This gear oil is recommended for use in the manual transaxles of the Bus, Vanagon, and Eurovan, as well as the differential sections of automatic transaxles for those same models.

Seems good

Best around!

Quality oil for your vw, a must during any service!

Nice replacement!

If you don’t know when the last time was that your transmission oil was changed you need to do it. I had a grind in second gear that was eventually resolved because I changed my oil. This stuff works great!
