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.

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.
