1 Answers
Dry dual-clutch transmissions do require transmission fluid replacement. Dual-clutch transmissions are a common type of automatic transmission, and it is generally recommended to replace the transmission fluid every two years or approximately 40,000 kilometers. Dual-clutch transmissions come in wet and dry types. In wet dual-clutch transmissions, the clutch plates are immersed in transmission fluid, whereas dry dual-clutch transmissions have clutch plates that are not submerged in transmission fluid. The replacement intervals vary for different vehicle models. Below are the recommended transmission fluid replacement cycles: Manual Transmission: Manual transmission fluid is typically recommended for replacement every three years or approximately 100,000 kilometers. Automatic Transmission: Automatic transmission fluid is generally recommended for replacement every two years or approximately 40,000 kilometers. Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT): CVT fluid is usually recommended for replacement every two years or approximately 60,000 kilometers.
