Description

Liqui Moly Dual Clutch Transmission Oil 8100 is a fluid for automated gearboxes with two wet clutches. The data sheet gives hydrocracked base oils.

It has no car-maker approvals; the manufacturer claims compliance with BMW DCTF-1, BMW DCTF-1+ and BMW DCTF-2, VW G 052 182 and VW G 052 529, MB 236.21, MB 236.22 and MB 236.24, Ford WSS-M2C936-A, Renault DW5 and Renault DW6, PSA 9734 S2, Volvo 1161838, Porsche 999.917.080.00 and ZF TE-ML 11, and several factory part numbers.

Typical figures: viscosity 6.6 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 175, pour point -48 °C. Pack sizes from 1 to 205 litres. It is only for gearboxes where the car maker specifies this type of DCT fluid.

Application

Wet dual-clutch gearboxes in which the clutches, synchronisers, gears and hydraulics share one oil supply: six- and seven-speed VW Group DSG units, BMW DCT, Ford PowerShift, Renault EDC, and Getrag and Porsche units.

Worth knowing

The list for this fluid mixes specification names, such as BMW DCTF-1 or ZF TE-ML 11, with original part numbers, and the data sheet requires you to follow the gearbox or car maker’s instructions, so the number from the service data of the particular gearbox is your guide. Even within one make the numbers diverge: the VW numbers linked here are G 052 182, G 052 529, G 052 536, G 053 013, G 055 529 and G 055 536, while Liqui Moly assigns G 052 175 and G 055 175, for Haldex all-wheel-drive couplings, to Multi-disc Clutch Oil, and G 052 180 and G 052 516, for CVTs, to Top Tec ATF 1400. The picture is similar at Mercedes-Benz: MB 236.21, MB 236.22 and MB 236.24 are recorded here, while MB 236.20 belongs to the CVT fluid ATF 1400.

Before filling, the data sheet advises shaking the fluid well, and notes that it works best only when not mixed with other fluids. As for who answers for each part of such a list, that is the subject of the article on long specification lists on gearbox fluid cans.
