Rebuilt Transmissions Last Longer with Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid

Modern car and truck transmissions use Synthetic Universal Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF), it is engineered to outperform conventional automatic transmission fluids and exceed the performance requirements of most North American, European and Asian vehicles. Note: Check your owners manual to make sure you don’t need a brand specific fluid, such as Honda cars….This sophisticated formulation provides outstanding performance and protection in the severe operating conditions of today’s most advanced transmission designs.

Automatic transmissions have become increasingly complex as vehicle manufacturers strive to improve efficiency while satisfying consumer demands. Smaller, smoother-shifting transmissions with longer fluid-life capabilities and heavier load capacities are now standard in modern transmission design. Traditional ATFs, however, are unable to meet these extreme requirements, and new fluids have emerged with each new advancement in transmission engineering. Oil companies finally  introduced a synthetic automatic transmission fluid in 1980 and it remains the leader in transmission fluid quality.

Synthetic Universal ATF is formulated with the highest-quality synthetic fluids and additives. It exceeds the most stringent industry standards and is universally recommended for a wide range of transmissions. Synthetic Universal ATF reduces confusion, misapplications and inventories. It eliminates the need for costly and suspect “one-treatment-covers-all”
additives.

Exceptional Hot- and Cold- Temperature Performance
Thermal Stability – Hot temperatures are no excuse for poor reliability. Naturally heat resistant and heavily fortified with anti-oxidants, synthetic  ATF exceeds the most demanding oxidation requirements. synthetic ATF delivers outstanding protection against sludge and varnish deposits that clog narrow oil passages and contribute to clutch glazing. Transmissions can operate hotter and longer with synthetic ATF than with conventional fluids.

Cold-Temperature Fluidity – Cold, thick automatic transmission fluid lengthens shift times and reduces energy efficiency (fuel economy). Synthetic ATF is wax-free and delivers extraordinary cold-flow properties (< -60°F pour point). Shifting is more responsive, energy efficiency is improved and warm-up times are reduced.

It is easy to see why using synthetic ATF is critical to modern cars in particular, since all cars come with synthetic ATF as a factory fill nowadays. All rebuilt should transmissions use synthetic ATF (or you should not buy it) because new transmission components like clutch plates and bands are engineered to use synthetic  ATF. Don’t forget that some brands of cars use brand specific fluid, simply put, you have to buy the fluid for that car from the dealer, see your owners manual……GotTransmissions.com @ 866-320-1182.
