PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
MULTITRANS PLUS SYN ATF is a high-quality, fully synthetic automatic transmission fluid. It holds OEM approvals from ZF Friedrichshafen AG for ZF TE-ML 14C and ZF TE-ML 20C specifications, as well as Voith Turbo GmbH & Co. for Voith 55.6336.XX (G1363) specification. This makes it suitable for a wide range of vehicles, including North American, European, and Asian cars, buses, trucks, and industrial equipment.
Under the ZF TE-ML 14C standard, this fluid allows for extended oil and filter change intervals. For instance, in ZF Ecomat powershift transmissions in buses, intervals of up to 120,000 km or two years are feasible. In the case of trucks and off-road equipment, it permits oil and filter change intervals of up to 1500 hours/1 year under normal conditions or 1000 hours/1 year under severe conditions. Similarly, under the ZF TE-ML 20C specification, it enables intervals of up to 120,000 km or two years in ZF Ecolife powershift transmissions in buses.
Additionally, the Voith 55.6336.XX (G1363) approval extends service intervals, allowing for distances of up to 120,000 km in Voith DIWA transmissions.
MULTITRANS PLUS SYN ATF excels in oxidative resistance, anti-wear properties, and frictional stability. It also offers excellent anti-rust capabilities and effectively manages sludge and varnish. Its multi-vehicle compatibility simplifies the management of transmission fluid inventories.
Moreover, this fluid meets several other specifications, including Ford Mercon® V, Allison C-4, JASO 1-A, MAN 339 V1 and MAN 339 Z1, Volvo 97340 and 97341, and ZF TE-ML 14A and 14B. It is suitable for use in equipment that requires GM Dexron® IIIH and Ford Mercon fluids.
CHARACTERISTICS
OUTSTANDING COLD FLOW PROPERTIES
Allows for rapid oil flow to all critical transmission components (i.e. torque converters, friction plates, planetary wheels and brake bands). More responsive and comfortable gear shifts. Minimizes ‘shift shock’ when gear shifts occur at low temperature. Reduced torque loss increases efficiency leading to fuel savings potential. Less fuel consumption means lower emissions.
OPTIMISED FRICTION CHARACTERISTICS
Smoother gear shifts at all ambient temperatures and load conditions. Consistent frictional properties improve driver comfort. Very long anti-shudder durability for comfortable gear changes without noise, vibration or harshness. Avoids foaming tendencies in transmissions so that full-bodied lubricant is maintained to all surfaces requiring lubrication.
EXCELLENT THERMAL AND OXIDATIVE STABILITY
Viscosity change with usage remains minimal helping prevent deposits and oil thickening – this extends transmission life. Excellent transmission cleanliness under high temperature and high load conditions permits extended oil drain intervals and decreased servicing.
