SUPERIOR, Wis. AMSOIL has re-positioned two of its synthetic automatic transmission fluids to be included in the company’s Signature Series family. AMSOIL says this new designation reflects the premium quality of AMSOIL Multi-Vehicle Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid and AMSOIL Fuel-Efficient Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid. The robust performance of these two products was proven during severe-service field testing, validating the expanded service life recommendations, the company says.
AMSOIL Signature Series ATF is recommended for twice the vehicle manufacturers’ severe-service drain interval. The products also feature new packaging.
According to AMSOIL, the Signature Series ATF provides outstanding high- and low-temperature performance and oxidation stability and is formulated to improve fuel efficiency, reduce transmission temperatures and increase equipment life.
A premiere feature of the new Signature Series transmission fluids is the effectiveness in severe service. In order to demonstrate the capabilities of the new line AMSOIL partnered with a Las Vegas taxicab fleet whose constant idling, stop-and-go driving and passenger loads in searing desert heat can push drivetrain fluids to the limit. The test showed outstanding wear protection and durability, AMSOIL says.
