AMSOIL Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid for Smooth Shifting
The motoring public has two concerns about their automatic transmissions: smooth shifting and no repairs. They don't know that the fluid that protects their automatic transmissions, ATF, is the most complex lubricant of all, and the smooth shifting and maintenance-free operation they want requires a superior fluid - AMSOIL Synthetic ATF.
 Just how complex is ATF? Take a look at what it does. It transfers power from the engine to the drive-train, acts as a hydraulic fluid in the valve body, provides proper friction performance, lubricates gears and bushings, prevents corrosion of transmission parts, removes heat from clutch interfaces, provides good sealing and opertes without foaming. But what you car most about is smooth shifting and no repairs.
Smooth Shifting
Because AMSOIL ATF is a top-quality synthetic fluid, it is highly resistant to thermal and oxidative breakdown, which allows it to keep its smooth shifting characteristics over extended drain intervals. In fact, High Temperature Fluid Life Tests (see graph) show AMSOIL ATF resists high temperature degradation three times longer than conventional (petroleum) fluids do. In most automatic transmission applications, AMSOIL ATF is a fill-for-life fluid.
Maintenance-Free
AMSOIL ATF provides the best automatic transmission protection money can buy. Its superior resistance to thermal and oxidative breakdown keeps transmission parts free of varnish and sludge, which cause breakage, decrease fuel economy and impair performance.
Thermal and oxidative stability are more important now than ever before, due to the aerodynamic body designs and high engine operating temperatures. Auto-makers have been under the gun to produce fuel efficient vehicles. The reduced drag offered by aerodynamic body design offers significant improvements in fuel efficiency. However, aerodynamic bodies have reduced airflow to the transmission, so it runs hot.
The superior low temperature fluidity of AMSOIL ATF ensures rapid transmission lubrication and wear protection in cold temperature operations. Conventional fluids often require significant time after vehicle startup to regain their fluidity.
Today, most transmissions are electronically controlled, and electronic controls have small orifices in the valve body. Only ATFs with good cold temperature fluidity flow through these small orifices in fold temperatures and lubricate the clutch packs, which are located on the far side of the orifices.
Pay Now or Pay Later
We all know what car prices are these days. Did you know that most consumers would prefer to sell their vehicle and buy a different one instead of paying for an automatic transmission repair?
Why should anyone sacrifice a vehicle to transmission problems? Replace the automatic transmission fluid with AMSOIL Synthetic ATF. For smooth shifting and maintenance-free operation and long transmission life, it can't be beat.
