Hot temperatures are no excuse for poor reliability. Naturally heat-resistant and heavily fortified with anti-oxidants, AMSOIL Fuel Efficient Automatic Transmission Fluid exceeds the most demanding oxidation requirements. It delivers outstanding protection against sludge and varnish deposits that clod narrow oil passages and contribute to clutch glazing. AMSOIL Synthetic Fuel Efficient ATF protects hot-running transmissions.

Cold, thick automatic transmission fluid lengthens shift times and reduces energy efficiency (fuel economy). AMSOIL Synthetic Fuel Efficient Automatic Transmission Fluid is wax-free and delivers extraordinary cold-flow performance (<-60F pour point). It helps improve shifting response and energy efficiency while reducing warm-up times.

New AMSOIL Synthetic Fuel Efficient 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 fuel efficient 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 transmission 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 Synthetic Fuel Efficient Automatic Transmission Fluid is formulated with the highest-quality components to exceed the most stringent industry standards.

Many use synthetic transmission fluid in their cars. One product that is often used is the AMSOIL synthetic transmission fluid (ATF). This fluid exceeds the performance requirements for domestic and foreign automatic transmission fluid applications. It provides automatic transmissions, and some power steering units with excellent lubricating protection and better performance over a wider temperature range than conventional automatic transmission fluids.

Here are some features of the AMSOIL automatic transmission fluid:

~ resists oxidation and thermal degradation

~ provides low temperature protection

~ anti-wear protection

~ extends drain intervals

~ compatible with other synthetic and petroleum automatic transmission fluids

Transmission run hot , often leading to transmission fluid oxidation, causing clutch glazing and deterioration in shift quality. Clutch glazing can be felt as an elongated, slipping or sluggish shifting feel, and it’s usually a precursor to transmission failure. AMSOIL Synthetic Universal Transmission Fluid (ATF) provides maximum protection against oxidation and clutch glazing.

Although differential designs have remained relatively unchanged over the past 30 years, their operating environments have changed drastically. Modern differentials are subjected to as much as 93 percent more horsepower, towing limits up to 18,000 lbs, extreme operating temperatures and decreased fluid volume.

The subject of proper engine maintenance has plenty of attention in the media, and most motorists are aware of its importance to the reliability and life of a vehicle. If the vehicle’s engine stops working, a motorist is stranded. Very little attention, however, has been given to the stresses encountered by a vehicle’s transmission or differential. Transmission and differential maintenance is just as important as engine maintenance. After all, if the transmission or differential stop working, the motorist is equally as stranded.

Only a few years ago, the standard automatic transmission was a three speed. Today four, five and six speed transmissions are common, and one manufacturer produces an eight speed transmission. Modern transmissions and differentials are subjected to more horsepower, higher towing limits and hotter temperature extremes, and they contain more clutches and are subjected to additional shifting for the same driving speeds. Wear protection and oxidation resistance, therefore, are more important than ever. AMSOIL Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) provides excellent wear protection required for the GM DEXRON III and VI specifications and it resist oxidation two times longer than required for conventional automatic transmission fluids.
