ATF and Transmission Filter Change Procedures (45k PDF)
AMSOIL Transmission fluid recommendations for Cars and Light Duty Trucks
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
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.
Resists Oxidation and Thermal Degradation
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.
Provides Low Temperature Protection
AMSOIL ATF outperforms petroleum fluids in low temperature fluidity. In fact, AMSOIL ATF offers twice the cold temperature fluidity required by current automatic transmission fluid specifications. AMSOIL ATF provides easier starting, faster warm-ups, smoother shifting and improved fuel economy.
Antiwear Protection
AMSOIL ATF provides smooth shifting and long, trouble-free transmission life. In addition, the antiwear additive package makes AMSOIL ATF an excellent lubricant in other hydraulic systems. In tests designed to measure wear characteristics under severe service and high pressure operating conditions, AMSOIL ATF far exceeds the requirements of hydraulic equipment manufacturers.
Extends Drain Intervals
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.
APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL Synthetic Universal Automatic Transmission Fluid is completely compatible with other synthetic and petroleum automatic transmission fluids. AMSOIL ATF is a universal, multi-functional fluid that greatly reduces the need for specialized fluid inventories and the possibilities of misapplication.
AMSOIL ATF is recommended for transmission, hydraulic and other applications requiring any of the following specifications:
SERVICE LIFE
AMSOIL Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid is recommended for use up to 60,000 miles under severe service* and up to 100,000 miles under normal service* or according to the vehicle manufacturer recommended intervals, whichever is longer. AMSOIL recommends thoroughly draining the transmission and flushing with new AMSOIL ATF to achieve a minimum 90% purity of new transmission fluid. Drain intervals may be extended further with oil analysis.
* As defined by the vehicle or transmission manufacturer.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic Super Shift® Racing Transmission Fluid is specifically formulated for automatic transmissions operating in high horsepower and high torque conditions. AMSOIL Super Shift® 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.
Wear Protection
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.
Extreme Temperature Performance
AMSOIL Synthetic Super Shift® Racing Transmission Fluid is highly effective against heat and wear, reducing transmission temperature and minimizing or eliminating burned up transmissions. Its superior oxidative and thermal stability inhibits the formation of varnish, deposits and sludge so equipment runs clean. Super Shift® acts as a heat transfer fluid and by controlling clutch slippage it helps reduce operating temperatures of hot transmissions by up to 50° F. In low temperatures, Super Shift® flows readily for dependable startup and poststartup protection.
Copper Corrosion, Rust and Foam Inhibition
AMSOIL Synthetic Super Shift® Racing Transmission Fluid protects equipment from copper corrosion and rust, even during equipment storage. It controls foaming for reduced component wear and responsive clutch plate engagements.
RECOMMENDATIONS
AMSOIL Synthetic Super Shift® Racing Transmission Fluid is recommended for automatic transmissions coupled to high horsepower, high torque engines. It is also recommended where heavy loads place a high demand on transmissions. Recommended where Allison C-4 or Ford Type F is required. Suggested automatic transmission applications::
• Drag Racing Cars and Trucks
• Monster Trucks
• Stock Cars
• Off Road 4x4 Vehicles
• Street Hot Rods
COMPATIBILITY
AMSOIL Synthetic Super Shift® Racing Transmission Fluid is fully compatible with other fluids. However, a mixture of AMSOIL Super Shift® and another oil will decrease performance and offer a shorter service life than pure AMSOIL Synthetic Super Shift® Racing Transmission Fluid.
Note: AMSOIL Synthetic Super Shift® Racing Transmission Fluid is not recommended as a replacement for Ford Mercon, GM Dexron or Chrysler ATF+ type fluids in passenger vehicle and truck transmissions as it may cause erratic shift patterns, chattering or noise. AMSOIL is not responsible for transmission performance inconsistent with those specifications listed and where transmissions have been modified from the original manufacturer’s design.
