AMSOIL Transmission fluid recommendations for Cars and Light Duty Trucks
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
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 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 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.
