PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic Universal Automatic 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 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 Universal ATF reduces
confusion, misapplications and inventories. It eliminates the
need for costly and suspect
“one-treatment-coversall”
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.
