Zak, It has 140K on it and the trans fluid has never been changed. I'm a bit worried about doing a complete change; I want to see if there are any deleterious effects with the partial. I also don't have a good place to work, and no alternative transportation if something does wrong.
Did this...
You are both suggesting overfilling the transmission. PakPro, I can see how a little extra would protect the tranny, but how much over? And why does it hurt the gas mileage?

So I have a dumb question: How should I do this 'Italian tune up'? My 2002 Beetle TDI has an automatic transmission; I'd know how to do this in a stick. Should I downshift it for a certain amount of time? Or should I go over 80 mph (which on the highway around here...

Very helpful chart, freebuilder. I also haven't figured in the slight change in the odometer reading, which will actually be 1.3% off. May be better to stick to OEM; I'm not sure if the the difference will be noticeable anyway.
