Signature Series Fuel-Efficient Synthetic
Automatic Transmission Fluid
|
Product Code: ATLPK |
A fuel efficient automatic transmission fluid
recommended for GM, Ford and Toyota transmissions where lighter
viscosity oil is required. Provides the same excellent protection
and performance as AMSOIL ATF. Recommended for vehicles requiring GM
DEXRON® VI, Ford MERCON® LV and SP, Honda DW-1, Nissan Matic-S and
Toyota WS fluid specifications.
Transmissions in commercial vehicles, SUVs,
trucks and vans particularly those used for hauling or towing
are subjected to severe-service operation and increased heat.
Elevated temperatures cause fluids to break down, allowing damaging
metal-to-metal contact and the formation of sludge and deposits. The
problem is worse in modern transmissions with more gears, clutch
packs and narrow oil passages that require clean, high-quality fluid
to achieve maximum performance and life.
AMSOIL Signature Series Synthetic Automatic
Transmission Fluid is specifically formulated to withstand the
rigors of heavy towing, elevated temperatures and challenging
terrain. It remains fluid in sub-zero temperatures and provides
reserve protection during heavy use and even abuse
Package sizes include:
- Quart Bottle
- 2.5-Gallon Bottle
- 30-Gallon Drum
- 55-Gallon Drum

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
performance (<-60°F pour point). It helps improve shifting response
and energy efficiency while reducing warm-up times.

Proven in 100,000-mile, Severe-Service Taxi Fleet Field Trial
To demonstrate its effectiveness in severe service, Signature Series
Multi-Vehicle Synthetic ATF was installed in vehicles owned by a Las
Vegas cab company. The vehicles routinely encountered demanding
stop-and-go driving loaded with passengers and cargo, while the
desert environment presented extremely hot ambient temperatures,
placing enormous strain on the fluid. Following 100,000 miles, a
transmission was selected for analysis. The Aluminum Beaker
Oxidation Test (ABOT) is one industry-accepted method used to
determine a transmission fluid's oxidation resistance, which is a
good indicator of its service life. Testing by an independent,
third-party lab reveals that after 100,000 miles in severe service,
Signature Series Multi-Vehicle Synthetic ATF resisted oxidation
longer than required for new fluid to meet the Chrysler ATF+4
specification (see graph). Internal components, including the valve
body and clutch plates (pictured), were virtually free of damaging
sludge, deposits and wear, confirming the lubricant's high level of
protection for severe-service applications.

Protects Against Thermal Breakdown
Signature Series Synthetic ATF is formulated
with high concentrations of antioxidants, making it naturally heat
resistant. As a result, it provides outstanding protection against
sludge and varnish deposits that clog narrow oil passages and
contribute to clutch glazing. After 100,000 miles in severe service,
fluid analysis revealed Signature Series Multi-Vehicle Synthetic ATF
contained 41 percent of its original oxidation inhibitors, proving
its long-lasting resistance to thermal breakdown.

Outstanding Wear Protection
Varying speeds and loads causes torque multiplication and extreme
stress on gears and bearings. AMSOIL formulated Signature Series
Synthetic ATF with high film strength and premium
anti-wear/extreme-pressure additives to help prevent wear during
severe service. In the industry-standard FZG Gear Wear Test,
Signature Series Multi-Vehicle Synthetic ATF that had been used for
100,000 severe-service miles achieved a "Pass" at stage 12 - the
highest stage. The results exceeded the Ford MERCON V and Chrysler
ATF+4 specifications for new fluid, demonstrating the lubricant's
long-lasting wear protection. |

Cold-Temperature Fluidity
Cold, thick automatic transmission fluid
lengthens shift times and reduces fuel economy. Signature Series
Synthetic ATF is wax-free and delivers extraordinary cold-flow
properties (< -60°F pour point). It helps improve shift response,
energy efficiency and warm-up times
|
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 Signature Series 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 torque-converter clutches). Analysis reveals
that after 100,000 miles in severe service, Signature Series
Multi-Vehicle Synthetic ATF provides nearly identical friction
properties as new fluid for smooth, reliable shifts.
