PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic Powershift Transmission Fluids are
specifically designed for high-torque heavy-duty powershift
transmissions. Formulated for extended drain intervals,
Powershift Transmission Fluids contain top-quality synthetic
base stocks and a high level of top-quality additives
selected specifically for powershift transmissions. They
offer exceptional transmission friction performance, smooth
brake operation, reduced gear and bearing wear and increased
equipment life.
Friction Characteristics
AMSOIL Synthetic Powershift Transmission Fluids are
compatible with common metallic and non-metallic friction
materials. Their stable frictional characteristics help
eliminate excessive brake noise and vibration. Their nonslip
friction durability virtually eliminates clutch slippage,
which can cause glazing or friction surface deposits and
material degradation. Powershift Transmission Fluids are
formulated to deliver responsive yet smooth clutch
engagements, 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 and
are formulated without viscosity index improvers for
superior shear stability. This superior shear stability
allows Powershift Transmission Fluids to maintain grade
throughout service life, 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.
Superior High and Low Temperature
Performance
In high temperatures, AMSOIL Synthetic Powershift
Transmission Fluids effectively protect components from
wear. Their superior oxidative and thermal stability
inhibits the formation of varnish, deposits and sludge so
equipment runs clean. Synthetic Powershift Transmission
Fluids are excellent heat transfer fluids and may help
hot-running equipment operate cooler and run in its optimal
temperature range. In low temperatures, 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. Synthetic Powershift Transmission Fluids
do not foam in service, protecting equipment from the
metal-to-metal contact and wear that occurs with use of
foam-filled fluids.

Transmission Fluid can be used in Caterpillar, Allison,
Komatsu, Clark, Hurth, Borg-Warner, Twin Disc, Voith, ZF,
Funk and Brockhouse powershift-type transmissions and
Eaton/Rockwell/Fuller transmissions.
Installation
AMSOIL Synthetic Powershift Transmission Fluids are fully
compatible with other TO-4 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
Powershift Transmission Fluid.
Service Life
AMSOIL Synthetic Powershift Transmission Fluids provide
extended service life beyond conventional petroleum fluids
if Synthetic Powershift Transmission Fluids are kept free of
dirt and moisture. Oil analysis is recommended if extending
service intervals beyond equipment manufacturer
recommendations.
AMSOIL Synthetic Powershift Transmission
Fluids may be used for 250,000 miles or two years (whichever
comes first) in CD-50 manual transmission applications.
