Quick answer
On Exeed UAE's 2026 brochure the RX comes with two completely different gearboxes depending on grade: the Comfort uses a 7-speed dual-clutch (7DCT) with front-wheel drive, and the Prestige an 8-speed automatic (8AT) with all-wheel drive. A dual-clutch gearbox and a torque-converter automatic take different fluid types, and the Prestige's AWD adds driveline units with their own lubricants. ShipMyPart has not verified any of these fluids, quantities or intervals, so we confirm your grade and gearbox by VIN first.
Two RX drivelines, two fluid lists
| Grade (2026) | Gearbox | Drive | Lubricants to confirm |
|---|---|---|---|
| Comfort | 7DCT | FWD | DCT fluid |
| Prestige | 8AT | AWD | Automatic transmission fluid, plus the AWD coupling and rear differential oils |

Fluid specifications for this model are confirmed by VIN on request.
Comfort: the 7DCT
A dual-clutch gearbox works like two manual gearboxes run by computer: one clutch handles odd gears, the other even ones, so the next gear is ready before the shift. Its fluid is formulated for that design and is not a torque-converter automatic fluid. Exeed does not state whether the RX's 7DCT clutches run wet or dry, which is one more reason to confirm the exact fluid from the VIN.
Prestige: the 8AT
The eight-speed automatic moves off through a torque converter and changes gear with hydraulically operated clutch packs. Its fluid transmits power, controls the shifts and carries heat away, so it must be the automatic transmission fluid Exeed names for this gearbox. A DCT fluid in an 8AT, or the other way round, is the wrong product.
The extra units on an AWD Prestige
The Prestige adds all-wheel drive with snow, mud and off-road modes. On SUVs of this layout, power usually reaches the rear wheels through a coupling or transfer unit, a propeller shaft and a rear differential, and some of those units have their own oil. Exeed does not publish which are filled separately, so we check that by VIN rather than assume.
Symptoms by grade
| Comfort (7DCT) | Prestige (8AT + AWD) |
|---|---|
| Judder creeping in traffic | Slipping or flaring between gears |
| Hesitation pulling away | Thump selecting Drive or Reverse |
| Gearbox warning after a hot drive | Binding on tight turns or a rear hum |
Possible signs only; a workshop can read the control units to narrow it down.
Questions for the service desk
- Which fluid does my grade's gearbox take, and how much?
- Is a transmission filter part of the job?
- On a Prestige, are the AWD coupling and rear differential due as well?
- Does the gearbox need a relearn after the fluid change?
Gearbox fluid for an RX, by grade
Tell us Comfort or Prestige and send the VIN. We confirm the gearbox and, for AWD cars, the extra driveline units, then quote the fluids Exeed specifies together with parts your workshop asks for, such as axles or a transfer unit.

What gearbox does the Exeed RX have?
It depends on the grade: Comfort has a 7-speed dual-clutch (7DCT) with front-wheel drive; Prestige has an 8-speed automatic (8AT) with AWD, per Exeed UAE's 2026 brochure.
Can the RX Comfort and Prestige use the same gearbox fluid?
No. A dual-clutch gearbox and a torque-converter automatic need different fluid types.
Is the RX all-wheel drive?
The Prestige grade is AWD; the Comfort grade is front-wheel drive.
Does the RX Prestige need differential oil?
Its AWD driveline has extra lubricated units, but Exeed doesn't publish which are separately filled. We confirm by VIN.
How much transmission fluid does the RX take?
ShipMyPart has not verified the quantities; we confirm them by VIN.
When should RX gearbox fluid be changed?
Follow the service book or an Exeed service centre. We don't quote an interval until it is verified.
