I have a3 manual. What’s the service schedule on gearbox oil. What are peoples thoughts on changing gear oil, I feel people never really change it as much as it should.
What are requirements for changing it a3, drain and refill until flows out of top bung?
 
Manual gearbox oil is usually “sealed for life” but if in doubt, download the My Audi app for your phone and register it with your car. Once it’s up and running, the service section of the app will show you when the intervals are for the various components on your vehicle.
 
I changed mine at 50,000 miles.
2.0 tdi, 150, 6 spd manual
I used Fuchs TITAN SINTOFLUID FE SAE 75W
Very straight forward drain and refill.

Agreed.

Back in the day when I had manuals, I’d change the gearbox oil every 50k miles. Does make a difference.
