Purpose and Specifications

FEBI BILSTEIN 49700 is a dual-clutch transmission fluid (DCTF-2) engineered for modern direct-shift gearboxes in Audi, Volkswagen, Seat, Škoda, and CUPRA vehicles. This yellow fluid is not a universal oil—it is precisely formulated to meet the exact demands of your vehicle's transmission system.

This transmission fluid delivers superior thermal stability, which means it maintains consistent performance across a wide temperature range without breaking down. It prevents sludge buildup, reduces friction losses, and keeps your gearbox shifting smoothly. The fluid also provides excellent corrosion protection and resists foaming, ensuring reliable operation in all driving conditions.

Key Technical Details:

• Volume: 1 liter
• Color: Yellow
• Viscosity Grade: ATF DCT
• Meets VW DCTF-2, VW TL 52529-C, and VW G 055 529 specifications
• Compatible with 6-speed, 8-speed, and ZF automatic transmissions

When to Use / Replace?

Check your vehicle's service manual for the exact replacement interval—most modern dual-clutch transmissions require fluid checks every 40,000–60,000 km or annually, whichever comes first. Some vehicles have sealed transmissions with no scheduled fluid changes, while others may need a complete fluid change every 80,000–120,000 km depending on driving conditions.

Use this fluid if your transmission warning light appears, you notice delayed gear engagement, rough shifting, or a burning smell from the transmission. Cold weather (below –20°C) and heavy towing increase fluid stress, so monitor levels more frequently in these conditions.

Always use the exact specification your vehicle requires. Using the wrong transmission fluid can damage your gearbox and void your warranty.
