AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID TYPE

Note. Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) was developed especially for automatic transmissions. It requires additives which are carefully matched with each other, a high viscosity index and a solidification point below -40°F (-40°C). Friction behavior of ATF in plate-type clutches under very different operating conditions is extremely important. Other important factors are: Wear protection Oil film shear resistance Adhesive property Oxidation resistance Corrosion inhibition Sludge prevention Temperature-dependent viscosity changes Compatibility with sealing materials

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL CHECK

Note. Checking fluid level may be necessary if there is evidence of a leak, a complaint related to fluid level, or repairs made to transmission.
