Compare Dacia DSG oil service quotes from specialist garages

Founded in 1966 and given the former Roman name for what is now Romania, Dacia is a small but mighty car manufacturer offering a range of award-winning, affordable vehicles. At the 2023 Auto Trader New Car Awards, Dacia earned the title of 'Best Value Brand' for the fifth time, and its cars are consistently recognised for their outstanding value.

Over 250,000 people have bought a Dacia since 2013, and the brand has more than eight million customers worldwide. Impressively, Dacia's best-selling model, the 1300, which was introduced during the Cold War, had a production run of 35 years.

A direct shift gearbox offers an alternative to conventional automatic transmissions. It's an electronic dual-clutch system used by manufacturers in the Volkswagen group (including Skoda, SEAT and Audi) because it allows faster gear changes with a smooth flow of power that can help drivers save fuel.

Six and seven-speed direct shift gearboxes have proven highly reliable, but this reliability is aided by regular servicing. Most manufacturers recommend booking a DSG oil change and service every 40,000 miles.

The gearbox is examined for leaks and potential problems during a DSG service. Once this is done, the technician carries out a DSG transmission fluid and filter change. The benefits of a DSG oil change are numerous: it extends the life of the transmission, gives better fuel efficiency, allows for faster shifting, keeps your warranty valid for repairs (if you have one) and improves the performance of your vehicle.
