Thanks JFP,  but exactly how is the pentosin level "eye-balled" ? Is there a glass level indicator on the PDK or what ?

NO - the oil filling hole is your only indication.

Maybe there is a way to monitor this via PIWIS but i assume you don't have one.

Thanks a lot for the info.

I didn't do it yet - my dealer (the only 1 in the country) said to me that same oil should be used for both gearbox and clutches.

Since this contradicts all information that we know - obviously they don't know what they're doing and instead of good it will do only damage.

I plan to visit them and review together the info they have.

Thanks !!!

I will check with the local dealer what are the actual costs and see what will we do...

So to get PDK clutches oil filter replaced - there is a need it to replace a pan of the gearbox - which leads to replacing gearbox oil too - correct?

is this ^ ^ ^ ^ correct?

If above is true - replacing oil filter makes clutches oil replacement from 150$ to 150$+480$.

And this is materials only - labor costs will grow significantly too.

I'm really wondering how important is to replace the filter in a car that have reached 6 years but is very far from the recommended 60,000 miles mark...

The part in the picture you gave the link to is a replacement transmission pan (Porsche part number 9G131202500) which retails in the US for $305  http://www.sunsetporscheparts.com/porsche/911/9g132102500/2009-year/carrera-trim/3-6l-h6-gas-engine/maintenance-and-lubrication-cat/transmission-components-scat/?part_name=trans-pan  The pan itself contains a filter element which is not serviced separately. It filters the clutch oil, the gear box oil is not filtered.

 

 

My car is 6 years old and want to replace the PDK clutch oil.

To replace the oil filter - the whole pan should be replaced.

Is this pan serves clutches compartment only?

Visually it looks to me like it covers the gearbox/cogs part - if it's true than gearbox/cogs oil also has to be changed.

So what's the situation with it?
