The number of vehicles with automatic transmission or automated manual transmission is constantly increasing. Worldwide, two out of three registered vehicles are equipped with this technology. To meet the needs of these systems, LIQUI MOLY had developed the Dual Clutch Gear Oil 8100. The range of applications for this successful product is now being expanded and can be used in almost all wet dual-clutch transmissions.

“The goal was to have as much vehicle coverage as possible,” says LIQUI MOLY Application Engineer Reiner Schönfelder about the development of Dual Clutch Gear Oil 8100. To ensure that the great advantage of this oil is retained, the German lubricant specialist is expanding its claim. In this way, it can be used in more than 90% of vehicles with wet-running dual-clutch transmissions on the European automotive market.

The special composition of extremely shear-stable viscosity index improvers, wear protection additives and constantly hard-wearing friction modifiers ensures excellent shifting under all conditions. This is particularly noticeable in city traffic when the transmission is subjected to significantly higher loads than on long journeys.

A conscious decision was made to forgo a new product and instead rely on the existing one. “The variety of lubricants is already huge. Wherever we can, we make it as simple and clear as possible for workshops and retailers,” says Reiner Schönfelder. 

Gear oil is a wearing part. As the running time increases, the shifting quality gradually decreases. This can lead to shift jolts or clutch slippage. “Lifetime filling is obsolete,” says the LIQUI MOLY expert. “A transmission fluid also reaches its performance peak and then it needs to be changed.” Previously extremely time-consuming, the task of flushing and changing the lubricant in the transmission is now easier and more thorough, thanks to modern technology. For example, the Gear Tronic III system is a proven device for an automatic transmission fluid service including cleaning with a special additive.

New field of application for LIQUI MOLY Dual Clutch Gear Oil 8100 Meets the requirements of numerous vehicle and transmission manufacturers, such as BMW DCTF-1/DCTF-1+/DCTF-2, Chrysler Power Shift, Citroen DCS, Ford Power Shift / F-DC, Getrag DCT/DCTF/TF DCT-3, Jaguar/Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz (DCT), Mitsubishi TC-SST, Peugeot DCS, Porsche, Renault EDC-6, Renault EDC-7, VW, Seat, Skoda, Audi (DSG 6 and 7 gears), Volvo Power Shift, ZF, etc.

Dual Clutch Gear Oil 8100 is now available from LIQUI MOLY stockists.
