PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic Universal Transmission Fluid (ATF) is engineered 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 todays 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 fuel economy. AMSOIL Synthetic ATF is wax-free and delivers extraordinary cold-flow properties. 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 and premium anti-wear/extreme-pressure additives. AMSOIL Synthetic ATF protects transmissions during severe-duty service.
Friction Durability
Todays 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, torque-transfer ability and anti-shudder properties.
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.
APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL Synthetic Universal Automatic Transmission
Fluid is completely compatible with other synthetic and
petroleum automatic transmission fluids. AMSOIL ATF is
a universal, multi-functional fluid that greatly reduces the
need for specialized fluid inventories and the possibilities
of misapplication.
AMSOIL ATF is recommended for transmission, hydraulic
and other applications requiring any of the following
specifications:
SERVICE LIFE
AMSOIL Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid is
recommended for use up to 50,000 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.
