Description

Motul HIGH TORQUE DCTF is a fully synthetic, ester-based fluid for highly loaded wet dual-clutch gearboxes. It is intended for racing, tuned and high-performance road cars with ZF, Getrag, BorgWarner, Tremec and Ricardo units.

With no official approvals, the fluid meets the requirements of BMW DCTF-1, BMW DCTF-1+, BMW DCTF-2, MB 236.25, Ferrari TF DCT-F3, Mitsubishi Dia Queen SSTF-1 and Pentosin FFL-2, FFL-3, FFL-4 and FFL-7 fluids; the listed designations also include DSG, S-tronic, Renault DC4, DW5 and Renault DW6 gearboxes.

Typical figures: viscosity 6.5 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 154, pour point -69 °C. Available in 1 and 20 litres.

It is not intended for dry-clutch gearboxes.

Application

Highly loaded wet dual-clutch gearboxes (ZF, Getrag, BorgWarner, Tremec, Ricardo) in racing, tuned and high-performance road cars from Audi, BMW, Ferrari, Nissan, Porsche, VW and other makes.

Worth knowing

The codes FFL-2, FFL-3, FFL-4 and FFL-7 are Pentosin fluid names, and the “OEM PERFORMANCES” section of the Motul data sheet sets them against various makes: FFL-7 against Alpine, FFL-4 against McLaren, FFL-3 against Porsche and Jaguar Land Rover, and FFL-2 against Bugatti. The data sheet expressly excludes ordinary automatics, CVTs and dry-clutch DCT gearboxes from its scope.

The other Motul fluid with DCTF in its name, MULTI DCTF, shares BMW DCTF-1, BMW DCTF-2, Mitsubishi Dia Queen SSTF-1, FFL-2 and FFL-3 with this one. BMW DCTF-1+, Ferrari TF DCT-F3, MB 236.25, FFL-4 and FFL-7, on the other hand, are claimed only for HIGH TORQUE DCTF, while the Ford, Fiat, BYD, Changan, Eaton PS-278, BMW DTF 1 and BMW MTF LT-5 codes appear only in MULTI DCTF. In typical figures, HIGH TORQUE DCTF has a pour point of -69 °C against -48 °C for MULTI DCTF, and 6.5 against 7.1 mm²/s at 100 °C. The article on the long specification list on a universal ATF can explains how an approval differs from a fluid maker’s claim in such lists, and why fluids for an automatic, a CVT and a wet DCT are not interchangeable.
