When you change the oil, how much of it can you actually get out of the tranny
percentagewise in one pass?

Similarly, do you need to do more than one change to get enough of a percentage
of the new oil, or is one change enough?

And what did you end up spending?

I ask since I haven't messed with this VW tranny, just the Rabbit/Golf/Scirroco
series.

thanks
