AMSOIL Transmission fluid recommendations for Cars and Light Duty Trucks
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic Universal Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) is
engineered to outperform conventional automatic transmission fluids
and exceed the performance requirements of most North American,
European and Asian vehicles. This sophisticated formulation provides
outstanding performance and protection in the severe operating
conditions of today’s most advanced transmission designs.
Automatic transmissions have become increasingly complex as
vehicle manufacturers strive to improve efficiency while satisfying
consumer demands. Smaller, smoother-shifting transmissions with
longer fluid-life capabilities and heavier load capacities are now
standard in modern transmission design. Traditional ATFs, however,
are unable to meet these extreme requirements, and new
fluids have emerged with each new advancement in transmission
engineering. AMSOIL first introduced a synthetic automatic transmission
fluid in 1980 and remains the leader in transmission fluid
quality. AMSOIL Synthetic Universal ATF is formulated with the
highest-quality synthetic fluids and additives. It exceeds the most
stringent industry standards and is universally recommended for a
wide range of transmissions. AMSOIL Synthetic Universal ATF
reduces confusion, misapplications and
inventories. It eliminates the need for
costly and suspect “one-treatment-coversall”
additives. The quality and performance
of AMSOIL Synthetic Universal ATF is
guaranteed.
Exceptional Hot- and Cold-
Temperature Performance
Thermal Stability – Hot temperatures are
no excuse for poor reliability. Naturally
heat resistant and heavily fortified with
anti-oxidants, AMSOIL ATF exceeds the
most demanding oxidation requirements.
AMSOIL ATF delivers outstanding protection
against sludge and varnish deposits
that clog narrow oil passages and contribute
to clutch glazing. Transmissions
can operate hotter and longer with
AMSOIL ATF than with conventional fluids.
Cold-Temperature Fluidity – Cold, thick automatic
transmission fluid lengthens shift times and reduces
energy efficiency (fuel economy). AMSOIL Synthetic ATF
is wax-free and delivers extraordinary cold-flow properties
(< -60°F pour point). Shifting is more responsive,
energy efficiency is improved and warm-up times
are reduced.
OUTSTANDING WEAR PROTECTION
Varying speeds and loads causes torque multiplication
and extreme stress on gears and bearings. To prevent
wear damage consistent with low-quality fluid and ruptured
fluid film, AMSOIL formulated Synthetic Universal
ATF with high film strength (shear stability) and premium
anti-wear/extreme-pressure additives (boundary film
barrier). AMSOIL Synthetic ATF protects transmissions
during severe-duty service.
FRICTION DURABILITY
Today’s transmissions are smaller and must withstand
higher horsepower and torque while delivering smoother
shifts, all with longer fluid life recommendations.
AMSOIL Synthetic ATF is formulated with friction modifier
additives that deliver outstanding clutch-holding
capacity (static friction), torque-transfer ability (dynamic
friction) and anti-shudder properties (slipping torqueconverter
clutches).
EXTENDS FLUID SERVICE LIFE
Most drivers are unaware that transmissions commonly
operate under severe service and require shorter fluid
drain intervals. AMSOIL Synthetic Universal ATF is a
long-life fluid capable of extended service intervals. It
provides an extra margin of protection, especially when
fluid change intervals are missed or during heavy use;
even during abuse. Drivers can count on AMSOIL Synthetic
Universal ATF to provide protection beyond conventional
fluids.
