Hopefully some help on page 156 onwards --> VW Transporter 2016+ - 6-speed manual gearbox 0A5 | Free Download
For the oil spec it refers to ETKA so dealer can get up to date spec for your vehicle.
For general information see SSP320 ---> SSP 320 - 6-Speed Manual Gearbox 0A5 where the following is mentioned (still would double check at dealer):

Top tip - make sure you can undo the filler plug before you undo the drain plug. A few 911 owners have come unstuck with this one on 15/20 year old cars. A T6 is fairly new so hopefully not an issue but sage advice IMHO.
I changed mine last Christmas along with engine oil and all filters. I have one of the notchier gearboxes so was hoping that fresh oil would help. Unsurprisingly there was no real change to the shifting!
I bought 3 x 1 litre bottles but had to put every drop in before it reached the edge of the fill hole. On level ground too.

I've always taken it to the tip. My local "recycling" centre in Portsmouth has always had a waste oil container so it's easy. They even keep the containers if you want so once I have decanted the old oil back into the new bottles I can just dump the whole lot there.
Ah, thanks! I’m in Hampshire and find that the “recycling centres” (what we used to call “the tip”) have become almost obtuse in their elevated fussiness!
As for social distancing the cars (every 2nd parking bay only) while the humanoids pass each other in close proximity….oh, how I chuckled at officialdom on steroids!!!

Hi, do you know how to change the oil if I don't have a filler screw?
so vw says with the reverse sensor
So does that mean the oil has to be carefully measured to go back in? The filler hole is usually sets the level too.
the only option is to measure it. but vw says 2.7l and someone added 0.1
Measure what comes out in a jug, hopefully it should be near the 2.7ltrs quoted, gives you an idea of what should go back in, unless you've a leak
What is your experience with aftermarket gearbox oils? the original is G052527A2. 3xbottles for 160euro
@BigYoeKing - did you end up refilling via the reverse sensor?What is your experience with aftermarket gearbox oils? the original is G052527A2. 3xbottles for 160euro
Can anyone confirm is this the reverse sensor in image attached?
this is the sensor for neutral. the second one is bigger and higher.
I removed a little over 2.9 litres from my T6, 6 Speed gearbox today & refilled via the neutral position sensor had to do it regardless as my passenger side driveshaft seal was weeping, the colour of the oil was horrendous and smelt very burnt.
