[QUOTE="EJChevy, post: 184378, member: 3417"] I understand your background and understanding of how automatic and manual transmissions work, but an automatic and dual-clutch are not the same thing by any stretch of the imagination. Yes, you can control the shifting of an automatic with the help of electrical controls and goodies, but, to my understanding, the primary component in them is the torque converter, which uses hydraulic pressure to allow the transmission to 'slip' while changing gears. Yes, it produces a crazy amount of heat, but it doesn't work the same as a dual-clutch. A dual-clutch transmission is exactly that: Two clutches, just like the dry clutch used in your manual transmission. One clutch - consisting of multiple friction plates - is connected to the odd gears, 1-3-5-7 and another is connected to the even gears 2-4-6. As you shift, it disengages the engaged clutch and engages the other clutch, while shifting the mechanical components similarly to how you shift your manual transmission. Why I suggest this is the reason for more frequent oil changes is the debris that will be released from the clutch pad material as it shifts hard between each gear, not from excessive heat. My $0.02.
