Description
Eurol DCF 1404 is a fully synthetic transmission fluid meticulously engineered for dual-clutch transmissions (DCT), a technology initially developed in motorsports and now prevalent in vehicles from manufacturers such as VAG (Volkswagen Group), Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Volvo, and the PSA group (Peugeot, Citroën).
Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT) Overview: Eurol DCF 1404
DCT systems utilize two separate clutches: one for odd-numbered gears and another for even-numbered gears. This design facilitates seamless and rapid gear shifts, enhancing driving performance and fuel efficiency. Given the unique operational dynamics of DCTs, they require specialized lubricants that can address both the extreme pressure demands of manual transmissions and the specific friction characteristics of automatic transmission fluids (ATFs)
Key Features of Eurol DCF 1404
-
Optimal Frictional Properties: Ensures smooth engagement and disengagement of clutches, resulting in efficient power transfer and reduced wear.
-
Thermal and Oxidative Stability: Maintains consistent performance across a wide temperature range, from cold starts in winter to high RPM operations in summer, without significant degradation.
-
High Viscosity Index: Provides stable viscosity across varying temperatures, ensuring reliable lubrication under diverse operating conditions.
-
Low Pour Point: Remains fluid at very low temperatures, ensuring proper lubrication during cold starts.
-
Resistance to Foaming: Minimizes foam formation, which can adversely affect lubrication and lead to premature wear.
