Liqui Moly Dual Clutch Gear Oil 8100 1 L — DCT gear & hydraulic oil, synthetic for smooth shifting and wear protection

Liqui Moly Dual Clutch Gear Oil 8100 is a 1-liter synthetic oil formulated specifically to deliver stable clutch engagement, robust wear protection, and reliable low-temperature flow in dual-clutch transmissions.

Designed from advanced synthetic base oils and shear-resistant viscosity improvers, this lubricant targets the unique demands of modern DCT (dual-clutch transmission) systems used across Audi and VW Group vehicles and others specifying compatible approvals. It combines friction conditioners and anti-wear chemistry to maintain consistent shifting behavior, protect gears and synchronizers, and resist breakdown under thermal stress. Use according to your vehicle manufacturer’s prescribed specifications and part numbers.

How does this oil improve shifting performance in DCT systems?

Dual-clutch transmissions require fluids that manage friction precisely for smooth, repeatable clutch engagement. Liqui Moly Dual Clutch Gear Oil 8100 includes friction modifiers and stable viscosity additives that preserve clutch behavior throughout temperature changes and heavy use.

• Friction reducers tuned for consistent clutch bite
• Shear-stable viscosity index improvers to avoid thinning
• Good low-temperature flow for cold-start shifting
• Maintains predictable shift feel over service intervals

Will this oil protect gears and internal components under heavy use?

The formulation emphasizes anti-wear performance and oxidation resistance to protect gears, synchronizers, and hydraulic components. Its additives form protective films that reduce metal-to-metal contact and slow ageing, preserving parts and extending service life when used as directed.

• High-performance anti-wear additives for load protection
• Oxidation-stable base oils to resist breakdown at high temperatures
• Reduced deposit formation to keep hydraulic passages clean
• Compatibility with common DCT materials and seals

Is this lubricant suitable for cold climates and low-temperature starts?

Yes—this oil delivers very good low-temperature characteristics so clutches and gear trains can engage cleanly in cold weather. The low-viscosity behavior at low temperatures helps pumps and actuators move fluid quickly during start-up.

• Excellent cold-flow properties for fast lubrication on start
• Maintains viscosity balance for dependable clutch action
• Helps prevent delayed engagement or harsh shifts when cold
• Reduces wear during the critical warm-up phase

Which vehicle specifications and part numbers is this compatible with?

Liqui Moly Dual Clutch Gear Oil 8100 meets several manufacturer approvals and is recommended for vehicles requiring specific DCT specifications. Always verify the vehicle’s handbook or service information before use to ensure exact compatibility.

• Suitable for systems calling for VW G 052 182 and VW G 052 529
• Meets Ford WSS-M2C936-A requirement where specified
• Also applicable for selected Chrysler and Volvo systems when listed
• Follow manufacturer guidance for shared oil-supply DCTs

Who is this for: Liqui Moly Dual Clutch Gear Oil 8100 is aimed at owners, technicians, and fleet managers running modern dual-clutch transmissions—particularly Audi and VW Group vehicles—that require a performance-oriented synthetic DCT fluid. It’s a practical choice if your car’s service manual lists the compatible approvals, if you need dependable low-temperature shifting, or if you want an oil engineered to resist shear, protect gears, and maintain clutch feel during demanding driving conditions. Always cross-check the vehicle specification and change intervals before use.
