Default Yes - another DCT Trans fluid question

According to Tremec, the trans is filled with FUCHS Titan EG FFL-4. For those that are adding the 2 additional quarts (liters), are you using the Titan EG FFL-4 or AC Delco? If using AC Delco, there are two different FFL-4 fluids... AC Delco 19418016 FFL-4 DCT or AC Delco 10-4130 FFL-4 DCT?

I plan on adding the fluid myself - yes I've seen the videos on adding it via the driver's side rear axle area. That's the plan.

I used 2 litres of AC Delco 19418016 which is the same as AC Delco 10-4130 (both #'s are on the same bottle).

that’s interesting. Summit carries both products with the different numbers at different prices. I’m curious on if there is a difference. Which is why I asked the question.

From Summit's web page, both "products" show the exact same bottle for both at two different prices. Strange.

I noticed that too. The bottle even has both product numbers on the front. Summit has a great price so I ordered 4. Thanks for your help.

Where's the video you reference. Also isn't the Top fill actually on passenger side??

The fill level plug on the driver’s side can be used but you need to jack the left side of the car 13 degrees. This way, you don’t have to disassemble the trunk to access the fill port on top.

Good Video showing it can be done without talking the car apart!

Not trying to take credit for what you did as "You Did It, I Only Speculated" it could be done on June 6, 2020! Found my forum post. That said an estimate of 13 degrees and using a protractor and pic from your video it's about 15 degrees (after you jacked it up a bit more to get all the fluid in!) Great job!
