Bulletin From Filter Manufacturers Council (16k PDF)
Transmissions in commercial vehicles, SUVs, trucks and vans – particularly those used for hauling or towing – are subjected to severe-service operation and increased heat. Elevated temperatures cause fluids to break down, allowing damaging metal-to-metal contact and the formation of sludge and deposits. The problem is worse in modern transmissions with more gears, clutch packs and narrow oil passages that require clean, high-quality fluid to achieve maximum performance and life.
AMSOIL Signature Series Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid is specifically formulated to withstand the rigors of heavy towing, elevated temperatures and challenging terrain. It remains fluid in sub-zero temperatures and provides reserve protection during heavy use and even abuse.
Proven in 180,000-mile, Severe-Service Taxi Fleet Field Trial
To demonstrate its effectiveness in severe service, Signature Series Multi-Vehicle Synthetic ATF was installed in Las Vegas taxi cabs. The vehicles routinely encountered demanding stop-and-go driving loaded with passengers and cargo, while the desert environment presented extremely hot ambient temperatures, placing enormous strain on the fluid. Following 180,000 miles, a transmission was selected for analysis. The Aluminum Beaker Oxidation Test (ABOT) is an industry standardized test used to determine a transmission fluid's oxidation resistance, which is a good indicator of its service life. Testing by an independent, third-party lab revealed that after 180,000 miles in severe service, Signature Series Multi-Vehicle Synthetic ATF resisted oxidation longer than required for new fluid to meet the Chrysler ATF+4 specification (see graph). Internal components, including the valve body and clutch plates (pictured), were virtually free of damaging sludge, deposits and wear, confirming the lubricant's high level of protection for severe-service applications.
Protects Against Thermal Breakdown
Signature Series Synthetic ATF is formulated with high concentrations of antioxidants, making it naturally heat resistant. It provides outstanding protection against sludge and varnish deposits that clog narrow oil passages and contribute to clutch glazing. After 180,000 miles in severe service, fluid analysis revealed Signature Series Multi-Vehicle Synthetic ATF contained 83 percent of its original oxidation inhibitors, proving its long-lasting resistance to thermal breakdown.
Outstanding Wear Protection
Varying speeds and loads causes torque multiplication and extreme stress on gears and bearings. AMSOIL formulated Signature Series Synthetic ATF with high film strength and premium anti-wear/extreme-pressure additives to help prevent wear during severe service. In the industry-standard FZG Gear Wear Test, Signature Series Multi-Vehicle Synthetic ATF that had been used for 180,000 severe-service miles achieved a “Pass” at stage 12 – the highest stage. The results exceeded the Ford MERCON V and Chrysler ATF+4 specifications for new fluid, demonstrating the lubricant's long-lasting wear protection.
Cold-Temperature Fluidity
Cold, thick automatic transmission fluid lengthens shift times and reduces fuel economy. Signature Series Synthetic ATF is wax-free and delivers extraordinary cold-flow properties. It helps improve shift response, energy efficiency and warm-up times.
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 Signature Series 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 torque-converter clutches). Analysis reveals that after 180,000 miles in severe service, Signature Series Multi-Vehicle Synthetic ATF provides nearly identical friction properties as new fluid for smooth, reliable shifts.

It looks like it will prolongate life of the transmission.By  SERGEI,  a  Verified Buyer  from  MONTREAL-NORD  on  February 23, 2021It is very important to have a good transmission in the car. My Honda Odyssey 2016 has 250000 km runs and probably will need transmission repair soon. I want to prolongate life time of the transmission and that's why I'm going to use best quality transmission fluid. It is a bit expensive but savings of repairs are more important. I hope it will lasting long-term.Bottom LineYes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Automatic Transmission Fluid ChangeBy  EVERETT,  a  Verified Buyer  from  Herington, KS.  on  February 21, 2021I have used Amsoil products for many years. The reason is simple. The product is the best you can buy in my opinion.Bottom LineYes, I would recommend this to a friend.

SmoothUsed in 2015 gmc sierra 6.2l 8 speed. 45k . Had been serviced under warranty at 30k due to torque converter judder, judder came back at 45k ( only 15k since service) . Changed fluid with amsoil this time. Judder is gone again, but furthermore, shifts feel more positive now. Took only a few miles of city driving for adaptive shifting to adjust for the different and non worn fluid. Truck has never driven this smooth!Bottom LineYes, I would recommend this to a friend.

ATF goodnessI used this oil at 30,000 mile service on a 2014 Chevy Cruze 1.4 turbo . Seeing as these do not have a serviceable filter for the transmission, I installed a remote unit. I change the fluid and filter every 30,000 miles. I now have over 211,000 miles and have no problems with it. I use AMSOIL for all the fluids on this vehicle as it is my primary commuter for work. This is by far the best oil I have ever used.Bottom LineYes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Give it a try! You will be happy you did!Bottom LineYes, I would recommend this to a friend.
