PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic Powershift Transmission Fluids are
specifically designed for high-torque heavy-duty powershift
transmissions. Formulated for extended drain
intervals, Powershift Transmission Fluids contain top-quality
synthetic base stocks and a high level of top-quality
additives selected specifically for powershift
transmissions. They offer unmatched transmission friction
performance, smooth brake operation, reduced
gear and bearing wear and increased equipment life.
Friction Characteristics
AMSOIL Synthetic Powershift Transmission Fluids are
compatible with common metallic and nonmetallic
friction materials. Their stable frictional characteristics
eliminate excessive brake noise and vibration. Their nonslip
friction durability virtually eliminates
clutch slippage, which can cause glazing or
friction surface deposits and material degradation.
Powershift Transmission Fluids are
formulated to deliver responsive yet smooth
clutch engagements, excellent power transmission
through clutches and synchronizers
and superior hydraulic fluid performance
for servo-equipped units.
Wear Protection
AMSOIL Synthetic Powershift Transmission Fluids exceed
the wear requirements of the Caterpillar TO-4 specification
and are formulated without viscosity index improvers for
superior shear stability. The superior shear stability of
Powershift Transmission Fluids allows them to maintain
grade throughout service life, providing long-term protection
against equipment wear, even when equipment is frequently
subjected to sustained periods of applied pressure or high
horsepower and high torque.
High and Low Temperature
Performance
In high temperatures, AMSOIL Synthetic Powershift
Transmission Fluids effectively protect components from
wear. Their superior oxidative and thermal stability inhibits
the formation of varnish,
deposits and sludge so equipment
runs clean. Synthetic
Powershift Transmission Fluids
are excellent heat transfer
fluids and may help hot-running
equipment operate cooler
and run in its optimal temperature
range. In low temperatures,
Synthetic Powershift
Transmission Fluids flow readily
for dependable startup and
post-startup protection.
Copper Corrosion, Rust and
Foam Inhibition
AMSOIL Synthetic Powershift Transmission Fluids
protect equipment from copper corrosion and rust,
even during equipment storage. Synthetic
Powershift Transmission Fluids do not foam in
service, protecting equipment from the metal-to-metal contact and wear that occurs with
use of foam-filled fluids.

Transmission Fluid can be used in
Caterpillar, Allison, Komatsu, Clark,
Hurth, Borg-Warner, Twin Disc, Voith, ZF, Funk
and Brockhouse powershift-type transmissions and Eaton/Rockwell/Fuller transmissions.
Installation
AMSOIL Synthetic Powershift Transmission Fluids are
fully compatible with other TO-4 fluids used in powershift
applications. To install AMSOIL Synthetic Powershift
Transmission Fluids, drain the fluid in the system, replace
the filter (if so equipped) and install the appropriate
Powershift Transmission Fluid.
Service Life
AMSOIL Synthetic Powershift Transmission Fluids provide
extended service life beyond conventional petroleum
fluids if Synthetic Powershift Transmission Fluids are kept
free of dirt and moisture. Oil analysis is recommended
if extending service intervals beyond equipment manufacturer
recommendations.
AMSOIL Synthetic Powershift Transmission Fluids
may be used for 250,000 miles or two years (whichever
comes first) in CD-50 manual transmission applications.
