VAG DQ381 DSG transmission oil service kit

AUDI, VOLKSWAGEN, SEAT, SKODA DQ381 DSG transmission oil service kit

The DQ381 is a seven-speed wet-clutch DSG transmission. Its oil lubricates and cools the gearbox and supports controlled clutch operation, making the correct fluid specification and fill level essential.

The kit contains 7 litres of model-specific DSG transmission oil, the required seals and sealing washers, and the filter when it is included as a service item in the vehicle-specific procedure.

The supplied filter is normally MANN-Filter or, depending on availability and vehicle model, an equivalent quality aftermarket product. Exact kit contents vary by vehicle.

Recommended DQ381 oil-change interval

Depending on the vehicle, the factory service schedule for a DQ381 can extend to approximately 120,000 kilometres. Our preventive recommendation is considerably shorter at approximately 60,000 kilometres.

For tuned cars, track use or other high-load operation, a 40,000–60,000 kilometre interval is sensible.

Choose AMSOIL or a quality VAG-spec oil

AMSOIL 100% Synthetic DCT Fluid is a premium full-synthetic dual-clutch transmission oil. Its carefully controlled friction characteristics support smooth shifts, while its thermal and shear stability make it a strong choice for demanding use such as track driving.

Depending on the model, the DQ381 uses a newer VAG fluid specification. We always verify from the registration or VIN that the selected oil meets the exact requirement of the vehicle.

As a more affordable option, you can choose a quality aftermarket oil meeting the required VAG specification. This option is always selected according to the transmission’s applicable OE specification and typically uses Febi or an equivalent quality brand, depending on availability.

• 7 litres of selected DSG transmission oil
• Model-specific filter when required
• Required seals and sealing washers
• Available as a delivered kit or installed at our Vantaa workshop

Change DSG oil correctly

A DSG oil change is not simply a matter of draining the old oil and pouring in new fluid. That alone does not guarantee the correct oil level or a successful service.

Depending on the transmission, the procedure may require the vehicle to be level, the oil to be at a specified temperature, the transmission and selector positions to be cycled and the oil to circulate through the hydraulic passages. The final level must then be checked within the manufacturer’s specified temperature range. An incorrect oil level can cause transmission problems even when the oil itself is correct.
