Overview
MOTUL MULTI DCTF is a High Performance synthetic Technosynthese® lubricant specially engineered for Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) gearboxes, suitable for both Double-Dry Clutch and Double-Wet Clutch transmission designs. It is especially suitable for DCT units supplied by ZF, GETRAG or BORG WARNER used by VW-AUDI-SEAT-SKODA (DSG/S-tronic), BMW (DKG), Porsche (PDK), Ford (Powershift), Opel (DSG), PSA Peugeot-Citroën (DCS) and Renault (EDC, DC4), Nissan (GR6). It is not suitable for mechanical gearboxes requiring a low-viscosity SAE 75W / API GL-4 gear oil at low temperature — MOTUL GEAR POWER FE 75W is directed for that case instead.
Compatibility
Compatibility information not available.
Key Features
- Fuel economy via optimized friction in DCT transmissions
- Anti-shudder performance, avoids vibrations on engine flywheel
- Protects numerous, compact, heavily loaded gears
- Superior transmission response: smooth shift feeling, no torque interruption between shifts
- Improves DCT response at cold temperature
- Extended lifetime, better shear stability at hot temperature, oxidation resistance
- Anti-wear, anti-corrosion, anti-foam
Applications
- Dry DCT and Wet DCT gearboxes in passenger cars
- Broad OE fitment across VW Group, BMW, Porsche, Ford, PSA, Renault, Nissan and other DCT-equipped vehicles (see Specifications — OEM Recommendations & Performance Levels)
- NOT suitable for mechanical gearboxes needing SAE 75W / API GL-4 gear oil — MOTUL GEAR POWER FE 75W is directed for that case instead

Directions for Use
Confirm DCT type (Dry or Wet clutch) and OEM fluid requirement before use — not suitable for mechanical gearboxes needing SAE 75W/API GL-4 gear oil. Can be mixed only with similar lubricants. Refer to the vehicle manufacturer's owner's manual for the correct fill procedure and capacity. Change interval: according to the manufacturer's recommendations, adapted to your own use. Dispose of used fluid responsibly at an authorised collection point.
Installation and usage guidance is general reference only. Manufacturer instructions take precedence. Visitors uncertain about installation or use should seek professional advice.
FAQ
What colour is Motul Multi DCTF?
Amber.
Does Motul Multi DCTF work in both Dry and Wet DCTs?
Yes — it is explicitly suitable for both Dry DCT and Wet DCT gearbox designs.
Can Motul Multi DCTF replace manual transmission gear oil?
No — it is explicitly not suitable for mechanical gearboxes requiring SAE 75W / API GL-4 gear oil; MOTUL GEAR POWER FE 75W is the manufacturer's recommendation for that purpose.
