AMSOIL Fuel Efficient Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid

Increasing Demands are Being Placed on Transmission Fluids

Automatic transmissions have become increasingly complex as vehicle manufacturers strive to improve efficiency while satisfying consumer demands. Today's automatic transmissions are built to smaller design specifications than yesterday's transmissions. Shorter automobile frames and innovative drive train designs have called for transmissions to be scaled down and, at the same time, have tighter tolerances and higher energy densities than ever before. These design changes have caused transmissions to generate more heat, which has placed a demand on transmission fluids past anything the industry has seen before. The combination of higher operating temperatures and reduced oil volumes calls for fluids that can not only maintain performance at higher temperatures, but must also meet the longer service life that original equipment manufacturers are recommending. Traditional automatic transmission fluids are unable to meet these extreme requirements and new fluids have emerged with each new advancement in transmission engineering. AMSOIL Fuel Efficient Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid is formulated with the highest-quality components to exceed the most stringent industry standards.

Protects Hot Transmissions, Faster Cold-Weather Starts

AMSOIL Fuel Efficient Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid provides automatic transmissions with excellent lubricating protection and better performance over a wider temperature range than conventional automatic transmission fluids. Hot temperatures are no excuse for poor reliability. Naturally heat resistant and heavily fortified with anti-oxidants, AMSOIL Fuel Efficient Synthetic ATF exceeds the most demanding oxidation requirements. It delivers outstanding protection against sludge and varnish deposits that clog narrow oil passages and contribute to clutch glazing. AMSOIL Fuel Efficient Synthetic ATF protects hot transmissions.

Not only does AMSOIL Fuel Efficient Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid cool and protect hot-running transmissions far better than conventional fluids, but it also remains fluid down to -63° F. The efficiency of an automatic transmission is directly affected by the viscosity of the transmission fluid. Cold, thick automatic transmission fluid lengthens shift times and reduces energy efficiency (fuel economy). Higher quality automatic transmission fluids can have a profound impact on transmission efficiency. AMSOIL Fuel Efficient Synthetic ATF is wax-free and delivers extraordinary cold-flow properties, exceeding the the cold-temperature fluidity required by current automatic transmission fluid specifications. That means that while some fluids barely circulate in a cold transmission, AMSOIL Fuel Efficient Synthetic ATF is on the job, providing outstanding lubrication and protection, easier cold-weather starts, faster warm-ups, smoother shifting and improved fuel efficiency.

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 transmission fluids and insufficient fluid film, AMSOIL Fuel Efficient Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid is formulated with high film strength for shear stability and a select anti-wear/extreme-pressure additive that develops a boundary layer of protection between metal surfaces. Even though AMSOIL Synthetic Fuel Efficient ATF is a low-viscosity, fuel-efficient fluid, it has demonstrated its ability to protect as well as or better than higher-viscosity fluids in the most severe industry tests.

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 placed great emphasis on developing a fluid to effectively address the complex demands related to friction. AMSOIL Fuel Efficient Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid is formulated with friction modifier additives that deliver outstanding clutch-holding capacity, torque transfer ability and anti-shudder properties.

Fully Fortified

AMSOIL Fuel Efficient Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid is formulated with the highest-quality synthetic fluids and additives. It is fully fortified:

• Anti-wear/extreme-pressure agents to extend gear life
• Durable friction modifiers prevent shudder
• Anti-oxidants extend fluid life
• Seal conditioners reduce leaks
• Detergents and dispersants keep clean and control deposits
• Corrosion inhibitors control rust
• Anti-foam agents improve hydraulic function

Extends Fluid Service Life

AMSOIL Fuel Efficient Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid is a long-life fluid capable of extended service intervals. It provides an extra margin of protection, especially when fluid change intervals are missed, during heavy use and even during abuse. Most drivers are unaware that transmissions commonly operate under severe service and require shorter fluid drain intervals — transmissions are subjected to extensive idling, frequent short trips, cold-temperature driving, sustained hot-weather driving or trailer towing. Drivers can count on AMSOIL Fuel Efficient Synthetic ATF to provide protection beyond conventional fluids. Recommendations for cars and light-duty trucks:

GM DEXRON VI:

Normal Service*: 100,000 miles (160,000 km)

Severe Service*: 50,000 miles (80,000 km)

Ford MERCON LV, SP:

Normal and Severe Service*: Follow vehicle manufacturer's recommendations

Toyota WS:

Normal Service*: 100,000 miles (160,000 km)

Severe Service*: 60,000 miles (96,000 km)

*Defined by OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer)

Applications

AMSOIL Fuel Efficient Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid is recommended for automatic transmissions and other applications requiring GM DEXRON VI, Ford MERCON LV, SP or Toyota WS. AMSOIL Synthetic Fuel Efficient ATF is backward compatible and replaces DEXRON III fluids in older GM automatic transmissions. (DEXRON VI specification supersedes the obsolete DEXRON III in GM vehicles.) It is not recommended for use in CVT or Ford Type F applications.
