Could be some universal fluid.I wish some people didn't service their transmissions. I drained my VW DSG twin clutch DCT and red ATF poured out. Yeah, I wasn't impressed.
There’s not a universal fluid for the DSG and it’s a wet clutch design for the 6 speed.Could be some universal fluid.
Just do a simple pan drop and fill07 highlander base 135K 2nd owner wanted trans serviced . Garage said no could cause problems due to new fluid breaking loose things in trans. after service. Not sure what to do.

Using anything but the factory fluid is a bad idea. I don’t know how any dct fluid could be considered universal considering how different some of these transmissions are and I would not be pleased to have this used on my car. I can’t think of a single reason to select this fluid especially for a VW application.
Maybe. Maybe not. There’s a lot of variables. Do we know for sure the fluid never overheated? I’d never consider any transmission or gear set to be lifetime fill.The only limiting factor is the filter debris holding capacity; isn't it? The fluid itself never wears out; does it?
You should check the level first . Your assuming someone else filled it up and there is no leaks . Just sayingDrain it when cold, measure how much came out, then refill with the same amount
Thank you for this info, I was not aware that the universal fluid could be red. It also had Lucas in it because it was stringy. But it surprisingly drove fine even though almost 7 quarts drained out of it. I got it from a dealer that was totally clueless and it turns out the transmission was fine and the car was just not running right. Causing all sorts of crazy stuff to be happening. I just feel bad not knowing what was actually in there for sure. May do another change soon to make sure most of what is in there is correct. That stuff sure isn't cheap.

that is one theory.The only limiting factor is the filter debris holding capacity; isn't it? The fluid itself never wears out; does it?
