Does the Volkswagen dry dual-clutch transmission require oil change?
1 Answers
Volkswagen dry dual-clutch transmission requires gear oil replacement. It should be changed every 4 years or 60,000 kilometers, with 2L of gear oil needed for each change. Volkswagen offers two types of transmission oil: one is mechanical gear oil (gear oil), and the other is transmission lubricating oil (transmission oil). The transmission lubricating oil does not need to be replaced. Regardless of the type of transmission, oil change is necessary. Below is an introduction to gear oil: 1. The function of gear oil: Gear oil mainly refers to the lubricating oil for transmissions and rear axles. It differs from engine oil in terms of usage conditions, composition, and performance. Gear oil primarily serves to lubricate gears and bearings, prevent wear and rust, and assist in heat dissipation for gears. 2. The purpose of gear oil: Automotive gear oil is used in gear transmission mechanisms such as steering gears, transmissions, and drive axles. Due to the high surface pressure during gear transmission, gear oil plays a crucial role in lubricating gears, resisting wear, cooling, heat dissipation, preventing corrosion and rust, cleaning, and reducing gear surface impact and noise.
