AMSOIL Synthetic Powershift Transmission Fluids are
Recommended for Applications Requiring the Following Specifications:
- Caterpillar TO-4
- Allison C-4
- HD Torque and Drivetrain
AMSOIL Synthetic Powershift Transmission Fluids are specifically
designed for heavy-duty powershift transmissions. Formulated for extended drain
intervals, AMSOIL Synthetic Powershift Transmission Fluids contain top-quality
synthetic basestocks and a high level of top-quality additives selected
specifically for powershift transmission performance. They offer unmatched
transmission friction performance, smooth brake operation, reduced gear and
bearing wear and increased equipment life. AMSOIL Synthetic Powershift
Transmission Fluids extend time between overhauls.
Friction Characteristics AMSOIL Synthetic Powershift
Transmission Fluids are compatible with common metallic and nonmetallic friction
materials. AMSOIL Synthetic Powershift Transmission Fluids' stable frictional
characteristics eliminate the problems of excessive brake noise and vibration,
clutch slippage, friction surface deposits and design material
degradation.
AMSOIL Synthetic Powershift Transmission Fluids are formulated
for fast, smooth clutch engagements and wet brake operations; excellent power
transmission through clutches and synchronizers; and superior hydraulic fluid
performance for servo equipped units.
Wear Protection AMSOIL Synthetic Powershift
Transmission Fluids exceed the wear requirements of the Caterpillar TO-4
specification. AMSOIL Synthetic Powershift Transmission Fluids are formulated
without viscosity index improvers for superior shear stability. They maintain
grade throughout service life, due to their superior shear stability, providing
long-term protection against equipment wear, even when equipment is frequently
subjected to sustained periods of applied pressure or high horsepower and high
torque.
High and Low Temperature Performance In high
temperatures, AMSOIL Synthetic Powershift Transmission Fluids dependably protect
components from wear. Their superior oxidative and thermal stability inhibits
the formation of varnish, deposits and sludge so equipment runs clean. AMSOIL
Synthetic Powershift Transmission Fluids are excellent heat transfer fluids and
may help hot-running equipment operate up to 50° F cooler and keep them running
in their optimal temperature range. In low temperatures, AMSOIL Synthetic
Powershift Transmission Fluids flow readily for dependable startup and
post-startup protection.
Copper Corrosion, Rust and Foam Inhibition AMSOIL
Synthetic Powershift Transmission Fluids protect equipment from copper corrosion
and rust, even during equipment storage. AMSOIL Synthetic Powershift Trans-
mission Fluids do not foam in service, protecting equipment from the
metal-to-metal contact and wear that occurs with use of foam-filled
fluids.
Installation AMSOIL Synthetic Powershift Transmission
Fluids are fully compatible with other fluids used in powershift applications.
To install AMSOIL Synthetic Powershift Transmission Fluids, drain the fluid in
the system,, replace the filter (if so equipped) and install the appropriate
AMSOIL Synthetic Powershift Transmission Fluid.
Service Life AMSOIL Synthetic Powershift Transmission
Fluids provide two to five times the service life of conventional petroleum
fluids if AMSOIL Synthetic Powershift Transmission Fluids are kept free of dirt
and moisture.
AMSOIL Synthetic Powershift Transmission Fluids may be used for
250,000 miles or five years (whichever comes first) in manual
transmissions.
