Engineered for
outstanding performance in heavy-duty transmissions manufactured by
Allison, Voith, ZF, Ford, GM and Mercedes-Benz. Excellent protection
in temperature extremes. Ensures consistent, smooth clutch
engagement over the life of the fluid and controls clutch glazing
and elongated shift times.
AMSOIL recommends Torque-Drive® for
use in all automatic transmissions requiring any of the following
specifications: Allison® TES 295, TES 389, C-4; Voith® 55.6336.XX;
ZF® TE-ML 14C; GM Dexron® III; Ford Mercon®; Mercedes-Benz® 236.10
Engineered to eliminate 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 reduce the
effective service life of transmissions. Delivering maximum
oxidation resistance, wear control and friction performance, AMSOIL
Torque-Drive extends lubricant life and provides protection beyond
that possible from conventional ATFs. Immediate financial benefits
are possible upon the installation of AMSOIL Torque-Drive. Vehicles
stay on the road longer, unnecessary labor and maintenance costs are
reduced, and the return on costly transmission investments is
maximized.
THERMAL AND OXIDATIVE
STABILITY
Hot operating conditions are no excuse for poor transmission
reliability. By delivering a slower-than-normal oxidation rate,
AMSOIL Torque-Drive helps prevent sludge that blocks small valves
and varnish that restricts component movement, and reduces oil
thickening that slows shift times. AMSOIL Torque-Drive lasts longer
than conventional ATFs, protects better than conventional ATFs and
extends transmission life beyond that possible with conventional
ATFs.
SHEAR STABLE
Conventional automatic transmission fluids use petroleum oils with
viscosity index (VI) improvers added to increase the oil's
operational temperature range. Over time, VI improvers shear down,
promoting premature wear by leaving only a thin base oil to protect
vital transmission components. AMSOIL Torque-Drive does not contain
VI improvers, which means no VI improver shear-down regardless of
the operating environment. The exceptional film strength of AMSOIL
Torque-Drive greatly reduces wear, promoting longer transmission
service life.
FRICTION DURABILITY
Oxidation by-products destroy the sensitive friction characteristics
of transmission fluids, resulting in the rapid degradation of shift
quality. The thermal and oxidative stability inherent in AMSOIL
Torque-Drive helps ensure consistent, smooth clutch engagement with
no harsh shifting throughout the life of the fluid. AMSOIL
Torque-Drive maintains proper coefficients of friction, and helps
prevent clutch glazing and elongated shift times.
EXTREME TEMPERATURE
PERFORMANCE
Transmissions operate in temperature extremes. In hot temperatures,
the synthetic construction of AMSOIL Torque-Drive virtually
eliminates oil evaporation and delivers a better lubricating film
than conventional oils for better overall protection of vital
components. Oil consumption is reduced and transmissions require
less maintenance.
In cold temperatures, AMSOIL
Torque-Drive easily flows, as it does not contain the wax found in
conventional ATFs. Cold-temperature fluidity allows for the proper
operation of small, delicate, electronically controlled solenoids
that affect gear changes. Unlike conventional ATFs, transmissions
using AMSOIL Torque-Drive have quick response times during cold
operation and can be used immediately upon startup.
Product Applications
AMSOIL recommends Torque-Drive for use in heavy-duty, on- and
off-highway automatic transmissions requiring any of the following
specifications: Allison® TES 295, TES 389, C-4; Voith® 55.6336.XX;
ZF® TE-ML 14C; GM Dexron® III; Ford Mercon®; Mercedes-Benz® 236.10.
Examples of operations that benefit from using AMSOIL Torque-Drive
include municipal or transit buses, motor coaches, garbage haulers,
motor homes, delivery vans, emergency vehicles, school buses, dump
trucks, utility vehicles, cement trucks, line haul trucks and tow
trucks. Torque-Drive is designed to replace TranSynd® brand
synthetic automatic transmission fluid for use in Allison®
transmissions.
SERVICE INTERVAL
Torque-Drive is recommended for use according to the extended
service interval established by the original equipment manufacturer
for the performance specifications identified above under Product
Applications.
