I want to change my manual transmission gear oil, owners manual has zero information on how much it takes and what vw spec to use. Anyone have clear info. Thanks. I called one dealer near me and they’re telling me I need 4 quarts, that seems like too much.
Yeah it was surprisingly easy on this car. Actually, its easier than any other car I have ever worked on (contrary to what everyone says about German cars). I had a NC Miata that hid the oil filter way up behind the front control arms behind a bunch of under-chassis braces. Every oil change was 10 minutes work and 30 minutes cleanup.

Castrol EDGE is recommended by leading car manufacturers. Castrol EDGE was developed using liquid titanium technology, which physically changes the behavior of the oil under pressure.
Make sure you are using oil that meets the required spec. As per the owners manual you can use 5w-30 or 5w-40 but the oil must meet the required Volkswagen Spec of "VW 502 00". All of our MK7 Golf R maintenance kits include oil that meets or exceeds this spec. Maintenace Videos for your MK7 Alltrack from DAP How to Change your OilV10Hyb.
