AMSOIL Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid

AMSOIL Synthetic Universal Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF)

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.

Lasts up to three times longer than conventional oil for extended drain intervals. Saves time and costly maintenance expenses. Superior hot and cold weather performance. Improves efficiency and typically reduces operating temperatures by as much as 50°F.

AMSOIL Synthetic ATF Excels in MERCON® V Aluminum Beaker Oxidation Test (Even after MERCON-V has been updated)

Resists Oxidation and Thermal Degradation
AMSOIL ATF resists thermal and oxidation 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.

Extended 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, multifunctional fluid and greatly reduces the need for specialized fluid inventories and the possibilities of misapplication.

AMSOIL ATF is recommended for automotive and hydraulic applications requiring any of the following specifications:

• GM DEXRON® II, DEXRON III & VI
• Ford MERCON®, MERCON® V & SP
• Chrysler ATF+ through ATF+4®
• Honda Z-1 (Not for use in CVT transmissions)
• Toyota Type T and T-IV

SERVICE LIFE
AMSOIL Synthetic Universal Automatic Transmission Fluid is recommended for use up to 60,000 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.

HEALTH & SAFETY
This product is not expected to cause health concerns when used for the intended application and according to the recommendations in the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). MSDS's are available upon request at 715-392-7101 or on our website. Keep Out of Reach of Children. Don't pollute. Return used oil to collection centers.

AMSOIL ATF Maximizes Automatic Transmission Efficiency and Life

Over 40 percent of total energy loss in an automatic transmission can be attributed to the act of pumping automatic transmission fluid to the transmission’s working components during transfer of power. The mechanical efficiency of an automatic transmission is directly affected by the viscosity of the transmission fluid. When temperatures drop and cause ATF to thicken, transmission efficiency and power decline. Industry tests on torque loss demonstrate that a temperature increase of 150 degrees F increases transmission efficiency by up to 37.5 percent. In other words, as viscosity decreases, transmission efficiency increases.
Higher quality automatic transmission fluids can have a profound impact on transmission efficiency. Automatic transmission fluids with lower cold temperature pumpability properties effectively keep transmissions running efficiently during cold weather, maximizing both transmission power and fuel economy.
The Brookfield Viscosity Test gauges a transmission fluid’s viscosity in cold temperature conditions. Current industry specifications dictate that Brookfield Viscosity not exceed 20,000 cP. While the average conventional transmission fluid has a Brookfield Viscosity of 15,000 cP, AMSOIL Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid far exceeds the minimum standard with a Brookfield Viscosity of 7,454 cP, ensuring maximum transmission efficiency and power even in the coldest winter temperatures.

AMSOIL Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid exhibits outstanding oxidation stability, preventing viscosity increase that leads to reduced transmission efficiency and cold temperature performance. While the use of AMSOIL ATF ensures maximum transmission efficiency, its shear stability and premium antiwear additives also ensure superior wear protection, exceeding industry
standards in the Four-Ball Wear Test, FZG Test, Vickers Wear Test and Falex Extreme Pressure Test.

Also meets specifications for these heavy duty units: HT754CR, HT750DRD, HT740, MT654CR, MT644, MT653, MT643 and most others.

AMSOIL ATF is popular with hundreds of city and state fleets as it reduces heat related transmission failures, improves winter performance, and because it lasts three times longer and is universal, it drastically reduces inventories. This saves taxpayers tens of thousands of dollars!
