Choose based on fluid condition and service history: a drain-and-fill replaces roughly the pan volume, while a full exchange replaces most of the systems fluid.

We inspect the fluid on your 2015 Volkswagen Passat first, then recommend the least invasive service that meets the need. A drain-and-fill can be ideal for maintenance or mildly aged fluid; an exchange is better when fluid is significantly degraded. We never default to the more expensive option without evidence.
