How often should the dual-clutch transmission fluid be changed?
1 Answers
The transmission fluid should be changed approximately every 60,000 kilometers. Most dual-clutch transmissions use two types of fluids: gear oil and transmission fluid. Both fluids generally need to be replaced together during maintenance. The structure of a dual-clutch transmission is similar to that of a manual transmission, except it has an additional set of clutches and a shift control mechanism. Here is some additional information: 1. Two types of dual-clutch transmissions: one is the dry-type dual-clutch, and the other is the wet-type dual-clutch. The clutch plates in a dry-type dual-clutch are not immersed in transmission fluid, while those in a wet-type dual-clutch are. Wet-type dual-clutch transmissions generally offer better reliability and stability, can handle higher torque, and have superior heat dissipation performance. 2. Advantages of dual-clutch transmissions: The production and development costs of dual-clutch transmissions are relatively low. These transmissions feature high transmission efficiency, fast and smooth gear shifts, and are commonly used in many high-performance sports cars.
