That sort of pricing is no more expensive than "top quality", over-the-counter engine oil. Dunno if Aussie pricing will be in the same ballpark... but it's worth me making a few emails/phone calls to find out about all this stuff.

Thanks, folks.

Interesting find. I wonder if someone can have a chemical analysis done to see if they have the same properties, or if one is better than another.

Perhaps this news if true will bring down the oem price.

That's a pretty excellent find! Good research.

The pentosin FFL-2

is equivalent (and approved VW factory fill) oil as well, and is also amber and clear.

$18 /litre

FFL-2 Spec sheet

There is also FFL-3 (made for Porsche PDK) and FFL-4 (made for BMW M series DCT) that would work well for heavy duty applications (track, etc)

Looking at the material properties, there are some differences between the Pentosin and the Ravenol.

Bryan, do you think the Ravenol is the right way to go? It's cheap, but getting it to the US might be the problem.

Looks like that is it!

 

[trick3d]

so what if we buy the other oil and print receipts, have it changed at a reputable shop etc and then the trans fails. Will we run into probs with mitsu saying we didnt buy Diaqueen? Good Find.

I'm going to Ford if this is true!

Well i"m very sorry do disappoint you my friend , but i ddnt mistaken
About this .

Castrol make games with several names on the same fluid .

You want another proof ? hear is official Castrol fluid recommendation
from russia ( page 47) :

http://www.castrol.com/liveassets/b...p_internet/castrol/castrol_ukraine/STAGING/local_assets/downloads/c/Catalog.pdf

its 14 mb pdf , but after you open this official Castrol document
you & all the members here will see in there own eyes ,
that the official fluid for Evo X MR is : Castrol Transmax Dual

i want to remain you & all members , that on the 4L Diaqueen SSTF-1 written in big letter: MADE FOR MITSUBISHI BY CASTROL GERMANY........

So , in USA , its called Diaqueen SSTF1 , in Europe shops is called TRANSMAX DUAL
or Castrol BOT 341 that sale only to Europe dealership !

in Germany , Ravenol DCT/DSG tell us that there fluid is Diaqueen SSTF-1 exactly !

Getrag gear company made dual clutch 6 speed transmission to Ford -Volvo-Mitsubishi , and for all this cars , the fluid is identical !

Do you think that Ravenol Germany will declare without promotion/license
from mitsubishi that the DCT/DSG is the identical to Diaqueen SSTF-1 for nothing?

Im going to drop into the odd Ford/Volvo dealership when im in the area, see if I can get the fluid for cheaper

 

[pounder]

I just checked Ford and napa here in my hometown and they couldn't find anything. I imagine us canucks and yankees may have to look at importing the stuff.

Yes , this is exactly the same as Diaqueen sstf-1 with no mistake at all !
i for example put the FORD WSS -M2C936-A that identical to VW and
to Diaqueen . even the fluid color ( light green ) is the same.

You sir have made me a very happy guy... My tranny fluid change will now not cost me my left arm

But just so I can confirm with my self, I tried to find something on your first post that would show this is the same fluid but I couldn't. Maybe I have missed something but could you show me which part number on the Volkswagen stuff matches up to the Mitsubishi Fluid.

 

[steelbahamut]

How much does the DSG stuff cost?

How much does the DSG stuff cost?

I am not 100% sure what retail would be for it but my price is $158 for 8L.


And I am just waiting to hear back from SSP but if you look at their jugs of SSP Pro-Gold it shows Audi, Mitsu, VW, BMW, Porsche.... So between this thread and if SSP confirms, I think I have found my solution.
