1.0 Dual-Clutch Transmission Fluid (M DCT Drive logic)

The M Double-clutch Transmission with Drivelogic requires a special lubricant called BMW DCTF-1 Pentosin. This fluid is specific to the double-clutch transmission and should not be substituted. Substituting this fluid will cause significant damage to the internal clutches of the transmission assembly, requiring replacement of the transmission.

This BMW DCTF-1 Pentosin fluid does not require regular service maintenance. It is an extended-life type of fluid and should not be replaced. The proper fluid can be obtained using part number 83 22 0 440 214 (1 liter container) or 83 22 2 147 477 (20 liter container). The vehicle requires approximately 9 liters of fluid.
