Purpose and Specifications

Authentic VAG manual gearbox oil safeguards your Volkswagen and Audi manual transmissions with premium synthetic lubrication. This 1-liter bottle of VW/Audi-spec fluid ensures smooth gear shifts, protects brass synchros from wear, and handles high-stress driving without breaking down.

It flows easily when cold for quick starts in temps down to -30°C and stays thick for protection up to 150°C, reducing friction and heat buildup during towing or spirited drives. Designed as GL-4 synthetic, it prevents corrosion and oxidation for longer transmission life compared to conventional oils.

When to Use / Replace?

Use this genuine VAG oil in 5- and 6-speed manual transmissions across VW and Audi models like Jetta, Beetle, and Golf. Though some manuals call it 'lifetime' fill, experts recommend replacing every 60,000 km or 4 years to maintain smooth shifting and avoid costly repairs.

• Inspect during oil changes or if shifting feels notchy.
• Drain and refill takes about 2-3 liters total, perfect for DIY with basic tools.
• Shelf life is 5 years unopened; store in cool, dry place.
