Something else besides DCTF-1 or FFL2 in the DCT?

Who uses something else other than BMW Pentosin and what is it? Redline, Amsoil, Motul? I'm not using Liqui Mud...

Is there any data behind that or is that from someone who uses it?

BimmerWorld discusses it in the GTMore project thread

The long and the short of it is that it reduced the DCT temperature of their M4 GT4s racing the past few years. It's what I use in my track oriented cars as well due to that.

I bought some RL at $17/qt. I hear Motul has a new ester dctf. It even has the bmw DCT shifter on the bottle.
