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)

Anyway, it seems to have helped a touch on my car but I didn’t have the notchy issue you do. I did have the turner rear bushing installed at time, which tightened everything up to begin with but as of a couple weeks ago that came out (went back to stock rear bushing), as a autosolutions ssk went in along with e90 clutch slave cylinder. Anyway with the fresh dctf, the ssk, and cdv delete the shifting is fantastic. |

I just bought 2 bottles of redline DCTF and it is coming soon, so I will try and remember to report back once all of my servicing and mods are installed this year.

I know you had mentioned FCP carrying Redline DCTF in a prior post. Do you know if this is a recent addition to FCP's offerings? When I ordered my diff fluid, etc back in October last year I did a search on the website and could not find it, so I ended up ordering the DCTF from ECS instead I always try to order anything I can through FCP.

Just wanted to share my feedback here. My car is just a little over 29k miles and I’ve decided to flush the fluid due to some notchy shifting between 1-2-3 gears.
I wanted to try the redline as mentioned here due to positive feedbacks but ultimately, I decided to stick with the oem fluid for now. Old fluid that was flushed was definitely dark so I’m glad I did it. Immediate improvement and changing gears are buttery smooth now and it’s consistent during cold start until the car heats up from driving. Before flushing, I would have to wait until it heats up before the gears gets a bit smooth. If your experiencing the same above, do the flush and you’ll see a big difference for sure! |
