Synthetic DCT 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, minimizINGTHEINTERRUPTIONOFPOWERANDIMPROVINGPERFORMANCEANDEFlCIENCY

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.
DATA SHEET
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.

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

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.
