Does the DSG Transmission Require Oil Change?
1 Answers
DSG transmission requires oil change. According to the transmission oil replacement cycle, transmission oil has a replacement cycle, usually every 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. Manual transmission oil is replaced every 60,000 kilometers, while automatic transmission oil is replaced every 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. More information about DSG transmission is as follows: 1. DSG transmission is also called dry dual-clutch transmission, which is a manual transmission with a set of dual clutch plates and shift mechanism. 2. Automatic transmission oil in the enclosed transmission not only plays a lubricating role, but also the shift valve body of DSG and the torque converter of AT transmission require oil pressure to operate. Dirty or deteriorated transmission oil can lead to unstable oil pressure, and long-term driving can cause damage to the transmission. 3. There are two different types of transmission oil in Volkswagen's dry dual-clutch transmission: one part is used to lubricate the gears, just like a traditional manual transmission, using gear oil (also known as "differential oil"). The other part is hydraulic oil, which is used for the shift control hydraulic system.
