Universal ATP oil. Information about the characteristics of ATF oils (oil for automatic transmission)

Working at extreme temperatures, preventing the destructive impact of huge speeds and pressure, transmission oils play in these nodes as an important role that is truly difficult to overestimate. Key issues when choosing a transmission oil, be it a viscosity of 80W90, 75W90 or ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) and sometimes with the monobability of W90, there will be primarily the physico-chemical properties of oil - meaning their ability to lightly launch at low temperatures and Stable unchanged indicators with a long service interval as well as reviews of leading engineers.

How to determine the required viscosity

Here then on the revenue and came the company of American engineers (their official name can be found on all the canices - SAE) And they marked the temperature scale when using a certain recommended viscosity of transmission oil or liquid ATF wear was minimal. It is easier to last, it is from a dense or lubricant lubricating material that how successfully the transmission oil will remain on the details.

All-season winter and summer

The days go when it was necessary to constantly take care of the replacement of transmissine oil depending on the time of year. Monobility in oils, for example W90, can be safely attributed to the endangered from the market. The most common today is the 18W90 (more often mineral) and 75W90 (semi-synthetic and synthetic) and 75W90 (semi-synthetic and synthetic), a variety of ATF and Dextron liquids (also semi-synthetic and synthetics) come to replace them. Is it worth saying that the freezing temperature of synthetics will be significantly lower than mineral oil?

Factors are taken into account:

• Proper ratio of anti-sex additives
• Stability of oil film in critical conditions

75W90.

Almost all gearboxes of budget new cars, in our time, are filled with this oil viscosity. Even in the strongest cold, the synthetic component of 75W90 will give excellent launchers.

80W90.

Almost always these oil on mineral base or "mineral water". In our age of speed, there is a reason also to take them to the outgoing trends of past years.

Tolerances GL 4 or GL 5, or GL 6 (TM-4 and TM-5)

What is the transmission oil to pour into the bridge or classification box GL You will tell only the official tolerances of automakers. It is enough for you to navigate the following basic knowledge:

GL 4 and GL 5 - Like tolerances in engine oils, differ with the prescription prescription. Often, the larger admission of oil overlaps the previous one and in view of this is allowed for use.

And if you do not look at rare features, then the decision to understand the following:

GL 4. - for front-wheel drive boxes

GL 5. - Here, if you need higher requirements for transmission oil, pour it into the bridge (big load)

GL 4 / GL 5 - considered universal

ATF.

Not quite oil, but liquid. Tasks for ATF are significantly wider than the familiar lubricants. The issue of heat is resolved here, protection against corrosion in aggressive conditions and a higher degree of wear protection. The main requirement is that ATF has the highest possible indicators to oxidation and temperature.

In essence, ATF is rarely found mineral. A cup of semi-synthetic or synthetic. As part of antioxidants, anti-plating, antipine additives and viscosity converter. ATF often works in the conditions of friction of multiple metal differing in their properties.

Output:

1. First of all, it is important to find out what transmission oils are prescribed by a car for fill
2. Choosing among the abundance of proposals of transmission oils can be reinforced on independent reviews of specialists

Liquid ATF. - This is a special transmission oil, which has a liquid consistency and has a mineral or synthetic basis. It is intended for cars working on "automation". ATF transmission fluid is responsible for performing multiple functions, for example:

• uninterrupted functioning of the gearbox - its control and control;
• cooling and proper lubrication of parts that can be friction;
• transmission of torque that via the torque converter moves from the motor to the box;
• ensuring the work of friction discs.

Many equate oil to the mixture for automatic transmission, however the ATF properties differ in many parameters. For the proper composition, mineral oils are operated in which special substances are added. If you use foreign fluids for "automation", then it will certainly provoke a breakdown of the gearbox, or its full failure.

The manufacturer of the first oil specification has become automotive concern GENERAL MOTORS. The new mixture entered the mass market in 1949. This was due to the fact that in 1938, the same company has developed the first automatic transmission. Subsequently, the autocontracene came to the improvement of the specification of transmission mixtures and installed the strictest requirements for the composition. Since there were no competitors in this market, then GM became the legislator technical characteristics For ATF.

The first varieties of fluid were made on fat, which was produced from a sala of marine whales. Due to the exit of the law prohibiting the hunt for these residents of the ocean, the corporation had to develop a synthetic basis.

