The 2012 VW Jetta 2.5 SE requires Dexron VI Transmission Fluid with a capacity of 7 quarts. Similar to oil, transmission fluid acts as a lubricant to protect the transmission's components from heat damage. The cost of a transmission fluid change for your Jetta typically ranges from $130 to $150 for labor, with parts priced at $90. It is recommended to have your transmission fluid replaced every 50,000 miles. Signs that indicate the need for a transmission fluid change include grinding noises from the transmission, difficulty shifting gears, slippage during gear changes, sudden unexplained surges, and delayed movement after shifting into gear.
