VW G 053 001

Specification VW G 053 001 is a Volkswagen Group requirement for transmission oils, intended for automatic gearboxes, including DSG, Tiptronic and conventional ATF, installed in VW, Audi, SEAT and Škoda models. Oil that meets this standard undergoes testing for viscosity stability over a wide temperature range, high oxidation resistance, wear protection and controlled friction behavior, ensuring smooth gear shifts and long‑lasting operation of clutches and synchronizers. The specification provides compatibility with seal and friction element materials, including polymer and metal components, without negative impact on catalysts or DPF systems, as it does not contain SAPS. XENUM products marked VW G 053 001 are suitable for both new models and older vehicles that previously required similar standards, such as VW G 053 001‑A, allowing safe oil updates without loss of compatibility. Choosing such oil guarantees optimal transmission efficiency, reduced fuel consumption and extended gearbox service life.
