The short answer

A DSG oil change means replacing the transmission fluid in your DSG gearbox. On versions that need it, we also replace the oil filter. Autobedrijf Willemsbrug in Rotterdam does this for Volkswagen, Audi, Škoda and SEAT. We use transmission fluid that meets the specified standard. We set the oil level according to the procedure for your transmission.

First, we use your number plate to look up which transmission type your car has. Then you get a clear quote up front. We only carry out extra work after discussing it with you.

Do you recognise these signs in your DSG?

Dirty or old DSG oil can go hand in hand with the following symptoms:

  • Jerky or rough shifting
  • Shuddering or jerking when pulling away
  • Delayed or harsh gear changes
  • A warning message, or a gearbox that goes into limp mode

Timely maintenance can help to limit wear and further damage. Do you already have clear symptoms? Then a diagnosis comes first. An oil change does not automatically fix a faulty clutch, mechatronic unit or gearbox.

Why is a DSG oil change so important?

Your DSG is a dual-clutch gearbox that can shift quickly. The transmission fluid lubricates and cools several parts. In wet-clutch DSG versions, the clutches also run in an oil bath. The mechatronic unit (the gearbox control unit) manages the hydraulic and electronic operation of the transmission.

Over time, the oil can become contaminated with wear particles. The properties of the oil can also change. This can affect how the gearbox shifts and the load on the clutches and the mechatronic unit.

Maintenance according to the correct specification helps to keep the gearbox working well. The correct service interval differs by transmission type, model and model year.

What we do during a DSG oil change

  • Drain the old transmission fluid using the specified method
  • Replace the oil filter if this applies to your version
  • Fill with transmission fluid that meets the specified standard
  • Set the oil level using the correct procedure and temperature
  • Check for leaks and, where relevant, check how the gearbox works and shifts

Which DSGs and makes do we cover?

We service many DSG and S tronic versions within the Volkswagen Group. We use your number plate and the version to check whether we can service your transmission.

Wet-clutch DSG (with filter)

In these versions, the clutches run in an oil bath. On many of these transmissions, the oil filter is also replaced during the service. The precise procedure differs by gearbox type. Examples:

  • DQ250 (6-speed)
  • DQ381 and DQ500 (7-speed)
  • Audi S tronic, such as the DL501 and similar versions

Dry-clutch DSG

In a dry-clutch DSG, the clutches do not run in an oil bath. The transmission and the mechatronic unit do each have their own oil system. The maintenance and the oil change interval differ by version. Example:

  • DQ200 (7-speed)

We service DSGs for Volkswagen, Audi, Škoda and SEAT, from a Golf, Polo or Passat to an A3, Octavia or Leon.

DSG oil change or automatic gearbox flush?

These are two different treatments. That is why we first work out which type of automatic transmission your car has.

A DSG oil change is a specific service for a dual-clutch gearbox. The oil is drained and replaced. The filter is also replaced if your version and the service call for it.

An automatic gearbox flush (power flush) is a separate treatment. We mainly use it on certain conventional automatics with a torque converter. Whether a flush is suitable depends on the transmission type and the work instructions. Do you have a conventional automatic like this? Then take a look at our page about automatic gearbox flushing. Not sure which type of transmission you have? Give us a call.

Frequently asked questions about a DSG oil change

All the answers are shown below, so there is no need to click.

How often should I have the DSG oil changed?

For many wet-clutch DSG versions, the service interval for the oil and filter is about 60,000 kilometres. The precise interval can differ by transmission, model and model year. So check your car’s service schedule as well.

Dry-clutch DSG versions, such as the DQ200, have different points to watch. Let us use your number plate and transmission type to check which maintenance applies to your car.

Do you do a lot of city driving, tow a trailer or drive in hilly or mountainous areas? Then talk to us about whether a check or service is needed sooner.

Which makes and DSG types do you work on?

We service DSGs in Volkswagen, Audi (S tronic), Škoda and SEAT vehicles. That includes many wet-clutch DSG versions, such as the DQ250, DQ381 and DQ500. On these transmissions, the filter is replaced if the version and the service procedure require it.

Dry-clutch DSG versions, such as the DQ200, can also need maintenance. We check for each car which work is needed. We use transmission fluid that meets the specified standard.

Is a DSG oil change the same as an automatic gearbox flush?

No. A DSG oil change is a specific service for a dual-clutch gearbox. The oil is drained and replaced. The filter is also replaced where this applies.

An automatic gearbox flush, also called a power flush, is a separate treatment for certain conventional automatics with a torque converter. Do you have a conventional automatic like this? Then take a look at our page about automatic gearbox flushing.

How can I tell that my DSG oil is dirty?

Possible signs are jerky or rough shifting, shuddering when pulling away, delayed gear changes or a car that goes into limp mode.

These symptoms can have different causes. An oil change can sometimes reduce the symptoms, but it does not automatically fix a faulty clutch, mechatronic unit or gearbox. If there are clear symptoms, we first carry out a diagnosis or discuss with you what is sensible.

How much does a DSG oil change cost?

You get a clear quote up front. The price depends on the type of DSG, the oil needed, the service procedure and whether the filter needs replacing.

Call us on +31 10 479 00 00 for the price for your car. When you book, we tell you what the price includes, such as oil, filter, labour, VAT and any sealing rings. We only carry out extra work after discussing it with you.
