https://www.ravenol.de/en/product/ge...-atf-pdk-fluid Some compelling data here even if it is from Ravenol: https://www.ravenol.de/en/oiltests/r...enol-pdk-fluid Note it should be this PDK fluid not the other DCT fluid they offer. This one lists BMW-MTF-LT-5. I would try this or genuine Pentosin FFL-3 if you can't get the other fluids. Actually, I like this fluid better than the regular Motul DCTF on the spec sheet anyway. I am running the Motul High Torque DCTF and it seems to have made my cold shifting worse but hot is better. I can only say seems because I did change it as temperatures were dropping. |

But imo a good synthetic oil shouldn't have issues in the cold. On the stock fluid I noticed it performed significantly better in the cold weather vs. then hot summer, so that probably means the stock oil might be getting too thin in the hot summer. I'm hoping redline dctf will be able to bridge the gap and keep the performance good in the summer and the winter.

Just looking for any updates from people using the Redline DCTF in a manual trans. I'm at 23k and gear changes have become a bit notchy (more than normal). I occasionally need to put it in neutral to engage 1st gear.

I'm now at 135K km and still the issue selecting 1st gear when stationary hasn't happened once with the Redline fluid (last 50K km). I haven't researched what change intervals should be but I first put it in at 85K, changed at 110K and will probably do again shortly even though I don't feel any deterioration in shifting. |

Note that I also have AutoSolutions SSK, which is, IMHO - one of the best mods you can do for this car! Shout out to F87source who has been an invaluable source (to me personally and many other forum members)
