TCT hydraulic oil

I didn't know you could check the TCT oil?? We are talking about the Twin Clutch Transmission, correct? I thought you had to go underneath the car and check at the fill hole.

Thanks for this; had not done it before as I did not even think about it but just went to the garage and did it. It is quite difficult to see through the reservoir but I would say the level on my car sits around 3/4 of the reservoir; which I checked by unscrewing the cap the "measuring" with a cutter.
I am assuming the MIN mark is the bottom of the reservoir (did not see any mention to the MIN mark in the manual).

Only thing I could find remotely close/easy to order was Ravenol which meets the spec in the manual: Amazon.com: RAVENOL J1B1010-001 Hydraulic Fluid - GHA-F Gearbox Hydraulic Actuator Fluid (1 Liter): Automotive

Petronas was $$$$ from over the pond. What have others used? I just want to have some on hand, I'll have to check the level this weekend. Thanks for the info!

Got info from Kroon oils
please use google translate or something...

Beste Andre,

Bedankt voor uw feedback. In eerste instantie inderdaad een opmerkelijk verschil in advies. Als ik de EU adviezen vergelijk met de USA adviezen dan zie ik inderdaad een verschil in voorgeschreven specificaties. Voor de USA modellen adviseert Alfa een Mopar PN 68092630AA specificatie voor de hydrauliek van de bakbediening. Deze specificatie is inderdaad een API GL4 SAE 75W transmissieolie. Voor de EU modellen adviseert Alfa een olie volgens Fiat 9.55550-SA1 specificatie, een automotive hydraulische olie voor o.a. cabrio kap bediening, hydraulische bediening versnellingsbak etc. Ik ga er vanuit dat u een EU model heeft en ons advies is om inderdaad de SP Fluid 3023 te gebruiken voor deze toepassing. Wij zullen onze dataleverancier navragen het OEM advies voor de USA versie te controleren en indien nodig aan te passen. Wij vertrouwen erop u hiermee voldoende geïnformeerd te hebben.

Met vriendelijke groet,

Ing. Tom Bruggeman

Google Translate to English is interesting. So the spec difference appears to be from Alfa, or from their supplier.

Thanks for your feedback. In the first instance indeed a remarkable difference in advice. When I compare the EU advice with the USA advice, I indeed see a difference in prescribed specifications. For the USA models, Alfa recommends a Mopar PN 68092630AA specification for bucket control hydraulics. Indeed, this specification is an API GL4 SAE 75W transmission oil. For the EU models Alfa recommends an oil according to Fiat 9.55550-SA1 specification, an automotive hydraulic oil for convertible top control, hydraulic gearbox control etc. I assume that you have an EU model and our advice is indeed to use the SP Fluid 3023 to be used for this application. We will ask our data supplier to check the OEM advice for the USA version and adjust it if necessary. We trust to have informed you sufficiently

One of the specs is the actual transmission oil, perhaps?
