This car has Volkswagen's 01M four speed automatic transmission. Volkswagen say that the Transmission Fluid is "lifetime fluid" that never needs to be changed....but after seeing mine when I changed it, I'm going to change it every 30k miles. Anyways...its closer to a mineral hydraulic oil, its amber/clear in color rather than red. G-052-162-A2 is the spec for this fluid, you can either get it at your local VW dealer or opt for Pentosin ATF1 which you possibly might find locally (but I doubt it) or online which is what most people use when they change the fluid. DO NOT USE ANY OTHER TYPE OF FLUID! That means, no mercon/dexron or type F or anything, use only vw's specified fluids, this transmission is very picky about it. Good luck!
