If you properly change the clutch oil, doesn't matter how much abuse you put on the DCT. Honda DCT first designed for Honda Acura NSX. Which is a very performance oriented carPre 2014-10 GP5/Vezel/Grace had a DCT issue which caused premature failure of clutch pack due to a software bug. Honda even replaced entire gearbox for effected cars. Though this has a Dry clutch, there are some weird small pipings goes into the clutch pack. Could be for cooling purposes. I've driven 200KM straight up with close to 80KM continuous incline with full power on. If it fails under heat, it would have died long time ago. I didn't even get a temperature warning once. I have a brake fluid tester at home, Oil started to degrade around 10k KM. hence why i change very often. Dual clutches are not easily wear out as job get split across 2 clutches instead of one. Also unlike manual clutch balance, computer operated clutch tends to do a better job and avoid clutch slipping.Most dual clutches last around 100-150k miles. I have read even ZF made BMW DCT lasted 200k plus. </blockquote>