At the moment, competing specification from General Motors constitutes other famous car brands - CHRYSLER, HYUNDAI, MITSUBISHI FORD and Toyota.

Pay special attention to the packaging of the ATF liquid purchased. Take into account the type of oil, as well as a specification that fits your gearbox.

Types of ATF transmission oils

After we got acquainted with the fact that such an ATF oil is studying all sorts of liquid specifications. The very first of them, as noted above, saw the light in 1949 due to the efforts of General Motors. The generally accepted name of the mixture is ATF-A, which was used on all vehicles equipped with "automatic". In 1957, the specification was revised and thus originated by Type A Suffix A.

So, there are main types of ATF:

• Mercon. - introduced by Ford in the 80s of the last century. They are as close as possible to other specifications and can be compatible with them. The main differences between the varieties of GM and FORD companies are that the first draws more attention to the smoothness of switching, and the second is the speed;
• Dexron. - GM produced, starting in 1968. Since the manufacture of whales used, production had to be suspended. The reason for this also served as weak technical characteristics, because the oil was demonstrated poor tolerability of high temperatures. In 1972, Dexron IIS appears, where the basis was the jojoba oil, which subsequently provoked corrosion of some details. Next butterwhich was equipped with additives overwhelming rust developing an IID console. The liquid with the IIE index was produced up to 1993. Her distinctive trait - The presence of additives that reduced hygroscopic redundancy. Innovative was the output of the type of DEXRON III (1993). The novelty retained its liquid properties even at very low temperatures, friction characteristics also improved. In 2005, a new generation appeared with the prefix "VI". ATF transmission oil was developed for applying on a new one, which was 6-range. The mixture has a longer service life, as well as a reduced degree of kinematic viscosity. The last parameter allows you to increase fuel efficiency;
• Alison C-4 - Designed by General Motors specifically for fill in large-sized vehicles - off-road technique And trucks.

When to change the transmission mixture?

ATF fluid must be changed periodically, because it will increase the service life not only the transmission, but also the car as a whole. Consequently, it is necessary to carry out systematic measurements of the oil level. For the change of replacement affects:

• mileage of the vehicle;
• terms of Use;
• driving style.

Trust the procedure should be to specialists to a hundred, where there is all the necessary equipment, which will allow to replace the oil. After all, you can only merge a part of the ATF fluid, a significant part remains in the box. With the help of technical devices, professionals will also be able to rinse, or replace the filter.

Checking transmission oil in automatic transmission

A long life of the transmission provides timely check of the residues of the mixture in the automatic transmission. Such an operation is carried out in different ways - it all depends on the type of transmission. Before proceeding with the procedure, read the user instructions well.

You can control the remaining level of the mixture both on hot and on a cold transmission, because the probe has the appropriate marks.

If you decide to independently carry out this operation, then you should remember the need to observe accurate level Oil. In each case, you are subject to the entire hazard system:

• the insufficient level provokes air from entering the pump along with oil (in such a situation there is a burning, slipping of friction and a general failure of the system). If you find out that the level does not reach the desired mark, then try to determine the cause of oil leakage;
• elevated level It contributes to the fact that the surplus oil is transfused through the Sapun, the level decreases, therefore, the same problems arise as in the situation described above. The release through the breather is diagnosed according to the degree of pollution of the part of the liquid.

How to choose a working fluid for ATF specification

Each of the oil groups has different friction indicators and differences in temperatures. What do the various ATF specifications mean:

• DEXRON IID. It does not tolerate too cold temperatures, therefore, suitable for use only in countries where in the winter season the temperature does not fall below -15 degrees. Suitable for cars of previous generations;
• DEXRON IIE. It manifests itself well even at temperatures in -30, it is necessary only in areas where strong and frequent frosts are dominated. The manufacturer ensures that the liquid will retain its viscosity. Even if your transmission implies the use of IID, in the cold season, change it on IIE;
• DEXRON III. It is applied literally on all modern auto-breeds.

Incorrectly chosen mixture will provoke multiple malfunction in the operation of automatic transmission. Extremely predictably discharge discs, an increase in the time it is required to change the transfer, the occurrence of jerks when starting and. All this will be caused by a longer formation of oil pressure. Initially, you can not pay attention to such symptoms, but further they will manifest themselves more.

Is it possible to mix liquids of different types?

