Yes. The same 5 spd trans but earlier years took non synthetic oil. YOu may remember when I did tests on gear oil by seeing how they reacted in cool temps. The test I did on the VW oil was non synthetic. The parts dept wasn't letting me open a new bottle of the synthetic stuff. 2013 GLI Autobahn, 2010 Tiguan 4mo.
Your direct shift gearbox is engineered to give you seamless gear changes, but needs regular oil changes to keep it running most effectively.

Its maybe the age of the oil rather than the mileage, however making sure alignment is good, a good check for starting point. You could phone the Parts Dept for the latest specs on your oil.How To change Car Gear oilToolkit (affiliate) -.
