Volkswagen DSG fluid change

[antik]

I've contacted 3 very established and reputable VAG workshops enquiring about DSG service costs. None of them use VW DSG fluid however they can use it upon request. They use Penrite, Liqui Moly and Motul, though I will probably still opt for VW after the recommendations here.

I put Liqui Moly in my DSG with an OEM filter. I'll let you know if my DSG dies on the side of the road somewhere.

I'm also wondering which DSG oil to use for my Passat R36 with a 6sp DSG. Is the OE oil semi-synthetic? If so, wouldn't a full synthetic from the likes of Redline or Amsoil be a better option?

Stick with Approved and licensed fluids for DSG transmissions. VAG vehicles are really particular on fluid choice.
