Gear oils
Transmission fluids are key components of automotive transmissions, providing lubrication and protection against wear. Choosing the right fluid and changing it regularly can extend the life of the transmission and improve its performance. Different types of transmission fluids are designed for specific types of transmissions, which requires careful selection in accordance with the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations.
Select transmission fluid based on the transmission type and the standard or approval listed in the vehicle’s owner’s manual. We offer FUCHS Titan transmission fluids for manual, automatic, dual-clutch (DSG), and CVT transmissions, as well as transfer cases and differentials.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of fluid should I use in an automatic transmission?
Use ATF fluid that meets the standard specified by the vehicle manufacturer, such as DEXRON VI, MB 236.14, or ZF TE-ML 09. You can find the specific type in your vehicle’s owner’s manual; we offer five Titan ATF oils.
What oil should I use in the differential?
For transfer cases and hypoid gears, use oils meeting the API GL-5 standard, such as Titan SINTOPOID 75W-90. Limited-slip differentials require oil with an LS additive, such as Titan SINTOPOID LS 75W-140.
What is the difference between 75W-90 and 80W-90 transmission oil?
At operating temperature, both fall into the 90 class. They differ in cold-weather performance: the 75W class is designed for lower temperatures than the 80W class. The vehicle manufacturer’s specifications are decisive.
What oil should be used in a DSG transmission?
There are special oils for dual-clutch transmissions with wet clutches: Titan FFL-2 for VW transmissions and Titan FFL-3 for ZF/Porsche transmissions. Check the transmission type in the vehicle’s owner’s manual.