Mixing liquids is permissible, but still it is better not to risk, because it can lead to a breakdown, and the complete replacement of the automatic transmission will pretrately hit the pocket. In order to identify the type of oil, add a special dye into it, which will not affect the characteristics of ATF oils. If the specification cannot be determined, it is better to completely overdo it.

Long-term use of the same liquid, or the use of poor-quality fake leads to faults and breakdowns in different engine systems.

Questions of operation atf

The durability of the gearbox depends on maintaining the optimal level of fluid. If you know what ATF is, you also know that oil replacement is carried out only in car services under the supervision of specialists.

The fact that something is wrong with the liquid is evidenced by its black, or a dark brown color. At the same time there is an appearance of the burner odor. The color of oil normally functioning transmission is dense-red or red with an orange tint.

As noted above, it is important to prevent the fluid transfusion. Oil foaming provokes its release through the Sapun. If there is an insufficient level, the pump captures the air. It affects friction - discs start slipping and burning.

For a complete understanding of this issue, you must go from afar. Consider which oils generally apply in cars than they are fundamentally different. Without going into details, these are motor oils, transmission (gear) oils, oils for hydraulicers, ATP and brake fluid. The similarity of all listed oils, firstly, is that the basis of them is hydrocarbons obtained by processing fossil hydrocarbon raw materials, which respectively gives some similarity in the properties. All of them have a lubricant, increasing slip between driving surfaces and a hydrobilic (repulsive down) effect, as well as the ability to remove heat. A little similar to the appearance: oily to the touch with similar in the first approximation, on this similarity in the properties and ends.

This sometimes generates irreparable errors, when, for example, in automatic transmission pour motor oil, and in the hydraulicel - brake fluid. Naturally, these actions immediately follow the vehicle breakdown. So the more globally different is the ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid - liquid for automatic transmissions) from all other substances poured into the car devices.

ATF properties

The fact is that ATF is the most complicated liquid in the car, which requires a number of properties, sometimes contradicting each other.

1. Lubricating effect: decrease in friction and wear in bearings, bushings, gear engagement, pistons, electromagnetic valves.
2. Increase (modifying) friction forces in friction groups: decreased slippage (shift) between clutch packages, brake ribbons, torque transformer blocking.
3. Heat removal: a rapid output of heat from the friction zone due to thermal conductivity and liquid procession.
4. Penal impact: no foaming in contact zones with air.
5. Stability: No oxidation when heated to a high temperature and when contact with air oxygen, the maximum long time.
6. Anti-corrosion: preventing corrosion formation on the internal parts of the automatic transmission.
7. Hydrophoboity: Ability to push moisture from serviced surfaces.
8. Liquid process and hydraulic properties: the ability to maintain stable fluidity and hydraulic properties (compression ratio) in a wide range of temperatures from -50 with to +200 C.

So all the same pour into the automatic transmission and how to fulfill the ATF top, if the necessary ATF brand is not at hand or is it unknown, that in the automatic transmission.

To simplify the response, first make several statements.

1. Any type ATF. - mineral water, semi-synthetic or pure synthetics are mixed with each other without any negative consequences. More modern ATFs have best features and properties.
2. Additive more modern ATF type in less modern improves its properties.
3. The less modern ATF, the worse its properties and therefore it must be changed more often, but even on the most modern ATF type, the most modern automatic transmission type ZF6HPZ6 will work without any problems. Verified in practice!
4. No manufacturer discloses complete information about the composition and properties of ATF produced by them, limited by the general recommendations of an advertising nature. The exception is special highly modified oils, into which their manufacturers are generally unknown that they have stacked and promise a fantastic effect. Such fluids, if there is a desire to use them, it is better to fill with nothing without mixing, since the effect is unpredictable.
5. Indications of manufacturers on the use of ATF in their products are more dictated to the goal of increasing profits and are not technically not always justified.
6. It is desirable (but not necessary) to use ATF with constant frictional properties for automatic transformer automatic transformer automatic transfers, and ATF with variable functional properties for automatic transmission with a GC lock with controlled slip mode, the rest is not fundamentally.
7. All glands, gears, bearings, friction, seals, etc. The automatic transmission consists of the same on the properties of materials, regardless of the manufacturer of the automatic transmission, the nuances are not very significant, it means that various ATFs cannot have fundamentally different properties.

