Vehicle Fitment

Universal - suitable for dual clutch transmissions (DCT), DSG, and PDK gearboxes in automotive and commercial vehicles where any of the following specifications are required: VW G 052 182/G 052 529/G 055 529, BMW DCTF-1/DCTF-1+/DCTF-2/MTF LT-5, Ford WSS-M2C 218-A/WSS-M2C 936-A, MB 236.21/236.22/236.24, Porsche 999.917.080.00, or any other approval listed below
Also suitable for certain manual gearboxes where DCT fluid specifications are required - verify with your vehicle or transmission manufacturer's documentation
Notable OEM cross-references: VW G 052 182 / G 052 529 / G 055 529 / G 055 536 (DSG); BMW 83 22 0 440 214 / 83 22 2 147 477 / 83 22 2 148 578 / 83 22 2 148 579 (M DCT); Porsche 999.917.080.00 / 999.917.080.01 (PDK); MB A 000 989 04 03 / A 000 989 20 02
Always consult your vehicle owner's manual or transmission service documentation to confirm the correct fluid specification before ordering

Fitment Notes

Must be used unmixed - optimal effectiveness is only guaranteed when used in pure form; do not mix with other DCT fluids, gear oils, or ATF fluids of any specification
Especially suited for DCTs with a shared oil supply for clutch, synchronization, gear set, and hydraulic control - a single common sump design places particularly demanding requirements on the fluid to simultaneously handle all four lubrication and friction roles
Always follow the specifications and instructions from the transmission or vehicle manufacturer - this fluid does not supersede manufacturer-specified service intervals or procedures
Sold as a single 1-liter plastic can - purchase the required quantity for your DCT service based on your vehicle's fluid capacity; also available in 5L (20116) and 20L (20046)
Made in Germany

Features

Fully synthetic DCT gear oil based on HC-synthesis (hydrocracked) base oils - specially developed to meet the simultaneous and conflicting lubrication demands of modern dual clutch transmissions, which require the fluid to lubricate gears and bearings, actuate wet clutch packs, synchronize gear engagement, and control hydraulic shift functions within a single common oil circuit
Extremely shear-stable viscosity index improvers - dual clutch transmissions subject transmission fluid to intense mechanical shear forces in the gear mesh and clutch pack interface; the shear-resistant VI improvers in Dual Clutch Gear Oil 8100 prevent viscosity loss under sustained high-shear conditions, maintaining consistent protective film thickness throughout the service interval
Excellent coupling performance - the precisely formulated friction modifier package delivers the correct wet clutch friction characteristics for smooth, controlled clutch engagement and release without shudder or slip, critical for the sharp, seamless gear changes DCTs are engineered to produce
Modern anti-wear additives - protect DCT synchronizers, gear teeth, bearings, and hydraulic control components against wear throughout extended oil service intervals, reducing maintenance frequency without sacrificing protection
Stable friction modifiers - maintains consistent friction characteristics over the fluid's full service life, preventing clutch shudder and shift quality degradation as the fluid ages
Excellent viscosity-temperature properties - maintains consistent fluid performance from cold start through sustained high-temperature operation, including spirited driving and track use in performance vehicles
Very good low-temperature properties - ensures fast oil flow and clutch actuation response at cold start, reducing DCT hesitation and shudder in cold ambient conditions
Excellent aging and oxidation resistance - the HC-synthetic base stock resists thermal and chemical degradation, extending the effective service interval of the fluid
Broad multi-OEM specification coverage - spans VW Group DSG, BMW M DCT/DKG, Porsche PDK, Mercedes-Benz, Ford, Chrysler, Jaguar/Land Rover, Fiat, Mitsubishi, PSA/Peugeot-Citroen, Renault, Volvo, Eaton, and ZF TE-ML 11 in a single formulation
Manufactured exclusively in Germany to Liqui Moly's strict quality and R&D standards

Product Description

Liqui Moly 20044 is the Dual Clutch Gear Oil 8100 - a fully synthetic, HC-synthesis DCT gear oil developed specifically for dual clutch transmissions (DCT, DSG, PDK) across a wide range of European, domestic, and Asian vehicle platforms. Sold in a 1-liter plastic can. Also available in 5L (20116) and 20L (20046). Must be used unmixed - do not mix with other DCT, gear, or ATF fluids of any specification.

Dual clutch transmissions place uniquely demanding requirements on transmission fluid, particularly in designs with a shared oil circuit for wet clutch actuation, gear lubrication, synchronization, and hydraulic control. The fluid must simultaneously deliver gear and bearing lubrication, precise wet clutch friction characteristics, synchronizer compatibility, and hydraulic stability - requirements that are partially contradictory and demand a purpose-engineered formulation. Dual Clutch Gear Oil 8100 addresses this through a combination of shear-resistant viscosity index improvers (maintaining viscosity under high-shear gear mesh conditions), modern anti-wear additives, and a stable friction modifier package calibrated for wet clutch performance. OEM specification coverage spans VW Group DSG (G 052 182, G 052 529, G 055 529, G 055 536), BMW M DCT/DKG (DCTF-1/1+/2, MTF LT-5), Porsche PDK (999.917.080.00/01), Mercedes-Benz 236.21/22/24, Ford WSS-M2C 218-A/936-A, Jaguar/Land Rover, Chrysler, Fiat, PSA, Renault, Volvo, and ZF TE-ML 11.
