Due to lifetime filling with low-friction oil the transmission now runs more smoothly and thus more economically. Low slippage with the lock-up clutch creates a direct connection at the accelerator pedal and thus high agility. This means that the oil heats up quickly to minimise friction losses after a cold start. Auxiliaries.
