How much transmission fluid does a 2015 Volkswagen Passat take?

7.4 quarts as a total fill for the 09G transmission (7.4 to 7.6 quarts across this year's engines). A drain-and-refill without removing the pan replaces roughly a third to half of that, so refill to the level check point rather than pouring in the whole figure.
