It is recommended to replace oil in the manual gearbox every 80,000 – 100,000 km or after 5 years of operation whichever comes first. In semi-automatic transmissions, the fluid is replaced every 60,000 km. Oil change intervals for automatic gearboxes of different designs vary even more – from thirty to several hundred thousand kilometres. Here is the step by step on how to change the ATF fluid in the TDI 4 speed 01M Automatic transmission.
