The AMSOIL 100% Synthetic ATV/UTV Dual-Clutch Transmission Fluid (AUDCT) is a synthetic-base powersports dual-clutch transmission fluid built for high-load, high-torque, high-temperature off-road service. It is an in-stock dealer offering for owners running powersports dual-clutch transmissions that call for this fluid, with friction control, film strength, and cold-weather flow tuned to the demands of an aggressively driven UTV.
Engineered for the powersports dual-clutch transmission
Modern dual-clutch transmissions are complex, high-performance systems that combine two clutch packs, automated synchronizer engagement, and a high-pressure hydraulic control circuit in a single housing. AMSOIL Synthetic ATV/UTV Dual-Clutch Transmission Fluid is engineered to protect those components against wear during heavily loaded, high-temperature operation while delivering fast, smooth shifts. The formula is a high-performance replacement for vehicle manufacturer-branded products and is Warranty Secure to keep the factory warranty intact.
Friction durability that prevents shudder
Powersports dual-clutch transmissions are capable of seamless, split-second shifts but can suffer from shudder or lurching at slow speeds when the friction profile of the fluid drifts. AMSOIL Synthetic ATV/UTV Dual-Clutch Transmission Fluid is engineered to deliver stable synchronizer engagement that prevents shudder, producing consistently fast, smooth, quiet shifts. Stable friction characteristics also reduce the heat generated at the friction interface, which extends transmission life over hard duty cycles.
Severe-service wear protection
The combined weight of passengers, cargo, accessories, and aggressive driving through tough terrain places extreme pressure on heavily loaded gears, bearings, and clutch packs. The high torque generated during severe-duty operation can mechanically shear lower-quality oils, causing them to lose viscosity and place components at risk of wear. AMSOIL Synthetic ATV/UTV Dual-Clutch Transmission Fluid boasts outstanding film strength that resists extreme pressure and protects heavily loaded, high-torque gears and bearings against wear in the most severe operating conditions.
Extreme-temperature performance and cold-start flow
Sustained high-load operation drives transmission temperatures up, and conventional fluids can break down under that thermal stress, leading to deposits and accelerated wear. AMSOIL Synthetic ATV/UTV Dual-Clutch Transmission Fluid resists the effects of extreme heat and helps cool critical components for reliable protection during hard riding. The synthetic technology also remains fluid in cold weather, with a Brookfield viscosity of 8,900 cP at -40 degrees C (ASTM D2983) for fast, efficient starts in winter service. The formula also fights rust and corrosion on internal surfaces during seasonal storage.
Recommended applications and service intervals
This dual-clutch transmission fluid is intended for the powersports dual-clutch transmission application listed in the AMSOIL Data Bulletin (G3910). Match the application to the owner manual before service using the AMSOIL Vehicle Lookup Guide. Drain intervals follow the original equipment manufacturer recommendation for the host machine.
Use in Can-Am Maverick R dual-clutch transmissions.
Drain interval: follow the original equipment manufacturer oil change recommendation for the host transmission.
Not intended for the AMSOIL Synthetic CVT Belt Fluid (AUCVT) application or any belt-drive continuously variable transmission. Confirm the host transmission is a dual-clutch design before service.
Not intended for automotive dual-clutch transmissions outside the listed powersports application. Owners of European and import passenger-car DCTs should consult the ATV oil guide and the vehicle lookup tool for the correct fluid family.
Pair this fluid with the OEM transmission filter and service kit specified for the host machine. Topping off with the same product between full drains is recommended to preserve the friction profile, and aftermarket friction modifiers, slip additives, or general-purpose ATFs should not be added to a dual-clutch transmission charged with this fluid.

Frequently asked questions
What is dual-clutch transmission fluid?
Dual-clutch transmission fluid is a purpose-formulated lubricant for transmissions that use two automated clutch packs and a hydraulic control circuit instead of a torque converter or a manually operated clutch. The fluid simultaneously lubricates gears and bearings, controls friction at the clutch packs for smooth engagement, and feeds hydraulic shift actuators. Automatic transmission fluid, gear oil, and CVT belt fluid are not interchangeable with a dual-clutch fluid.
Does a powersports dual-clutch transmission use transmission fluid?
Yes. A wet dual-clutch transmission carries a fluid charge that bathes the clutch packs, gears, and synchronizers and pressurizes the shift hydraulics. Running it dry, low, or on the wrong fluid causes shudder, harsh engagement, accelerated wear, and possible internal damage. AMSOIL Synthetic ATV/UTV Dual-Clutch Transmission Fluid is formulated specifically for the powersports DCT application listed in the AMSOIL Data Bulletin (G3910).
Which machines does AUDCT fit?
The AMSOIL Data Bulletin (G3910) lists the Can-Am Maverick R dual-clutch transmission as the intended application. Confirm the host machine has the same dual-clutch transmission design before service using the AMSOIL Vehicle Lookup Guide. Belt-drive continuously variable transmissions in other ATV and UTV models call for AMSOIL Synthetic CVT Belt Fluid (AUCVT), not this product.
How often should the dual-clutch transmission fluid be changed?
Follow the original equipment manufacturer oil change recommendation for the host transmission. The owner manual is the primary reference for drain interval, fill volume, and any severe-service guidance. Operating in deep mud, sand, dust, sustained high-load towing, or aggressive trail riding is severe service and shortens the published interval.
Does using AMSOIL Synthetic ATV/UTV Dual-Clutch Transmission Fluid void the factory warranty?
No. Using AMSOIL synthetic lubricants does not void a new vehicle or equipment manufacturer warranty. AMSOIL Synthetic ATV/UTV Dual-Clutch Transmission Fluid is a high-performance replacement for vehicle manufacturer-branded products and is Warranty Secure. The fluid is also covered by the AMSOIL Limited Warranty (G1363).
Can a generic automatic transmission fluid be used in place of this product?
No. A general-purpose ATF, gear oil, or CVT fluid is not a substitute for a dual-clutch transmission fluid. Friction modifiers, additive package, viscosity profile, and shear stability are tuned to the wet-clutch and synchronizer hardware in a powersports DCT. Use the ATV oil guide to identify the correct AMSOIL fluid for the host transmission family.
Will this fluid flow at low temperature for cold-weather starts?
Yes. The synthetic technology measures 8,900 cP Brookfield viscosity at -40 degrees C (ASTM D2983), so the fluid stays pumpable in deep cold and supports fast, efficient starts during winter operation.
