Where are you guys buying your DCT filters?

Love the last procedure tab. Wondering now how many tried to perform the system flush and filter change while moving, before they thought of adding that instruction....

My other DCT is Honda Goldwing that just uses engine oil for transmission although motorcycle oil is JASO - MA.2 for wet clutches. I see the AC Delco DCT fluid at about $40 a quart and we need 12 quarts so $480 for the fluid alone? Fortunately that's is just every 3 years.

Trans fluid is about 15% cheaper at Kipp Scott. Still gonna hurt at 72,000 service.

Yowtch. I looked up the Kipp price and its $50 plus some shipping so the cost will be closer to $600 for the fluid. Hopefully by then there will be alternatives. How can oil cost $50 a quart? My really expensive DCT motorcycle oil is $12. and my really really expensive Mobil 1 oil is $20 a quart.

Not nice, it was $33 from Kipp Scott in Oct/21

Received my filter from Kipp Scott today. Ordered it Nov 9 so just about 2 months. Fortunately, with the extreme weather I have not driven the car much but nice to have in any case.
