Purpose and Specifications

LIQUI MOLY Dual Clutch Gear Oil 8100 (product code 20466) is a fully synthetic transmission fluid engineered specifically for dual-clutch transmissions (DCT) found in modern BMW, VW, Audi, Ford, Jaguar, Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Renault, and Volvo vehicles. This 1-liter bottle contains premium-grade oil that meets over 90% of European dual-clutch transmission requirements.

The oil delivers superior clutch control and smooth shifting performance, even under heavy city driving conditions where transmissions face constant load changes. Its advanced formula resists aging and oxidation, maintaining protective properties throughout extended service intervals.

When to Use / Replace?

Replace your transmission fluid according to your vehicle manufacturer's service schedule, typically every 60,000 to 100,000 kilometers or 4 to 6 years, whichever comes first. Check your owner's manual for exact intervals, as some modern vehicles use "fill for life" systems requiring professional service.

Use this oil if your vehicle requires any of these specifications: BMW DCTF-1/DCTF-1+/DCTF-2, VW G 052 182/G 052 529/G 055 529, Ford F-DC/WSS-M2C 218-A, Mercedes-Benz 236.21/236.24, Porsche 999.917.080.01, or equivalent OEM approvals listed in your service documentation.

The oil operates effectively in temperatures ranging from -30°C to +160°C, ensuring reliable performance in cold winters and hot driving conditions. Store unopened bottles in a cool, dry location with a shelf life of approximately 5 years from manufacture date.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can I use this oil in my manual transmission? No. This fluid is formulated exclusively for dual-clutch automatic transmissions. Using it in manual gearboxes will cause shifting problems and potential damage.
• What happens if I mix this with another transmission fluid? Mixing different transmission fluids can reduce protection and cause shifting delays or jerking. Always drain the system completely and refill with the correct specification fluid.
• How do I know if my transmission needs fluid replacement? Signs include delayed gear engagement, rough shifting, grinding noises, or a burning smell. Have a mechanic check your fluid level and condition—dark or burnt-smelling fluid indicates replacement is needed.
