Purpose and Specifications

MOTUL MULTI DCTF 20L is a high-performance synthetic transmission fluid engineered specifically for dual clutch transmissions (DCT), also known as DSG transmissions. This fluid works in both dry and wet clutch DCT systems found in modern automatic vehicles.

This transmission fluid is designed to:

• Optimize fuel economy by reducing friction in the transmission
• Prevent shuddering and vibrations during gear shifts
• Protect heavily loaded gears in compact transmission designs
• Maintain consistent performance across a wide temperature range

Operating Temperature Range: The fluid performs reliably from -45°C in cold conditions to 196°C at its flash point, ensuring smooth operation in both winter and summer driving.

Compatibility: Suitable for DCT transmissions from major manufacturers including ZF, GETRAG, and BORG WARNER. Compatible with VAG G 052 182, BMW DCTF-1, and similar OEM specifications. Always verify your vehicle's owner manual before use.

When to Use / Replace?

Follow your vehicle manufacturer's recommended service intervals for transmission fluid changes. Most modern DCT-equipped vehicles require transmission fluid inspection or replacement every 40,000 to 100,000 kilometers, depending on driving conditions and the specific vehicle model. Consult your owner's manual for exact intervals, as some vehicles have sealed transmissions with extended service life.

Use this fluid when:

• Your vehicle manufacturer specifies a low-viscosity DCT fluid
• You own a vehicle with a dual clutch or DSG automatic transmission
• Performing scheduled transmission maintenance
• Topping up transmission fluid between service intervals

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I mix MOTUL MULTI DCTF with other transmission fluids?
A: No. This fluid should only be mixed with similar lubricants of the same specification. Mixing different transmission fluids can reduce performance and damage your transmission. Always use the same fluid type for top-ups.

Q: How long does a 20L container last?
A: A 20L container is typically a bulk supply size for workshops or fleet maintenance. For a single vehicle, transmission fluid capacity ranges from 4 to 8 liters depending on the model, so one 20L container can service multiple vehicles or provide several complete fluid changes for one vehicle.

Q: Is this fluid suitable for manual transmissions?
A: MOTUL MULTI DCTF is primarily designed for dual clutch automatic transmissions. However, it may be suitable for some mechanical gearboxes requiring very low-viscosity gear oil (SAE 75W equivalent). Always check your vehicle's manual before use.
