AMSOIL Transmission fluid
recommendations for Cars and Light Duty
Trucks
PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION
to outperform conventional automatic
transmission fluids and exceed the performance
requirements of most North American, European
and Asian vehicles. This sophisticated
formulation provides outstanding performance
and protection in the severe operating
conditions of today’s most advanced
transmission designs. Automatic transmissions
have become increasingly complex as vehicle
manufacturers strive to improve efficiency
while satisfying consumer demands. Smaller,
smoother-shifting transmissions with longer
fluid-life capabilities and heavier load
capacities are now standard in modern
transmission design. Traditional ATFs, however,
are unable to meet these extreme requirements,
and new fluids have emerged with each new
advancement in transmission engineering. AMSOIL
first introduced a synthetic automatic
transmission fluid in 1980 and remains the
leader in transmission fluid quality. AMSOIL
Synthetic Universal ATF is formulated with the
highest-quality synthetic fluids and additives.
It exceeds the most stringent industry
standards and is universally recommended for a
wide range of transmissions. AMSOIL Synthetic
ATF reduces confusion, misapplications and
inventories. It eliminates the need for costly
and suspect “one-treatment-covers-all”
additives. The quality and performance of
AMSOIL Synthetic Universal ATF is
guaranteed.
Exceptional Hot- and Cold-
Temperature Performance
Thermal Stability – Hot
temperatures are no excuse for poor
reliability. Naturally heat resistant and
heavily fortified with anti-oxidants, AMSOIL
ATF exceeds the most demanding oxidation
requirements. AMSOIL ATF delivers outstanding
protection against sludge and varnish deposits
that clog narrow oil passages and contribute to
clutch glazing. Transmissions can operate
hotter and longer with AMSOIL ATF than with
conventional fluids.
Cold-Temperature Fluidity –
Cold, thick automatic transmission fluid
lengthens shift times and reduces energy
efficiency (fuel economy). AMSOIL Synthetic ATF
is wax-free and delivers extraordinary
cold-flow properties (< -60°F pour point).
Shifting is more responsive, energy efficiency
is improved and warm-up times are reduced.
OUTSTANDING WEAR
PROTECTION
Varying speeds and loads causes torque
multiplication and extreme stress on gears and
bearings. To prevent wear damage consistent
with low-quality fluid and ruptured fluid film,
AMSOIL formulated Synthetic Universal ATF with
high film strength (shear stability) and
premium anti-wear/extreme-pressure additives
(boundary film barrier). AMSOIL Synthetic ATF
protects transmissions during severe-duty
service.
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 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
torqueconverter clutches).
EXTENDS FLUID SERVICE
LIFE
Most drivers are unaware that transmissions
commonly operate under severe service and
require shorter fluid drain intervals. AMSOIL
Synthetic Universal ATF is a long-life fluid
capable of extended service intervals. It
provides an extra margin of protection,
especially when fluid change intervals are
missed or during heavy use; even during abuse.
Drivers can count on AMSOIL Synthetic Universal
ATF to provide protection beyond conventional
fluids.
