Gearbox oil

[Bazzawiz]

Hi I'm looking to change my gearbox oil but after asking 2 vw dealerships, they gave me 2 different numbers G052527L2 & G055512A2 and would not not tell me what grade of oil it should be I think 75w80?
My car is a 2011 golf mk6 GT TDI.
Anyone know which is right or what alternative I can use.

cheers

G055512A2 is for the 5 speed manual, G052527A2 is for the 6 speed manual.

G052527L2 is not a VW part number as far as I can tell.

Why run OEM gearbox fluid when you can run MOTUL?

Why run OEM gearbox fluid when you can run MOTUL?

Because OEM is SAE 75w GL-4 and Motul doesn't make a fluid in that spec (Motylgear 75w80 would probably work, but I've never tried it).

I do run Motul 75w-90 in my rear diff and bevel box, though.

they don't even have MOTUL listed...

You sure I can use MOTUL?

The shop that did my car's 6MT gearbox oil change used MOTUL, not sure about the spec

MOTUL "MQL1618"

What MOTUL product is this? I can't even find it online -_-

I got the gearbox oil changed in 2021 (September), I drove about 15,000KM since then.

I plan to change it again next year... 2023 (March).
