ATF Grade is a range of automatic transmission fluids made from synthetic oil and fully hydrofinished paraffinic base oil with a high viscosity index, formulated for the lubrication requirements of specific automatic transmission units. Grades: ATF-CVT, ATF-2, ATF-3. The grade names describe fluid types; they are not OEM approvals.
Grades & published data
Typical values from the product data sheet, each with its test method.
Overview
ATF Grade is a range of automatic transmission fluids made from synthetic oil and fully hydrofinished paraffinic base oil with a high viscosity index, formulated for the lubrication requirements of specific automatic transmission units. Grades: ATF-CVT, ATF-2, ATF-3. The grade names describe fluid types; they are not OEM approvals.
Every grade has its own row in the specification table, with viscosity at 100 °C, viscosity index, flash point, pour point and density.
Application
Transmission units whose manual names the fluid type matching ATF-2, ATF-3 or ATF-CVT.
Feature
ATF-CVT: KV100 7.3 cSt, VI 180, pour point -42 °C, flash point 190 °C; ATF-2: KV100 7 cSt, VI 170, pour point -39 °C, flash point 190 °C; ATF-3: KV100 7.5 cSt, VI 180, pour point -39 °C, flash point 190 °C.
Order the grade that matches the viscosity and API designation in the gearbox or axle manual. Each grade's values are listed separately in the specification table.
Next step
The range above is what we publish. Formulation to a customer brief is a route of its own, and a sample is the first stage of it.
