A clear understanding of Automotive Transmission Fluid maintenance

ATF’s function is to lubricate hydraulic drive, also responsible for providing lubrication and cooling effect. With self-draining container tightly connected to the engine, the working environment from the discharge of oil than the oil is not that easy. Furthermore the oil hydraulic temperature is high (up to 130 degrees). Although adverse reactions from post-discharge oil deterioration, such as engine oil, is not that fast, but the internal life of the clutch plate and patency of small oil passage, it is also slowly formed invisible injury or obstruction. In order to prolong the life of automotive transmission, it important to develop good maintenance cycle.

In addition, due to the current car is equipped with the automatic transmission which is more and more complex, many oil specifications are very strict. If use wrong ATF, the impact is not only shifting, it also leads to very troublesome consequences. How to buy a suitable ATF? As the relevant specifications of this oil is very complex, each label is not quite the same. Even with the year of manufacture of cars of different car models, the use of ATF specification are not necessarily the same. There is no one size fits all approach. The only way is to read the drivers' manual book. There will be some explanation about which ATF is suitable for the car specification.

After understanding what ATF specification is, it’s about to start looking for suitable ATF. The products manufacturers introduced some general ATF specification listing outside of the bottle, which will be marked this product corresponding to the car. Each of their own specification number are not the same, so the bottles marked for specification will be complex. Customers need to find the line with the intentions of recognition from the drain to use their car, but just to find a suitable ATF, thereafter, do not worry about buying wrong ATF.
