SUPERIOR, Wis. — AMSOIL Inc. has introduced the AMSOIL Signature Series Ultra-Low Viscosity 100% Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid and the AMSOIL Severe Gear 75W-85 Extreme-Pressure Gear Lube for severe-duty applications.
The AMSOIL Signature Series Ultra-Low Viscosity 100% Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid is designed specifically for transmissions requiring Ford Mercon ULV and GM Dexron ULV specifications.
The Ford and GM 10-speed transmissions provide improved power and performance in trucks, SUVs and high-performance cars. These units are designed to improve fuel efficiency, while managing ever-increasing horsepower, payload and towing capacities, which create additional heat and pressure inside the transmission, the company said. Elevated temperatures cause fluids to break down, allowing damaging metal-to-metal contact and the formation of sludge and deposits.
The Signature Series ULV 100% Synthetic ATF is engineered to withstand extreme heat and pressure to resist shear, while delivering a boost of antioxidants to defend against sludge and varnish deposits, AMSOIL said.
Formulated with friction modifiers, the ATF helps extend equipment life and remains fluid in sub-zero temperatures.
The AMSOIL Severe Gear 75W-85 Extreme-Pressure Gear Lube is engineered for severe-duty applications that face towing, hauling, steep-hill driving, plowing and racing.
The gear lube maintains its viscosity and protects against metal-to-metal contact, the company said, noting a proprietary blend of additives form an iron-sulfide barrier coating on gear surfaces to defend against wear, pitting and scoring.
It resists breakdown from high heat and delivers protection in both hot and cold temperature extremes, the company said.