By summing up all the above, we make the following conclusion: if you refuel or change the ATF into the entire automatic transmission, it is advisable to use more modern and apparently more expensive ATF, given only its frictional properties (variables or constant) for your automatic transactions. If the budget is limited, then you can pour any ATF, suitable for the price - this will not affect the operation of the automatic transmission, but the ATF substitution will have to be carried out more often. Manufacturers recommendations can not be considered at all. When pouring ATF in the already existing liquid, if there is no same brand, it is necessary to use fluid class not lower than the main, i.e. Dextron III century. Dextron II can be addressed, but on the contrary it is undesirable because if in the original automatic transmission to reduce the ATF properties, it can start working worse, but if you do not know what is flooded and afraid to harm, plot the most expensive modern ATF type Div-DVI, again according to friction properties.

Composition atf

Due to the need to obtain such a large number of multidirectional properties, the ATF composition is extremely complex and not disclosed in detail by manufacturers. In open information, there are only general data on the chemical and molecular composition of the main additives, it is these additives (additives) to ultimately form a set of properties that ATF must have, detailed formulas of substances and their interaction are classified.

The ATF chemical composition consists of two main parts - this is the base base and additive package. The base base is the directly carrier liquid constituting the main volume. According to its type, the base is divided into three basic groups: mineral, semi-synthetic and synthetic. The mixture of the mineral and synthetic basis, which is sold as synthetic. The mineral bases include paraffin (paraffinics) and naphthenic oils, their group in Xhviyapi ATIEL classification systems (The Tehnical Association of The European Lubricans American Petrolen Institute). A semi-synthetic or conditionally synthetic is hydrated (hidroisomerised) mineral base oils, which are considered improved, but relative to the first group, their VHVI classification, one of the branded names Yubase. But true synthetic base group are polyalphaoles HVHVI (PAD) oil. The technology of their preparation is extremely complex and the road at the moment, and in most cases, the Synthetic ATF are partially available from the synthetic base with the addition of mineral or conditionally synthetic main component, which will never be notified on the package.

Additives Gatf.

The second part of the chemical composition ATF is a package of additives. Their chemical composition is also classified by manufacturers, and in open access there is information about the total chemical composition and percentage of ions of various substances: phosphorus - P +, zinc - Zn +, Bor - VI, Barium, sulfur - S, nitrogen, magnesium, and etc.

In fact, these ions are part of complex polyesters, which in the mixture create additional chemical compounds, reinforcing certain properties of additives.

That is why it is always about a packet of additives, which has certain characteristics.

Consider the ionic composition of the additive package of the most common ATF of the Dextron III / MERCON standard. The total volume of additives in the DIII relative to the base oil is 17%, of which the ionizers are:

• Phosphorus - 0.3% AW as part of 2-ethyl hexyl-phosphoric acid, increases anti-wear properties in the composition of ZDDP additives.
• Zinc - 0.23% as part of ZDDP zinc diethyl-dithiophosphate - antioxidant properties, anti-wear.
• Nitrogen - 0.9% AW Additive (Anti-Wear)
• Bor - 0.16% AW Additive, enhances detergents, enhanced ZDDP.
• Calcium - 0.05%, as part of calcium phenolates - detergent effect, plus the disperser in the composition of the basic additive TBN, the anti-corrosion effect.
• Magnesium - 0.05% detergent properties in the basic additive, reduction of acidity, anti-corrosion effect.
• Sulfur - 0.55% AW Additive, plus friction modifiers (FM), anti-wear properties in EP.
• Barium - Various%, Control Late Control.
• Syloksan - 0.005% active polystipid.

The following ions are included in additives having complex formulas whose details are classified, some of their names and the total chemical formula:

• ZDP - zinc phosphate, anti-corrosion effect
• ZDDP - - dithio phosphate, antioxidant, anti-corrosion.
• TCP - triedzell phosphate, improving heat resistance.
• HP - chloroparaphin, resistance to elevated temperature.
• MOG - Monoplastic Glycerol
• Stearinic acid
• PTFE - Teflon (in ATF is almost no applied)
• SO - Sulfated EP (additive Extrime Pressure) stabilizes properties with overpressure.
• ZCO - zinc carooxylate, corrosion inhibitor.
• Na is a group of alkylated benzenes.
• PoE - ethers.
• TMP - Sophisticated Lineoleic Ethirpolinols
• ModTp.

In total, such additives have been developed about a hundred, and in one additive package can be up to 20 complex substances, which in the compound give the cross effect creating the specified characteristics from ATF.

History of creating ATF.

