Tasks of the oil
The oil does more than just »lubricate« the gearbox.
Consider that the oil which just transported miniscule particles of metal from the differential to both filters and ensured that the film of lubricant on the flanks of the teeth does not tear now provides the pressure necessary for the gear actuator to function.
In addition, it seals the spool valves and aids the synchro-rings during gear changes. It stores and transports heat and reduces noise - the oil performs many tasks. The → DSG® oil fulfils very high demands!
To maintain this ability, the filter on the gearbox should be renewed together with the oil in the maintenance service.
