AMSOIL Transmission fluid recommendations for Cars and Light Duty Trucks
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) exceeds the
performance requirements for domestic and foreign automatic
transmission fluid applications. AMSOIL ATF provides automatic
transmissions, power steering units and hydraulic equipment with
excellent lubricating protection and better performance over a wider
temperature range than conventional automatic transmission fluids.
Resists Oxidation and Thermal Degradation
AMSOIL ATF resists thermal and oxidative degradation better than
conventional transmission fluids, protecting clutches, planetary
gears, valves, pumps and seals from damaging sludge and varnish
deposits. AMSOIL ATF helps prevent component overheating and
ensures cooler, smoother transmission operation.
Provides Low Temperature Protection
AMSOIL ATF outperforms petroleum fluids in low temperature fluidity.
In fact, AMSOIL ATF offers twice the cold temperature fluidity required
by current automatic transmission fluid specifications. AMSOIL ATF
provides easier starting, faster warm-ups, smoother shifting and
improved fuel economy.
Antiwear Protection
AMSOIL ATF provides smooth shifting and long,
trouble-free transmission life. In addition, the
antiwear additive package makes AMSOIL ATF
an excellent lubricant in other hydraulic
systems. In tests designed to measure wear
characteristics under severe service and
high pressure operating conditions, AMSOIL
ATF far exceeds the requirements of
hydraulic equipment manufacturers.
Extends Drain Intervals
AMSOIL ATF is a stable formulation that
lasts longer in service than conventional
ATFs. It maintains its viscosity, friction and
lubricating properties for extended periods
of time, even under severe conditions.
AMSOIL ATF maximizes transmission
performance and service life while
reducing maintenance costs
through longer drain intervals.
APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL Synthetic Universal Automatic Transmission
Fluid is completely compatible with other synthetic and
petroleum automatic transmission fluids. AMSOIL ATF is
a universal, multi-functional fluid that greatly reduces the
need for specialized fluid inventories and the possibilities
of misapplication.
AMSOIL ATF is recommended for transmission, hydraulic
and other applications requiring any of the following
specifications:
SERVICE LIFE
AMSOIL Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid is
recommended for use up to 50,000 miles under severe
service* and up to 100,000 miles under normal service*
or according to the vehicle manufacturer recommended
intervals, whichever is longer. AMSOIL recommends
thoroughly draining the transmission and flushing with new
AMSOIL ATF to achieve a minimum 90% purity of new
transmission fluid. Drain intervals may be extended further
with oil analysis.
* As defined by the vehicle
or transmission manufacturer.
