    Should I change my Auto transmission fluid?

    I've got an 09 VW T5 2.5l that is about to hit 60,000km's. The transmission isn't as smooth as when I first bought it, so I was wondering if I should change my ATF. Should I or shouldn't I?

    According to the sticky: 7.0L or Penrite SIN ATF
    Filled for life (Not available with 4motion)

    Does it really require 7L's? Seems like quite a lot!

    Did mine around 75K km.Will be doing again at 150K
    You will only drain about 4 litres,doing it yourself.The rest is in the torque converter.
