DCT Filters and sucking jet pump

PierreE92M3 · 03-01-2026, 10:28 AM

Hi, wondering if anybody has experience with doing this service? I’m in the midst of ordering parts to service tranny. Any better suggestions? I already bought Pentosin ffl-4 5 Liters is that enough to drop the pan, empty the cooler and line ? Thx!!

No, 5 liters won’t be enough. You’ll need 6 if you just do a drain and fill. And 7l if you’re looking to overfill it (GTS method). Draining the DCT cooler will require even more fluid

I've done in the past, to be safe make sure you have at least 7L of fluid.

Hi guys, I did the DCT service cartridge filter, pan filter and sucking jet pump all OEM Getrag with Petosin FFL-4. So glad i did it, filters and pump were original with 317000 kms, and in terrible shape. It’s running so strong
