PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic Low-Viscosity Automatic Transmission Fluid
(ATL) is engineered to exceed the requirements of GM, Ford and
Toyota where low-viscosity oil is required. The
highly-specialized properties of this light-bodied fluid
provide outstanding performance without compromising
protection, even in severe operating conditions.
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. Traditional ATFs, however, are unable to meet
these extreme requirements, and new fluids have emerged with
each new advancement in transmission engineering. AMSOIL,
with its original introduction of a synthetic ATF in 1980,
remains the leader in transmission fluid quality. AMSOIL
Synthetic Low-Viscosity Automatic Transmission Fluid is
formulated with the highest-quality components to exceed the
most stringent industry standards. The quality and
performance of AMSOIL Synthetic ATF is guaranteed.
Fully Fortified
• Anti-wear/extreme-pressure agents—Extend
gear life
• Durable friction modifiers—Anti-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
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 Low- Viscosity
Automatic Transmission Fluid 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 Low-Viscosity
ATF protects hot-running transmissions.
Cold-Temperature Fluidity –
Cold, thick automatic transmission fluid lengthens shift
times and reduces energy efficiency (fuel economy). AMSOIL
Synthetic Low-Viscosity ATF is wax-free and delivers
extraordinary cold-flow per formance (<-60°F pour point).
It helps improve shifting response and energy efficiency
while reducing warm-up times.
OUTSTANDING WEAR PROTECTION
Varying speeds and loads causes torque multiplication and
extreme stress on gears and bearings. To prevent wear damage
resulting from insufficient fluid film, AMSOIL Synthetic
Low-Viscosity ATF is formulated with high film strength (shear
stability) and a select anti-wear/extreme-pressure additive
that develops a boundary layer of protection between metal
surfaces. Even though AMSOIL Synthetic Low-Viscosity Automatic
Transmission Fluid 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 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
Modern transmissions are smaller in design, yet are called upon
to deliver smoother shifts and longer fluid-life capabilities
in higher-horsepower and higher-torque conditions. AMSOIL
placed great emphasis
on developing a fluid to effectively address the complex
demands related to friction. AMSOIL Synthetic Low-Viscosity
Automatic Transmission Fluid delivers outstanding
clutch-holding capacity (static friction), torque transfer
ability (dynamic friction) and anti-shudder properties
(slipping torque-converter clutches).
APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL Synthetic Low-Viscosity Automatic Transmission Fluid is
recommended for automatic transmissions and other applications
requiring DEXRON® VI, MERCON® LV, SP or Toyota WS.
AMSOIL Synthetic Low-Viscosity Automatic Transmission Fluid
is backward compatible and replaces DEXRON® III fluids in older
GM automatic transmissions. (DEXRON® VI specification
supersedes the obsolete DEXRON® III in GM vehicles.)
*Not for use with CVT or Ford Type F applications.
EXTENDED FLUID SERVICE LIFE
Most drivers are unaware that transmissions commonly operate
under severe service and require shorter fluid drain intervals.
AMSOIL Synthetic Low-Viscosity 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 or during heavy use; even during
abuse. Drivers can count on AMSOIL Low-Viscosity ATF to provide
protection beyond conventional fluids.
