Torque-Drive® Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid
Product code : ATD1G-EA
For use in Allison, MAN, Voith, ZF and other heavy-duty transmissions
Torque-Drive® Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid
Engineered to eliminate deficiencies common to conventional petroleum ATFs, AMSOIL Torque-Drive provides superior performance and protection against thermal and oxidative degradation, sludge and varnish formation, viscosity shear down, cold-temperature oil thickening, poor friction stability, high component wear and shortened oil life. Automatic transmission operating expenses can be directly linked to transmission fluid quality. Immediate financial benefits are possible upon the installation of AMSOIL Torque-Drive. Vehicles stay on the road longer, unnecessary labor and maintenance costs are reduced, and the return on costly transmission investments is maximized. AMSOIL Torque-Drive is a multi-functional fluid ideal for mixed fleets of vehicles, meeting the most stringent heavy-duty transmission specifications and helping eliminate compatibility concerns and misapplication.
Wear Protection
Transmissions operating under severe-service conditions can cause transmission fluid to break down and allow damaging metal-to-metal contact and increased wear. AMSOIL Torque-Drive is formulated to exceed industry requirements. Its top-of-the-line synthetic base oils and premium additives deliver superior viscosity retention and high film strength to help prevent wear and reduce operating temperatures during severe-service operating conditions.
Friction Durability
Oxidation by-products destroy the sensitive friction characteristics of transmission fluids, resulting in the rapid degradation of shift quality. The thermal and oxidative stability inherent in AMSOIL Torque-Drive helps ensure consistent, smooth clutch engagement in heavy-duty applications throughout the life of the fluid. AMSOIL Torque-Drive maintains proper coefficients of friction, and helps prevent clutch glazing and elongated shift times.
EXTREME TEMPERATURE PERFORMANCE
Hot operating conditions are no excuse for poor transmission reliability. By delivering a slower-than-normal oxidation rate, AMSOIL Torque-Drive helps prevent sludge that blocks small valves and varnish that restricts component movement, and reduces oil thickening that slows shift times.
In cold temperatures, AMSOIL Torque-Drive easily flows, as it does not contain the wax found in conventional ATFs. Cold-temperature fluidity allows for the proper operation of small, delicate, electronically controlled solenoids that affect gear changes. Transmissions using AMSOIL Torque-Drive have quick response times during cold operation and can be used immediately upon startup.

ExcellentI use it in my 6 speed t56 (Corvette) and have had great luck with all AMSOIL products. This Vette is used for racing only.Bottom LineYes, I would recommend this to a friend.
-
I use Amsoil lubes in all my vehiclesI use this in my motorhome and my pickup.
-
Best EverSmoother shifts lower temps. Everything could ask forBottom LineYes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Not as good as it used to be.By  Benjamin Accardo,  a  Verified Buyer  from  Slidell LA  on  May 25, 2019I put this in my Tremec 6060 and it made it shift like a tractor. Put my regular fluid back in it and it works fine now.Merchant Response
We're sorry to hear that Benjamin. I'm sharing your comment with our Technical Services department.Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend. -
Great trans fluidThe trans appears to be working much smoother.Bottom LineYes, I would recommend this to a friend.

works greatBy  nastyedwin,  a  Verified Buyer  from  creston, ohio  on  June 13, 2018it made my ZF 6 speed behind my Duramax. shift much easier and smootherBottom LineYes, I would recommend this to a friend.
-
I will only buy AmsoilThere is so much time spent on testing this product,That's why I feel that I can completely rely on the Amsoil line of products.Bottom LineYes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Great high temp product.I use this trans fluid for street and track use. During track use in Florida I see temps hovering around 250 F on my transmission. During inspection of the fluid after the track day... it looks like new. I've been using Amsoil products for 25 years now and would NEVER use anything else on the track!Bottom LineYes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Cool Runner.I be installing this trans fluid in a 2001 Silverado 8.1 that has an allison . This is a 1ton Dually that pulls a fifth wheel travel trailer. Looking forward to it running cooler and smoother. I have watched several you tube videos on how to change it So as soon as it's not cold outside I'll give it a try.
