AMSOIL Transmission fluid recommendations for
Cars and Light Duty Trucks
Product
Description
AMSOIL Synthetic Synchromesh Transmission Fluid
(MTF) is a premium-quality synthetic lubricant
designed to surpass the most demanding
lubrication requirements of manual
transmissions and transaxles where
non-extremepressure fluids are used.
AMSOIL Synthetic Synchromesh
Transmission Fluid protects gears and bearings
in extreme temperatures. It outperforms
conventional oils and delivers outstanding
performance from -40°F to 300°F. AMSOIL MTF
maximizes energy efficiency and resists the
effects of heat, oxidation, sludge and varnish
deposits.
Unlike its mineral oil
counterparts, AMSOIL Synthetic Manual
Synchromesh Transmission Fluid prevents the
thinning effects of mechanical shear for stable
viscosity, superior film strength and excellent
anti-wear performance. It protects against
rust, keeps seals soft for long life, and is
compatible with brass synchros for smooth
synchromesh shift quality.
Ideal for Many
General Motors, Chrysler, Honda and Other
Vehicles
AMSOIL Manual Synchromesh Transmission Fluid is
a higher quality, lower cost replacement for
multiple vehicle manufacturer-branded products.
This premium synthetic formulation provides
enhanced anti-wear protection and lasts longer
in service. AMSOIL Manual Synchromesh
Transmission Fluid exceeds the performance
requirements of both manual transmissions and
transaxles.
Excellent for Service
Centers
AMSOIL Manual Synchromesh Transmission Fluid is
a versatile transmission lubricant. It reduces
inventory needs, is readily available and is
cost-effective compared to vehicle
manufacturer-branded products.
