DCT ATF Fluid

Avana DCT ATF fluid is produced with high-grade base oil and advanced additive packages using cutting-edge technology to provide performance enhancements for all kinds of dual-clutch operations. The DCT ATF fluid has a density of 0.845 kg/l at  15°C and viscosity varies from 7.3 cSt at 100°C to 33.8 cSt at 40°C. The high viscosity index of the fluid helps to maintain perfect lubrication in different temperature conditions. The density of the DCT ATF fluid helps to maintain better contamination control making the lubrication process more effective. 

The DCT ATF fluid is formulated for use in a variety of passenger cars and vans with a dual clutch. The synthetic technology used in the formulation of DCT ATF oil provides a required level of friction control for the seamless operation and prolonged lifespan of dual-clutch designs. The fluid has a pour point of -42°C making the fluid seamlessly flow even in the lowest temperatures. The 200°C flash point of the oil prevents the oil from ignition and adversely affects the lubrication during higher temperature conditions. The excellent anti-oxidants and anti-wear properties of Avana DCT ATF fluid balance all the necessary performance requirements. The higher-quality additives in the oil prevent foam formation and corrosion, ensuring longevity and synchronizer durability. 

Avana DCT ATF oil can be used in a wide range of passenger cars and vans including but not limited to VW (TL 052 182 /TL 052 529), BMW (Getrag)(83 22 2 148 578/ 83 22 2 148 579/ 83 22 0 440 214/ 83 22 2 147 477), MB 236.21(001 989 85 03), Ford M2C936A, Porsche (Oil No. 999.917.080.00), Volvo (1161838 / 1161839), Renault Getrag (BOT 450), Ford/Nissan M2C936A (BOT 341). 

Another important characteristic of Avana DCT ATF fluid is its compatibility with seals making the seal reliable and long-lasting. Avana DCT ATF fluid is the best choice when it comes to a premium, fully synthetic transmission fluid for your vehicle.

DCT ATF Fluid Features

Avana DCT ATF fluid is prominent in providing longevity and reliability to your dual-transmission system. Our fluid’s optimum stability to aging guarantees that it retains its integrity over time, contributing to prolonged performance and sustainable efficiency.

2. Stability Against Oxidation

Another key feature of our DCT ATF oil is its excellent oxidation resistance. This characteristic ensures the enduring quality and dependability of our product. The anti-oxidants in the fluid prevent the formation of harmful deposits, maintaining the fluid’s purity and ensuring the smooth performance of the dual transmission system.

3. Shear Stability

Maintaining viscosity under various temperature conditions solely depends on shear stability. With very good shear stability, our DCT ATF fluid provides consistent performance and protection against viscosity breakdown thereby enhancing the lifespan of transmission.

4. Water Resistance

One of the standout features of our DCT ATF fluid is its excellent water resistance. This property provides durability and protection to the transmission components. It reduces the chances of premature wear and tear ensuring the vehicle’s smooth operation even under challenging circumstances.

5. Low Pour Point

Avana DCT ATF oil guarantees versatility by exhibiting very good low-temperature properties. The low pour point prevents oil from thickening resulting in efficient circulation and lubrication under extremely low temperatures. It enhances the fluidity and functionality of the transmission system. This feature is highly beneficial during cold starts, ensuring your transmission system is protected from the outset.

6. Friction Properties and Clutch Performance

The exceptional friction properties of our DCT ATF oil contribute to the increased clutch performance. The fluid creates a protective shield between the moving components of the system to prevent the friction that may occur during the system’s functioning. The anti-friction properties result in smooth gear transitions and a responsive driving experience.

7. Compatible with Seals

Avana DCT ATF fluid is formulated with the property of compatibility with seals. This compatibility ensures a tight seal, preventing leakage and preserving the efficiency of the system.

8. Prevention Against Wear, Corrosion, and Foam

Avana DCT ATF oil is not only wear-resistant but also combats corrosion and foam formation. The anti-foaming properties in the oil prevent the formation of foams and enhance the durability of the transmission system. The corrosion inhibitors guard against all forms of corrosion and thereby enhance the system performance and extend the lifespan of critical components. This comprehensive protection reduces the risk of costly repairs.
