MOTUL Multi DCTF – Dual-Clutch Transmission Fluid

MOTUL Multi DCTF – Dual-Clutch Transmission Fluid

MOTUL Multi DCTF is a Technosynthese® high-performance transmission fluid developed for dual-clutch transmissions (DCT). It is suitable for applications using wet or dry clutch systems, subject to the manufacturer's specifications.

A dual-clutch transmission requires a suitable fluid to lubricate its internal components and ensure proper operation of the transmission and clutch systems. Using a lubricant that does not meet the gearbox requirements may affect gear shifting, clutch operation and the protection of internal transmission components.

What is MOTUL Multi DCTF used for?

MOTUL Multi DCTF is intended for the maintenance and servicing of dual-clutch automatic transmissions, commonly referred to as DCT, DSG or EDC depending on the manufacturer and transmission design.

Its formulation is intended for transmissions where a dedicated DCT transmission fluid is specified. It should not automatically be considered suitable for every automatic transmission, CVT or conventional manual gearbox.

Wet or Dry Dual-Clutch Transmissions

Wet Clutch DCT

In a wet-clutch dual transmission, the clutch assemblies operate in a lubricated environment. The transmission fluid therefore contributes to the lubrication and operation of the various transmission components.

Dry Clutch DCT

Dry-clutch dual-clutch transmissions operate according to a different principle. Selecting a fluid that precisely matches the transmission requirements is therefore essential. Compatibility with the exact gearbox fitted to the vehicle should always be checked.

Why Choose the Correct DCT Fluid?

A DCT gearbox is a complex mechanical, hydraulic and electronic system. Using an unsuitable lubricant may potentially affect the transmission's operating characteristics, particularly gear shifting, clutch engagement and the lubrication of internal components.

Selecting a fluid that meets the requirements of the dual-clutch transmission helps avoid using a product that is not suited to the gearbox during a transmission service or fluid replacement.

Transmission Fluid for Sports and Premium Vehicles

MOTUL Multi DCTF is particularly relevant for owners and professionals maintaining vehicles equipped with a compatible dual-clutch transmission. It can be used as part of a scheduled maintenance operation when the manufacturer specifies a fluid matching its characteristics.

For sports and premium vehicles, following the manufacturer's fluid specification is particularly important. Transmission fluid should not be selected solely according to the vehicle model or general gearbox type.

Compatibility and Important Information

Before purchasing MOTUL Multi DCTF, identify the exact transmission fitted to the vehicle and compare its requirements with the MOTUL Multi DCTF technical specifications.

This product should only be used when its characteristics and applications correspond to the requirements of the gearbox. If the manufacturer specifies another transmission fluid, that product should be used instead.

DCT Transmission Maintenance and Fluid Change

Regular transmission maintenance helps monitor the condition of the fluid, identify potential leaks and check the overall operation of the gearbox. When a DCT transmission fluid change is required, the correct fluid, quantity and recommended service procedure should be followed.

Depending on the vehicle and transmission, additional components such as the transmission filter, seals or other system components may also need to be inspected or replaced.
