DSG Oil Change

[JuanMa]

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Before bashing a few pointers: 1- I know its recommended at 40k miles 2- checked out the search function and did not find the answer 3-Googled it and no definitive answers. Could not come up with an adequate search key word. 4- Just want your opinion on te subject 5- If its has been done before, you can eliminate the thread no problem no regrets Here goes...I have an 07 DSG equipped A3 2.0T. Tranny oil hes never been changed. It has 115,000 miles on the clock. The car has been mostly women driven on the highway to commute to work. My question is, and I'm sure it has been covered before, should I change the oil even though it has high mileage? I have shade tree mechanic friends (deals mostly VW cars) that recommend it. My dealer does not. Tranny professional shops do not also recommend the change due to mileage and slippage possibilities. What’s your take on this issue? I bought the car used at 80k miles and have been afraid to do it avoiding possible gearing slippage or something since I know it should have been done at 40K. Juan

i would do a change as in drain and fill, as well as new filter of course.

high mileage tranny that haven't been touched for awhile are sometimes recommended not to FLUSH them as that can definitely dislodge stuff.

a simple drain and fill imo is the way to go

here's the good diy writeups...
