Air Cooled 4 sp. - 2.9L (3.2 qt.) Water Cooled 4 sp. - 2.5L (2.8 qt.) Diesel 4 sp. - 2.5L (2.9 qt.) Diesel 5 sp. - 3.4L (3.8 qt.) VW specifies 80/80W/90 weight with a MIL-L-2105, or API rating of GL-4, but API GL-5 are now the most advanced gear lubes. It adds an impact additive to GL-4 to combat gear lash. Caution: There is some controversy about using GL-5 in transmissions specifying GL-4. Some manufacturers claim they should not be used, others that they supercede the previous GL-4 spec fluids. Bla bla bla and bla bla.... another scam from manufacturers. I use engine oil!!!! in all my Manual Transmission, but don't follow my example, I like to play with fire... |
