Torque-Drive Automatic Transmission Fluid
|
|
Product Code: ATD |
Engineered to eliminate deficiencies common to all conventional
petroleum ATFs, AMSOIL Torque-Drive provides superior performance
and protection against thermal and oxidative degradation, sludge and
varnish formation, viscosity shear down, cold-temperature oil
thickening, poor friction stability, high component wear and
shortened oil life. Automatic transmission operating expenses can be
directly linked to transmission fluid quality. Poor-quality oils
need frequent changes and reduce the effective service life of
transmissions. Delivering maximum oxidation resistance, wear control
and friction performance, AMSOIL Torque-Drive extends lubricant life
and provides protection beyond that possible from conventional ATFs.
Immediate financial benefits are possible upon the installation of
AMSOIL Torque-Drive. Vehicles stay on the road longer, unnecessary
labor and maintenance costs are reduced, and the return on costly
transmission investments is maximized.

Thermal and Oxidative Stability Hot
weather and operating conditions are no excuse for poor transmission
reliability. By delivering a slower than normal oxidation rate,
AMSOIL Torque-Drive® prevents sludge that blocks small valves,
prevents varnish that restricts component movement and reduces oil
thickening that slows down shift times. AMSOIL Torque-Drive® lasts
longer than conventional ATFs, protects better than conventional
ATFs and extends transmission life beyond that possible with
conventional ATFs. |

Shear Stable
Conventional automatic transmission fluids use petroleum oils with
viscosity index (VI) improvers added to increase the oil's
operational temperature range. Over time, VI improvers shear down,
promoting premature wear by leaving only a thin base oil to protect
vital transmission components. AMSOIL Torque-Drive® does not contain
VI improvers, which means no VI improver shear down regardless of
the operating environment. The unmatched film strength of AMSOIL
Torque-Drive® prevents wear, significantly increasing the
transmission service life. |

Friction Durability
Oxidation by-products destroy the sensitive friction characteristics
of transmission fluids, resulting in the rapid degradation of shift
quality. The thermal and oxidative stability inherent in AMSOIL
Torque-Drive® assures consistent, smooth clutch engagement with no
harsh shifting throughout the life of the fluid. AMSOIL
Torque-Drive® maintains proper coefficients of friction, prevents
clutch glazing and prevents elongated shift times. |

Extreme Temperature Performance
Transmissions operate in temperature extremes. In hot temperatures,
the synthetic construction of AMSOIL Torque-Drive virtually
eliminates oil evaporation and delivers a better lubricating film
than conventional oils for better overall protection of vital
components. Oil consumption is reduced and transmissions require
less maintenance.
In cold temperatures,
AMSOIL Torque-Drive easily flows, as it does not contain the wax
found in conventional ATFs. Cold-temperature fluidity allows for the
proper operation of small, delicate, electronically controlled
solenoids that affect gear changes. Unlike conventional ATFs,
transmissions using AMSOIL Torque-Drive have quick response times
during cold operation and can be used immediately upon startup. |

Product
Applications AMSOIL recommends Torque-Drive
for use in heavy-duty, on- and off-highway automatic transmissions
requiring any of the following specifications: Allison® TES 295, TES
389, C-4; Voith® 55.6336.XX; ZF® TE-ML 14C; GM Dexron® III; Ford
Mercon®; Mercedes-Benz® 236.10. Examples of operations that benefit
from using AMSOIL Torque-Drive include municipal or transit buses,
motor coaches, garbage haulers, motor homes, delivery vans,
emergency vehicles, school buses, dump trucks, utility vehicles,
cement trucks, line haul trucks and tow trucks. Torque-Drive is
designed to replace TranSynd® brand synthetic automatic transmission
fluid for use in Allison® transmissions.
