All About SST Fluid
Hi guys
Well its about some time that i investigate the secret behind the SST Transmission fluid , since in USA and the OEM called Dia-queen SSTF-1
but , in some countries the same fluid called Castrol BOT 341 and Castrol Transmax Dual .
http://www.castrol.com/castrol/gener...tentId=7067529
My commonsense told me , that, No Way ! , that Castrol make a special
fluid only for mitsubishi transmission .
I found that the SST transmission / FORD DCT Power shift , developed by GETRAG company in Germany :
http://www.getrag.com/en/216
The lab that make this formula oil called British Petroleum (BP):
http://www.bp.com/liveassets/bp_inte...dualclutch.pdf
The oil company that make this fluid to Castrol & several car manufacturer
Called RAVENOL from Germany :
http://www.ravenol.de/products?l=de&part=426
As you can all see the part number for the Dia-Queen SSTF-1
Is the same for FORD , VOLVO , VW , Chrysler , and the
official name of the fluid that supplied to all the manufacturer above
called RAVENOL - DCT/DSG :
http://www.ravenol-shop.de/epages/61...ucts/212106-5L
As you all can see in the link above , you could buy this fluid
as FORD Catalog Number : 1490761 or VOLVO Catalog Number : 1161838
and also at VW ece ....And its the identical to the Dia-Queen SSTF-1 and manufactured in the same factory to all manufactures
Today i went to VOLVO dealership to check it & compare with some Dia-Queen SSTF-1 that i have , and after talking with the head mechanic , he told me that i right in 100% and this fluid came in several names ......
So now you can buy this fluid from FORD or VOLVO by catalog number (supplied in the link above - down page ) and compare the price.
i did all this research , since the Dia-Queen cost in israel 110$ for 1 L ,
and the same fluid cost in VOLVO or FORD 28 $ for 1 L !

Its written , black on white that the RAVENOL DCT/DSG is filling oil to :
RAVENOL DCT/DSG Getriebe Fluid ist praxisbewährt und erprobt in Aggregaten mit Füllvorschrift:
VW G 052 182 A2
FORD 1490763
FORD 1490761
FORD WSS-M2C936-A
Chrysler 68044345EA
VOLVO 1161838
VOLVO 1161839
MITSUBISHI MZ320065
MITSUBISHI Dia-Queen SSTF-I
So this mean behind any doubt , that all the catalog number above ,
is the same oil , period !
by the way , on the Castrol BOT 341 bottle written : Mitsubishi MZ320065 - Dia-Queen SSTF-1 , Made in Germany........
the color of the fluid is brown , and i checked it facing the OEM , and its the same .

$18 / litre

There is also FFL-3 (made for Porsche PDK) and FFL-4 (made for BMW M series DCT) that would work well for heavy duty applications (track, etc)

this is good news, so we can just buy it thru Ford dealership for 28per liter. I;m gonna changes this every 3miles like my engine oil. I hope we can really do oil analysis to compare.

as long as the cross reference is right it will work out right. cause i dont think that the sst evo dsg is so special that it needs that to be expensive. if other dsg is using it i think that is way to go.

to my opinion Castrol make games with several names on the same fluid .
You want another proof ? hear is official Castrol fluid recommendation
from russia ( page 47) :
http://www.castrol.com/liveassets/bp.../c/Catalog.pdf
its 14 mb pdf , but after you open this official Castrol document
you & all the members here will see in there own eyes ,
that the official fluid for Evo X MR is : Castrol Transmax Dual
i want to remain you & all members , that on the 4L Diaqueen SSTF-1 written in big letter: MADE FOR MITSUBISHI BY CASTROL GERMANY........
So , in USA , its called Diaqueen SSTF1 , in Europe shops is called TRANSMAX DUAL
or Castrol BOT 341 that sale only to Europe dealership !
in Germany , Ravenol fluid , model : DCT/DSG tell us that there fluid is Diaqueen SSTF-1 exactly !
Getrag gear company made dual clutch 6 speed transmission to Ford -Volvo-Mitsubishi , and for all this cars , the fluid is identical !
Do you think that the oil company Ravenol - Germany will declare without promotion/license
from mitsubishi that the DCT/DSG is the identical to Diaqueen SSTF-1 for nothing?
