Gartz DCTF – Dual-clutch transmission fluid (DSG, DCT) for VW, Audi, and BMW vehicles.

What is DCT transmission fluid?

Dual Clutch Transmission Fluid (DCT) is a specialized fluid for dual-clutch transmissions, commonly found in:

DSG (Volkswagen, Audi)

DCT (BMW, Mercedes, Hyundai, Kia)

This type of gearbox combines:

The gear shifting speed is as fast as a manual transmission.

Convenience level similar to automatic transmission.

And especially:

Use a wet clutch or a dry clutch.

The oil is required to both lubricate and control friction.

DCT requires oil withextremely high accuracy in friction and temperature

When should I change the DCT transmission fluid?

You should check if your vehicle shows any of the following signs:

The car vibrates when shifting gears.

jerking when running slowly

The gear shifting is not smooth.

The car has driven over 40,000 – 60,000 km without an oil change.

This is a sign that the oil has lost its ability to control the clutch.

What causes DSG transmissions to jerk and vibrate?

In reality, in Vietnam:

Oil degrades due to high temperatures.

Driving in heavy traffic (DCT is very sensitive to traffic jams)

Using the wrong type of DCT oil.

Then:

The clutch is not engaging or disengaging correctly.

friction is deflected

rising temperatures

Consequence:

vibrating car

jerking when shifting gears

Clutch wear

DCT transmissions are very prone to premature failure if the wrong fluid is used.

Which vehicles are Gartz DCTF compatible with?

Volkswagen, Audi DSG

BMW DCT (DKG)

Mercedes DCT

Ford Powershift

Hyundai, Kia DCT

DSG 6-stage, 7-stage

DCT wet clutch and dry clutch

DCTF is typically compatible with many major OEM standards such as VW, BMW, Ford, etc.

Quick Application Panel

Why is DCT more "demanding" than CVT?

The DCT transmission operates based on:

dual clutch

continuous gear shifting

The heat generated is very high.

If the oil is not the right one:

Clutch engaged incorrectly

tremors

overheat

leading to:

clutch wear

Mechatronic error

The repair costs are very high.

The solution is used correctly.

For DCT vehicles in Vietnam:

Change the oil regularly every 30,000 – 50,000 km.

Do not use AT or CVT oil as a substitute.

Choose the correct DCT standard.

The Gartz DCTF offers:

Smoother gear shifting

Reduce vibration

thermal stability

clutch protection

Gartz's perspective

DCT is a "high-performance but sensitive" transmission.

In reality, in Vietnam:

Running slowly often → overheats easily

Traffic jam → clutch working continuously

Oil degrades very quickly.

Besides:

Many garages confuse AT and DCT.

Using the wrong oil will cause the car to vibrate immediately.

From garage experience:

Slight vibrations in the car are a very early sign.

If you use the correct oil, the improvement will be significant.

If left for too long, the clutch must be replaced.

Actual cost:

Oil change: several million VND

Replacing the DCT clutch: tens of millions of VND.

Gartz recommends the following solution:

Regular oil checks

Use the correct DCT oil.

Don't waste money in the wrong places.

Conclude

DCT oil plays an extremely important role.

If the vehicle shows signs of:

rung

jerk

The gear shifting is not smooth.

You should have your oil checked and changed soon to avoid major repair costs.
