The transmission is one of the more easily neglected parts of your vehicle. It is easy to forget about it and before you know it you might be having some transmission problems, which usually means you have to get a new transmission. The price of a for a rebuilt transmission can range from $1900 to $4000 for a car or SUV. I know from first hand experience, I had my transmission rebuilt on my 03 GMC van with only 60,000 miles on it. I take care of my vehicles, had my transmission flushed like recommended, but didn't know about Amsoil at the time.
It is very important that you do a complete transmission flush and switch to Amsoil transmission fluids before the damage is done! Switch to Amsoil synthetic transmission fluid to keep your transmission cool in the summer or while towing, keep it shifting smooth in the winter and make it last longer.
Amsoil synthetic transmission fluid has a low pour point, which means when traditional transmission fluids are thick and like syrup in the winter, Amsoil will still be very fluid enabling it to circulate through out your transmission to keep it lubricated. If the transmission fluid doesn't circulate, parts that need lubrication aren't protected until the transmission fluid warms up and starts circulating.
I just switched to Amsoil ATF this past winter, I noticed an immediate difference in shifting leaving my house. With the traditional fluid it would take several minutes for it to shift smooth because the fluid was still like syrup. Once I put Amsoil ATF in my transmission, is shifted smooth as soon as I shifted into gear.
AMSOIL Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) exceeds the performance requirements for domestic and foreign automatic transmission fluid applications. AMSOIL ATF provides automatic transmissions, power steering units and hydraulic equipment with excellent lubricating protection and better performance over a wider temperature range than conventional automatic transmission fluids.
Please read over the latest (05/01/07) DATA BULLENTIN on ATF.
AMSOIL ATF resists thermal and oxidative degradation better than conventional transmission fluids, protecting clutches, planetary gears, valves, pumps and seals from damaging sludge and varnish deposits. AMSOIL ATF helps prevent component overheating and ensures cooler, smoother transmission operation.
AMSOIL ATF is a stable formulation that lasts longer in service than conventional ATFs. It maintains its viscosity, friction and lubricating properties for extended periods of time, even under severe conditions. AMSOIL ATF maximizes transmission performance and service life while reducing maintenance costs through longer drain intervals.
POWERSHIFT TRANSMISSION FLUIDS
Advanced Formulation for Powershift and Manual Transmissions, Wet Brakes and Final Drives AMSOIL Synthetic Powershift Transmission Fluids are specifically designed for high-torque heavy-duty powershift transmissions. Formulated for extended drain intervals, Powershift Transmission Fluids contain top-quality synthetic base stocks and a high level of top-quality additives selected specifically for powershift transmissions. They offer unmatched transmission friction performance, smooth brake operation, reduced gear and bearing wear and increased equipment life. AMSOIL Synthetic Powershift Transmission Fluids are compatible with common metallic and nonmetallic friction materials. Their stable frictional characteristics eliminate excessive brake noise and vibration. Their nonslip friction durability virtually eliminates clutch slippage, which can cause glazing or friction surface deposits and material degradation. Powershift Transmission Fluids are formulated to deliver responsive yet smooth clutch engagements, excellent power transmission through clutches and synchronizers and superior hydraulic fluid performance for servo-equipped units.
AMSOIL Synthetic Super Shift®Racing Transmission Fluid is specifically formulated for automatic transmissions operating in high-horsepower and high-torque conditions. AMSOIL SuperShift® contains top-quality additives selected specifically for racing applications. Its unmatched transmission friction performance provides high holding capacity for maximum torque transfer and brake power, reduced wear and longer clutch plate life. Super Shift® virtually eliminates slippage, promotes positive clutch engagement and improves overall shift performance, helping racers improve on elapsed times.
AMSOIL Synthetic Super Shift® Racing Transmission Fluid contains a robust additive system for extra protection, and its shear stable base oils prevent viscosity loss throughout its service life. Super Shift® provides long-term protection against equipment wear, even when the equipment is frequently subjected to sustained periods of applied pressure or high horsepower and high torque. Clutches, bearings and bushings last longer, saving money on transmission repairs.
AMSOIL Synthetic Synchromesh Transmission Fluid (MTF) is a premium quality synthetic lubricant designed to surpass the most demanding lubrication requirements of manual transmissions and transaxles where non-extreme pressure fluids are used.
MTF protects gears and bearings in extreme temperatures. It outperforms conventional oils and delivers outstanding performance from -40°F to 300°F. It maximizes energy efficiency and resists the effects of heat, oxidation, sludge and varnish deposits.
Unlike its mineral oil counterparts, MTF prevents the thinning effects of mechanical shear for stable viscosity, superior film strength and anti-wear performance. It protects against rust, keeps seals soft for long life, and is compatible with brass synchros for smooth synchromesh shift quality.
Synthetic Manual Transmission and Transaxle Gear Lube (MTG) is a premium blend of the finest synthetic base oils and advanced, high-performance additives. It is formulated specifically for maximum protection in the most demanding manual transmission and transaxle applications where an extreme pressure GL-4 gear lube is specified, including those where high horsepower/high torque engines and towing or heavy loads increase transmission stress.
AMSOIL MTG prevents the thinning effects of mechanical shear. It maintains its viscosity and superior film strength for consistent, long-lasting wear protection. MTG excels in hot and cold temperature extremes that exceed the limits of conventional mineral oils. It protects against rust, keeps seals soft for long life, and is compatible with brass synchros for smooth synchromesh shift quality.
Ideal for NV-4500 Transmissions MTG is a thermally stable, extreme pressure formulation that resists heat, oxidation, acid build-up and varnish. It is the ideal gear lube for high temperature applications, including the New Venture NV-4500 transmission, which retains heat due to its cast iron housing and is often subjected to heavy loads and high torque from turbo-diesel engines.
AMSOIL MTG is the replacement fluid for GM part #12346190 and Chrysler part #4874459 (Chrysler specification #MS-9070).
AMSOIL Torque-Drive™ Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid is based on the same type of chemistry as TransSynd®. This fine Infra-red (IR) scan, revealing a chemical "picture" of both products, shows no measurable differences.
Engineered to eliminate the 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 they reduce the effective service life of transmissions. Delivering the ultimate in oxidation resistance, wear control and friction performance, AMSOIL Torque-Drive™ extends lubricant life up to six times* and provides protection beyond that possible from conventional ATFs.
Vehicles stay on the road longer, unnecessary labor and maintenance costs are reduced, and the return on costly transmission investments is maximized. Immediate financial benefits are realized upon the installation of AMSOIL Torque-Drive™.
