity value in the range of 1.2 to 1.55 liters is consistent with a service fill specification, meaning the amount of fluid required when draining and refilling during a scheduled service rather than a full overhaul or component replacement.
  • All three Amarok 4Motion configurations share the same change interval of 240,000 km or 120 months under normal use conditions, placing transfer case fluid changes on a very long-term maintenance schedule.
  • The 120-month interval equates to 10 years, meaning the transfer case fluid service cycle is aligned with decade-long ownership periods under normal operating conditions.
  • The normal use condition tied to the 240,000 km / 120-month interval applies uniformly across the 125 kW, 151 kW, and 177 kW Amarok 4Motion variants, with no separate severe-use interval listed in the specifications for any of the three configurations.