Experiments on the creation automatic transmissions It began in a massive order in the 20s of the 20th century, but in those days no one seriously thought about changing the properties used in them hydraulic fluids. The first big breakthrough occurred in 1949, when General Motors introduced the world's first ATF serial development in the world, obtaining the Type A index. The basis was oil mineral oilAnd as the only additive used spermacet Fat China Coughlota. Spermacet fat was distinguished from an unfortunate animal with a special iron and accumulated in two bags, located in the deepening between the bones at the top of the skull. These bags served as a chance as the resonators of the ultrasonic signals emitted. After the murder and cutting of China, spermacet fat was deprived of the contents of spermacet bags was hydrated, the result was a substance called Cetin, whose chemical formula C15H31S16H33, which was used as the main component of the first ATF.

Quality ATF Type A it turned out so high that the mixture practically did not require any improvements, based on the fact that at that time the transmission was low-robust, and working temperature did not exceed 70-90 C. Over time of power and torque, the source Type A has ceased to meet the requirements, since it oxidized at more high temperatures And foamed, not withstanding high revs.

The following in the development of ATF was created in 1957 Liquid Type A Suffix A with improved characteristics. It was for the first time in minimum quantities (about 6.2%), additives containing substances based on phosphorus, zinc and sulfur, which allowed to improve the antioxidant and other ATF properties.

After that, for ten years there was nothing new for ten years, and only in 1967 GM took the next step by creating an ATF with an index of B. From now on, a classification was introduced under the Dextron, and the liquid was called Dextron B. Its fundamental difference was That its composition was introduced a significant amount (about 9%) substances based on barium, zinc, phosphorus, sulfur, calcium and boron, which can be called a package of additives.

No limited chemical booty of whales put them on the edge of extinction, and in 1972 the US government was forced to adopt the law "On the preservation of endangered species of animals and birds", fully prohibiting whale hunting. Manufacturers ATF began black days. For several years, it was not possible to find a replacement for spermacet fat. When using the liquids remaining at the disposal, the number of failures of automatic transmissions increased in the United States 8 times, and the case smelled the disaster. Only by the mid-70s, International Lubicands, in collaboration with the famous chemist, Philip has developed a liquid synthetic wax ether called Liquid Waxester, patented under the LXE® trademark, which made it possible to improve the necessary ATF properties by 50%. The resulting liquids even began to exceed a number of ATF characteristics based on spermacet. On the basis of this technology in 1975, the GM was created by Dextron II index C with an additive content of 10.5%. But it soon turned out that the ATF turned out to be rather aggressive and began to cause corrosion of metal surfaces, so in a year Dextron II index D was created, which included additional additives-suppressors of corrosion. The next step in 1990 is the Dextron II index E, there are viscosity stabilizers at low temperatures and stabilizers at high temperatures. The crown of all creations became the Dextron III in 1995, as part of which all modern requirements were taken into account and a complex additive package was introduced. At the moment GM created Dextron IV, Dextron V and Dextron VI. In parallel with GM, own developers led a number of firms such as Ford, creating a number of own ATFs, combined Mercon classification, Toyota Tyret classification (DTT).

This led to a fair confusion in the classification of oils and the understanding of their compatibility among themselves and with the automatic transmission. Therefore, over time, it was decided to bind all these standards for the GM -Dextron classification. Therefore, on most ATF packs of any firms from behind in annotations, you can see the inscription: "Analogue of Dextron III" or "DIV", etc.

What is the difference between the ATF properties of various manufacturers. Determination of compatibility with automatic transmission.

I would like to immediately note that we would say decent specialists, the principal difference in the properties of the most modern ATF. If you go into details, then two main factor are taken for the criteria:

1. ATF interaction with various types of friction materials.
2. Various characteristics of friction coefficients during the clutch of frictional friction properties (variable and constant friction coefficient).

At the first point: there are about a dozen friction materials producers, such as Borg Warren, Alomatic, Alto and others, each of which is developing their original compositions. The basis is usually a specially treated cellulose fiber (frictional cardboard), in which various synthetic resins are added as a binder, and for hardening and improving friction properties is introduced in various proportions of soot, asbestos, various types of ceramics, bronze crumb, fibrous composites of type * and Crawlestics. Accordingly, it is believed that the automatic transmission manufacturer selects the type ATF under the frictional material used by selecting the optimal value of the shift coefficient between frictions with full contact to minimize the heat release in the springs. However, regardless of the difference in the compositions of frictional, all developers use one chain, therefore high-quality springs of native firms are not much different in properties, so they react similar to different type ATF.

