100% Synthetic DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission) Fluid
Dual-clutch transmissions (DCTs) are automatic transmissions based on the architecture of manual transmissions. The complex system essentially consists of two manual transmissions in the same housing. As one clutch is engaged, the other readies the next appropriate gear, minimizing the interruption of power and improving performance and efficiency. A specially formulated fluid is required to maintain the high-performance output of these advanced transmissions. AMSOIL 100% Synthetic DCT Fluid is designed to protect high-tech dual-clutch transmissions during the most intense, high-heat operating conditions. It provides the fast, smooth shifts drivers expect.

AMSOIL 100% Synthetic DCT Fluid is designed to protect high-tech dual-clutch transmissions during the most intense, high-heat operating conditions. It provides the fast, smooth shifts drivers expect.
Excellent Friction Durability
Dual-clutch transmissions are capable of seamless, split-second shifts but can suffer from shudder or lurching at slow speeds. AMSOIL 100% Synthetic DCT Fluid is engineered to prevent shudder in sophisticated dual-clutch transmissions. Its frictional properties provide superior protection and consistently produce fast, smooth shifts. Synthetic DCT Fluid’s exceptional durability ensures stability in stop-and-go traffic. It promotes stable synchronizer engagements, extending the life of the transmission.
Outstanding Wear Protection
AMSOIL Synthetic DCT Fluid resists the extreme heat in today’s high-temperature DCTs to provide complete protection for gears, bearings and other vital parts. Its high film strength and anti-wear/extreme-pressure additives are specifically designed to protect the metal surfaces of DCTs.
Resists Heat and Oxidation
Maintaining proper viscosity at extreme temperatures is crucial to protect the components of a dual-clutch transmission. AMSOIL Synthetic DCT Fluid provides complete protection during the intense conditions native to high-performance sports sedans and supercars.
Superior Shear Stability
Transmission fluid can shear at the molecular level as it passes between gear teeth. This leads to reduced viscosity and decreased wear protection. AMSOIL Synthetic DCT Fluid resists shear and provides consistent viscosity, even in the extreme stress of high-horsepower, high-torque applications.
- Outstanding wear protection
- Excellent performance in extreme heat and cold
- Designed to prevent shudder
What to Consider When Looking for a High-Quality Dual-Clutch Transmission Fluid
Your vehicle’s owner manual is the most reliable source for determining which dual-clutch transmission (DCT) fluid to use. Using the wrong type of fluid can cause serious issues, including component wear, overheating and poor shifting performance. If you consistently use the wrong fluid, it could result in complete transmission failure.
It’s important to check the product’s packaging to ensure the fluid is specially formulated for DCT systems, not traditional automatic or manual transmissions. DCTs need high-performance fluid that can handle high heat, provide outstanding friction consistency and allow for easy gear changes.
Before purchasing DCT fluid, it’s important to do your research. Not all fluids are created equal or offer the same level of quality and performance. Reading online reviews can provide you with valuable insights from fellow car enthusiasts who have used the products, helping you make more informed decisions for your vehicle.
AMSOIL synthetic DCT fluid is specially formulated for modern double-clutch vehicle transmissions.
