Does the Oshan X7 transmission overheat in Pakistan’s hot climate and heavy traffic?

I’ve heard that DCTs can overheat in countries with high temperatures and traffic congestion, which we often experience in Pakistan. Has anyone experienced transmission overheating in the Oshan X7 during long traffic jams o r hill climbs? Are there any precautions I should take to prevent this?

The X7 uses a wet-clutch DCT, which is more heat-resistant than dry-type units

. Owners have not raised overheating as a common issue.

Precautions to avoid overheating:

Avoid prolonged heavy loading o r frequent high‑RPM driving in stop‑go traffic.

Stick to manufacturer-recommended service intervals, especially for fluid changes.

Monitor for gear slippage, warning lights, o r unusual smells—these can be early signs of thermal stress.