According to the second item: the parameters of the engagement of the friction elements of the automatic transmission are determined by the friction coefficient. The friction is respectively present in two types:

• slip friction arising from contacting the friction elements to the moment of their complete engagement;
• the friction of rest when the frictions come to the state of complete engagement and become fixed relative to each other.

In addition to frictional, the brake and drive elements of the automatic transformer, there are still friction blocking of the hydrotransformer, which when moving from hydrodynamic (due to the compression of liquids between oppositely located with the blades) of the transmission mode of the main torque in the hard one (when the lock is fully pressed against the body and G / T The clutch on the mechanics) receives the same set of friction effects. However, in g / t modern automatic transmission The 6 and more steps appeared an intermediate mode, called the controlled locking slip (FLU - FLEX LOCK UP) for more smooth and comfortable switching, when the pressure regulator with a high inclusion frequency feeds and turns off the pressure controlling pressure while holding it on the verge of slipping. Accordingly, all types of ATF are divided into two classes: with constant friction properties (Type F, Type G) and changing friction properties (Dextron, Mercon, Mopar).

ATF with unchangeable frictional properties has a rather linear picture: as the cluster presses (decreases the speed of slipping), the friction coefficient grows, and at the time of engagement of the frictions reaches a maximum. This gives the effect of clear handling of gears with minimal compliance.

Accordingly, there is a sensation effect of switching. When using ATF with variable friction properties at the initial stage of pressed friction, the friction-slip coefficient has the maximum value, but as it is compressed, it decreases somewhat, reaching the maximum with full contact, but at the same time the value of the retreatation coefficient of rest is much lower. This gives the effect of a smoother and comfortable inclusion of transmissions, but the amount of heat released is increasing.

Possible consequences: If you pour an ATF with the variable properties in the automatic transmission automatic transmission, this can cause the unwanted blocking effect of the lock. In the case of an involved automatic transmission, the hydrodynamic transmission will support the torque until completely engaged and there will be nothing unpleasant. In a worn or damaged automatic transmission with burnt locking and climbing, excess slip can aggravate the position and cause fatal destruction. If you pour an ATF with a controlled locking slip of the lock with immutable friction properties, it can cause a more rigid inclusion of transmissions, but the tragic consequences will not bring. From this it can be concluded, it can be addicted to ATF with changed friction properties, and it will work softer, and if there is a feeling that the automatic transmission subsides slightly more than necessary, you can pour ATF with unchangeable friction properties and it will work clearly.

In conclusion, I can add that much more serious factors than the frictional properties of oils that influence the operation of the automatic transmission is temperature mode, degree of wear of frictional surfaces and other devices and control components, frost. In front of these factors, the differences in the properties of ATF become insignificant. It makes sense to take into account them only in the presence of the ideal conditions of operation of the new car.

Last development in the ATF market

A few years ago, Amalie Motor Oil, a universal synthetic ATF, which did not have analogues in a world with fantastic properties, which equally satisfies the requirements of all types of automatic transmission. The liquid was called "Amalie Universal Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid", which produced a real revolution in the US market, receiving certification of all leading car manufacturers and automatic transmission. New Type A fully synthetic base and a superior package of multifunctional additives provide unsurpassed protection and stable performance when used in any types of automatic and robotic transmissions, hydraulic motors and other hydraulic systems, regardless of the manufacturer. She successfully replaces the entire line of Dextron, Mercon, CHRYSTER, Toyota, Caterpilar and other manufacturers. Liquid is recommended for use in high-loaded automatic transmission of manufacturers such as BMV, AUDI, Land Rover., Mercedes, Mitsubishi, Toyota and any other American, European and Asian market cars. Two years ago this ATF appeared on russian market. For those owners of cars that have means and do not regret them on the maintenance of their iron horsesThis product is a real solution.

For automatic transmission, special transmission oil is necessary - ATF. It includes a synthetic base together with mineral. As a result, ATP provides a normal operation of a system that controls the transmission in the automatic transmission. In addition, it takes the torque of torque from the motor to the gearbox. ATF also cools the items, and reduces friction force.

ATF oil properties, advantages

ATF is very different from similar products. Its painting has a pronounced red color. For the manufacture used only verified high-class components. Production is carried out in America.

