Description

Liqui Moly Multi-disc Clutch Oil is a special fluid for Haldex-type multi-plate clutches in all-wheel-drive systems. It is intended for Audi, Opel, Seat, Škoda, VW and Volvo cars.

The fluid holds no official approvals; the manufacturer recommends it where VW G 052 175, VW G 055 175 or VW G 060 175 is required, and for the corresponding Opel and Volvo clutches.

Typical figures: kinematic viscosity 5.7 mm²/s at 100 °C and 27.5 mm²/s at 40 °C, viscosity index 155, pour point -60 °C. Pack size 1 litre.

It is not intended for cars whose manufacturer requires VW G 065 175 fluid.

Application

Haldex-type multi-plate clutches in the all-wheel-drive systems of Audi, Opel, Seat, Škoda, VW and Volvo cars; not for cars that require VW G 065 175 fluid.

Worth knowing

The names Quattro and 4motion in this fluid’s description do not mean it is meant for every all-wheel-drive Audi or Volkswagen: in the section on applications, Liqui Moly narrows the field to systems with a Haldex clutch. Within that field, the number in the car’s service data decides. VW G 052 175, VW G 055 175 and VW G 060 175 are original Volkswagen fluid numbers, not quality classes; why a catalogue number is not a standard, and who answers for the “recommended” line, is explained in the article on specification lists for transmission fluids.

The word clutch in the name can mislead too: Dual Clutch Transmission Oil 8100 is meant for dual-clutch gearboxes, has other VW numbers, such as G 052 182 or G 055 529, and none of this fluid’s three numbers is in its list. The figures differ as well: 6.6 against 5.7 mm²/s at 100 °C, pour point -48 °C against -60 °C. Shake the can before filling; the data sheet allows mixing with the remnant of mineral oil left in the unit after draining.
