PTU and PTU actuator fluid

I am in the process of getting supplies to change the fluid on my PTU and the PTU actuator. Has anybody found a place that sells Shell TF 1055 and Shell TF DCT-F3 in smaller than 20L pails? I can buy in this increment if needed but it seems silly to do so when I only need a few liters of each.

I have searched the internet extensively and reached out to a few places where I have bought from and nobody has it in smaller quantities.

 

I've never been able to find Shell products in a usable size, if I could fine it at all.

 

thanks. i am fine with other brands too i suppose but i am also fine with getting the larger tubs of shell since the PTU can be so temperamental.

 

I would consider this

And the TF 1055 is nothing to write home ..I used it before ..no additive at all in it

I would suggest Ravenol vsg for that equivalent

 

My local dealership sold me some Ferrari FtLauderdale..

 

I think I am just going to get the big bucket and have some for when I do my DCT flush in november.

 

All I can say is that ..what the factory puts in may not always be the best - each case is different - I think I can say that for gearbox oil here
I don't have enough data on DCT fluid though

 

Yeah totally fair and understood. I found a shell dealer/distributor who will make smaller batches up though so they are confirming they will do some small ones for me.

 

They changed me $37 a liter.

 

maybe a dumb question here but with the ravenol product, is this the version without the slip modifier or does it matter? I am used to using redline and adding slip modifier as needed.

I think i am going to go your recommended route with the motul dctf high torque and either ravenol vsg or redline 75w90ns, just not sure vsg = 75w90ns

 

It is not specified either way - so I would say no - like a NS product
But i would not add anything until you hear any chatter - never needed to add any additive in a 360 or 430
