AMSOIL Transmission fluid recommendations
for Cars and Light Duty Trucks
PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic Synchromesh Transmission Fluid (MTF) is a
premium quality synthetic lubricant designed to surpass the most
demanding lubrication requirements of manual transmissions and
transaxles where non-extreme pressure fluids are used.
MTF protects gears and bearings
in extreme temperatures. It outperforms conventional oils and
delivers outstanding performance from -40°F to 300°F. It
maximizes energy efficiency and resists the effects of heat,
oxidation, sludge and varnish deposits.
Unlike its mineral oil
counterparts, MTF prevents the thinning effects of mechanical
shear for stable viscosity, superior film strength and anti-wear
performance. It protects against rust, keeps seals soft for long
life, and is compatible with brass synchros for smooth
synchromesh shift quality.
IDEAL FOR MANY GENERAL
MOTORS, CHRYSLER, HONDA and OTHER VEHICLES
AMSOIL Manual Synchromesh Transmission Fluid is a higher
quality, lower cost replacement for multiple vehicle
manufacturer branded products. This premium synthetic
formulation provides enhanced anti-wear protection and lasts
longer in service. MTF exceeds the performance requirements of
both manual transmissions and transaxles.
EXCELLENT FOR SERVICE
CENTERS
AMSOIL Manual Synchromesh Transmission fluid is a versatile
transmission lubricant. It reduces inventory needs, is readily
available and is cost effective compared to vehicle manufacturer
branded products.
Performance Features
• Reduces friction, heat and wear
• Superior high temperature stability
• Resists heat, oxidation, acid buildup and varnish
• Improves cold weather shifting
APPLICATIONS
Recommended for automotive and light truck applications that
require synchromesh transmission fluid. Applications include
manual transmissions and transaxles such as New Venture NV T350,
NV 1500, NV 2550, NV 3500, NV 3550, NV 5600, and Tremec T4, T5,
T18, T56, T176, TKO500, TKO600, TR 3450 and TR 3550. Replaces
