5 speed Gearbox oil change

[superchargedpolo]

I’m planning to change the gearbox oil on my 2017 5 speed T6.
I spoke to TPS and they couldn’t confirm the quantity of oil required as “it’s sealed for life sir”. I believe it’s 2L for the 5 speed. Can anyone confirm?

Also TPS want circa £40 a litre for said oil. Does anyone know the exact spec of the oil for this gearbox so that I can cross reference a couple of other quality oil brands. I don’t mind paying for the VW stuff but TPS really do take the p@ss sometimes and I like keeping them on their toes!

Many thanks in advance.

This is the stuff I was looking at using:
Liqui Moly 75W GL4 Top Tec MTF 5100 1L Transmission Gear Oil 20842

I’ve tried for a Forum discount, doesn’t seem to be valid but they have good prices and as with ECP and others there’s always a ‘discount’ to be applied to the Cart.

Looks like this is the same spec if anyone is interested:

Just to wrap this thread up. I have purchased the above oil from Liqui Moly. It is identical to the VW specification but half the price of TPS and that’s with my trade discount! Circa £45 for 2L.
If M539 restorations on YouTube use Liqui Moly lubricants in his cars then it’s more than acceptable for my van.
