What Oil Does a DSG Transmission Use?
1 Answers
DSG transmissions use ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid), not gear oil. The transmission fluid in a DSG should be changed every 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. The replacement method is as follows: 1. Start the engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature; 2. Remove the drain plug to allow the transmission fluid to flow out; 3. After the old transmission fluid has completely drained, screw the plug back in; 4. Add new transmission fluid; 5. Start the car and perform gear shifting operations; 6. Check if the transmission fluid level is normal. The functions of transmission fluid are: 1. Keeping the shifting system clean; 2. Extending the service life of the transmission components; 3. Providing effective lubrication even at low temperatures; 4. Reducing fluid loss under severe operating conditions.
