Misinformation about
AMSOIL
Universal ATF
and Mercon and Mercon V Applications
Problem: AMSOIL INC. has
been informed that some AMSOIL Dealers and their customers have
experienced problems with their local Ford Dealership service department
when bringing in the new AMSOIL Universal ATF for installation in their
Ford vehicle transmission. They have been told that: A) You cannot put
a Mercon V labeled transmission fluid in a Mercon application. B) That
you cannot put a Mercon labeled transmission fluid in a Mercon V
application (this is true). C) That you cannot put a dual usage labeled
ATF product in the Mercon application or the Mercon V application.
Since the new AMSOIL Universal Transmission Fluid is labeled dual usage,
recommended for both Mercon and Mercon V applications, some Ford
Dealership service managers are telling their customers that if they put
the AMSOIL Universal ATF product in their transmission it will void
their transmission warranty.
Answer:
At least one oil companys ATF product with a Mercon V
rating does not also meet Mercon performance requirements. This has
apparently caused a great deal of confusion about allowing Mercon V ATF
to be back serviceable in Mercon applications. The AMSOIL Universal ATF
has been formulated to meet or exceed both the Mercon and Mercon
V specification, as well as G.M. Dexron III and Chrysler ATF+4. It is
fully supported through documented testing. It is recommended for and
can be used in ALL of the applications listed on the label.
PERIOD.
If someone is misinformed on this issue and actually
denies a manufacturers warranty coverage because of the use of AMSOIL
Universal ATF Fluid in one of the applications for which it is
recommended by AMSOIL INC., the AMSOIL Warranty coverage would apply.
The consumers transmission would be repaired under the AMSOIL Warranty.
AMSOIL INC. and our insurance company will legally pursue the
dealership or the manufacturer to recover our costs. AMSOIL INC. would
not make the recommendations on our label, or issue this statement, if
we were not completely confident of our position on this matter. While
we cannot control what individuals say about this subject, we can and do
insure that consumers can use our product with complete confidence and
without risk.
