I don't want to change all the oil, but VW might have to as they have to pour in the specific amount of Boron Motor Silk (BMS). They need to remove approx 230 ml of oil and put in approx 230 ml of the BMS as replacement.
I'll leave this to them to do.

I'd save time and money by not bothering with any more of these boron silk products. The engine and gearbox oils used by VW already have very adequate anti-wear and extreme pressure additives in their formulation. I've previously looked into the claims made by the manufacturer (Advanced Lubrication Technologies) and they don't stand up to scrutiny I'm afraid.

I was kind of thinking along the same lines. If VW felt the gearbox oil needed to be of a certain type then I am sure it would have been used from new.
