FAIRFAX, VA — ExxonMobil and Allison Transmission have teamed up in an effort to enhance the performance of automatic transmissions that operate under the most severe conditions. The companies have released release a new synthetic transmission fluid that meets the demanding requirements of the TES-295 certification. Branded Mobil Delvac Synthetic ATF, the new lubricant will be available in drums, pails and gallon jugs, and will replace the current severe-application ATF sold under the same name. The TES-295 specification is one of the industry’s most stringent specifications for automatic transmission fluids, the companies said.

"The launch of the new Mobil Delvac Synthetic ATF provides another example of how ExxonMobil has been working with equipment builders since 1914 to engineer outstanding, application-specific lubricant solutions that promote optimized equipment performance and reliability," said Yeong Kwon, Commercial Vehicle Lubricants’ product offer advisor, ExxonMobil Lubricants & Specialties. "For this new product, we worked in close cooperation with Allison’s engineers to test and evaluate the new Mobil Delvac Synthetic ATF so that it will deliver the exceptional performance required for extended drain intervals, as well as extended product coverages."

Allison certified the new Mobil Delvac Synthetic ATF as a TES-295 fluid based on the favorable results of a number of different performance tests, including the fluid’s resistance to oxidation, viscosity stability, antifoaming capabilities, extreme-temperature performance and anti-wear properties. This performance was demonstrated in the laboratory, as well as during extended field tests, according to the company.

"Allison designs its transmissions for the most severe on or off-highway conditions, so any fluid that we certify as TES-295 has to deliver first-rate performance under these extreme applications," said Lou Gilbert, Allison Transmission’s North American marketing manager. "ExxonMobil manufactures industry proven products, so we were happy to work with the company to provide the new Mobil Delvac Synthetic ATF. This collaboration will benefit our customers by offering them a new TES-295 certified fluid. It is a good complement to the complete Allison Transmission value equation for our mutual customers throughout the world."
