Pentosin FFL-2

Anyone know what this fluid is for? I know it's for a DSG / dual clutch gearbox but nothing more than that.

i stumbled upon it at Ollies for 4.99 a quart. Is it a popular fluid? Pentosin is good (and very expensive) fluid, so it has me intrigued.

Buy some, then buy a VW with DSG

Not sure what is going on with the Pentosin acquisition. Will the name disappear?

Pentosin is fairly popular choice for German vehicles that many shops trust

As far as I know, Pentosin makes quality lubricants, hydraulic fluids, coolants and brake fluids.
I have the Pento E coolant in my Golf and my next brake fluid change I'll try their DOT 4 LV.
Rock Auto sells Pentosin engine oils but the price is quite high.

I use Pentofrost coolant exclusively in my vehicles, and I know their oils are top notch having owned a couple german cars before.

Just curious if this FFL-2 spec is popular or an outdated obsolete spec.