High quality of transmission oil is confirmed by international standards. It belongs to the group of all-season and can be used year-round.

• Begins to freeze when the temperature drops to -40.
• It has high fluidity.
• Warns the emergence of corrosion.
• Characterized by excellent antioxidant properties.
• Does not forms foam.

The automatic transmission on such TM works almost silently, providing a smooth move of the car. Manufacturers recommend pouring ATPs as well as mechanical KP.

Automatic Transmission Fluid Compatibility

In principle, theoretically, any oil can be mixed. Moreover, since modern compositions are characterized by improved characteristics, then when mixed with "ordinary", it will improve its initial properties.

Professionals are recommended to carry out a complete oil replacement after 70,000 mileage. It must be said that most of the modern manufacturers do not define a specific replacement period. The car is poured for the entire period of the car.

However, if vehicle It will work on the same lubricant more than 200,000 kilometers, it may lead to negative consequences.

The reason is simple. The liquid, filled into the automatic transmission, performs an important function. It transmits the wheels of the engine torque. In other words, the oil is in operation all the time, even if the car does not move. It takes time, it falls into a metal chips. She begins to score the filter, prevents the full operation of the sensors, and all this as a whole leads to breakage of the box.

If we talk about oil compatibility, you should always remember that the leading manufacturers transmission fluids Never reveal their composition completely.

ATF SP3 oils are the synthetics that was developed for four- and five-speed transmission units of the automation type installed in the Mitsubishi brand cars. In addition, this petroleum product can be poured into transmissions that are analogues PPC Mitsubishi. ("Hyundai", "Kia"), with the requirements of the Diaqueen specification.

Such lubrication is made of high-quality oil base (PAO). Basic oils have an increased viscous coefficient. In addition, ATP SP 3 4 l is characterized by an optimal set of additive elements that provide effective protection against wear, excellent frictional characteristics. All this allows you to smoothly switch the modes of the transmission unit. The lubricant has excellent temperature-viscous indicators, perfectly opposes shifts. Increased mechanical destruction resistance and excellent antioxidant properties make it possible to maintain the initial parameters of a very long time.

What is ATF.

ATF is decrypted as a liquid for automatic box Shift. As you can see, the decryption is quite simple. Such lubrication is used exclusively in automation, specific variator transmissions. It is almost not used in robots. ATF is intended for lubricating transmission parts, transmitting torque from the motor to the wheel part through the checkpoint.

ATF operating temperature is about eighty-ninety-five degrees. In summer traffic jams, the car can heat up to one hundred fifty degrees. It is determined by the fact that the automation does not have a rigid transmission of torque from the motor to the wheel part. In view of this, it happens that the engine works too powerfully. Excessive energy is absorbed by lubrication, consumed for friction.

Large volumes of petroleum products undergoing high pressure form a medium in which ATF can foam. Because of this, the car and transmission parts can oxidize. In view of this, the petroleum product should have the necessary additive elements that provide minimization of oxidation.

The ATF operational resource is approximately fifty-seventy thousand kilometers. It must be remembered that after this period is required to implement a mandatory change of consuming.

Characteristics of ATF SP3 oils, different manufacturers

Few people know that such lubricants are prone to volatile. In view of this, certain manufacturers put measuring probes in their own automatic type gearboxes. They make it possible to check the level of the car at any time.

The average cost of one liter ATF is 700-800 rubles. For standard automatic transmission, approximately eight ten liters of consumables are required.

Use, operational performance

Transmission zIC oil ATF is intended for Mitsubishi automation. The manufacturer advises to apply a similar machine exclusively in the "Mitsubishnyh" automatic transmission. In addition, ZiC ATF SP3 4 L can be used in Hyundai cars, Kia equipped with automatic transmission of the same design as Mitsubishi. Lubrication can replace oil ATF. SP 2 4 l. It is possible to apply in servo drives, steering amplifiers on hydraulics.

Description of the technical characteristics of "ZIC ATF SP 3" as:

• kinematic viscosity - 38 WST (with forty degrees), 7 WST (with hundred degrees);
• flame temperature - two hundred thirty degrees;
• frozenation temperature - minus forty two degrees;
• density at thirty degrees - 0.84 kg / l;
• viscous coefficient - one hundred fifty one;
• shade - reddish.

Pluses consummer, standards

ZiC ATF SP 3, manufactured in 4 liters, has the following advantages:
