AMSOIL Synthetic ATF Excels in MERCON V Aluminum Beaker Oxidation Test

Automatic transmission technology has quickly evolved in recent years, and automakers are demanding higher quality, longer lasting transmission fluids to protect these transmissions in extreme conditions. In fact, Ford Motor Company recently retired its MERCON automatic transmission fluid specification. Its current MERCON V specification requires significantly improved anti-oxidation, antiwear and anti-shudder properties over previous specifications.

The MERCON V Aluminum Beaker Oxidation Test (ABOT) is a 300-hour oxidation test in which a gear pump circulates and shears the test lubricant in an aluminum beaker. Fluid temperature is maintained at 311 degrees F (155 degrees C), and samples are drawn and analyzed at intervals throughout the test. In addition, metal catalysts are submerged in the lubricant to evaluate its tendancy to attack metal materials commonly found inside transmissions.

To show the superior performance of AMSOIL Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) in extreme operating conditions and over extended drain intervals, an independent laboratory subjected both AMSOIL Synthetic ATF and Texaco Havoline petroleum ATF, a MERCON V product, to extended ABOT testing, which includes tests for viscosity increase and total acid number (TAN). A Brookfield Viscosity Test, as stipulated by MERCON V, was also performed to determine the cold temperature performance of the lubricants.

Viscosity Increase Test

In order to pass the requirements of MERCON V, automatic transmsission fluids must not exceed a 25 percent viscosity increase following 300 hours of testing. AMSOIL Synthetic ATF easily passed the 300-hour ABOT test, exhibiting no viscosity increase. The test was allowed to continue for 1,106 hours, over three times the standard test length. Even after 1,106 hours, AMSOIL Synthetic ATF exhibited a minimal 6.45 percent viscosity increase, still easily passing MERCON V requirements for 300 hours.

Texaco Havoline ATF did not fare as well. Although it passed the 300-hour test requirements with a 10.66 percent viscosity increase, its viscosity increased significantly as the test was allowed to continue. It exceeded the 25 percent viscosity increase mark after 500 hours, then soared to a 3,539.04 percent viscosity increase after 1,012 hours.

Total Acid Number (TAN) Test

MERCON V requirements do not allow a total acid number exceeding 3.5 mg following 300 hours of testing. Measured at 0.4 mg following 300 hours of testing, AMSOIL Synthetic ATF easily passed this portion of the test. Even after 1,106 hours of extended testing, AMSOIL Synthetic ATF easily passed MERCON V requirements for 300 hours. In fact, its TAN of 2.7 mg after 1,106 hours was lower than the 3.2 mg TAN of Texaco Havoline ATF after 300 hours. Although Texaco Havoline ATF passed 300-hour test requirements, it again showed its inability to provide protection over extended intervals, climbing to a TAN of 7.50 mg after 1,012 hours of testing.

Brookfield Viscosity Test

The Brookfield Viscosity Test involves preheating the test lubricant and allowing it to stabilize at room temperature before transferring it to a glass cell with a special spindle. The glass cell is placed into a cold cabinet for 16 hours at a predetermined temperature of between 5 and -40 degrees C (41 degrees F to -40 degrees F). A viscometer rotates the spindle within the lubricant at the speed giving a maximum torque reading of the viscometer, and the reading is used to calculate the viscosity of the lubricant. The lower the cold temperature viscosity (measured in cP), the better the cold temperature protection. The MERCON V specification requires a maximum Brookfield viscosity of 13,000 cP.

The Brookfield viscosity of the automatic transmission fluids was measured before the test began and again at the conclusion of the test. The Brookfield viscosity of the AMSOIL Synthetic ATF measured 8.770 cP. at the beginning of the test, easily meeting MERCON V requirements of 13,000 cP. Following 1,106 hours of extended testing, the Brookfield viscosity of the AMSOIL Synthetic ATF was 9.570 cP, still easily passing MERCON V requirements.

Texaco Havoline, on the other hand, exhibited a Brookfield viscosity of 14,400 cP at the beginning of the test, failing to fulfill the requirements of MERCON V. Following 1,012 hours of testing, its Brookfield viscosity exceeded 1,000,000 cP.

Conclusions

Oxidation and shearing forces seriously affected transmission and lubricant performance and life. The ability of AMSOIL Synthetic ATF to resist oxidation and shearing forces and maintain its protective qualities throughout the extended ABOT test clearly demonstrates the superior transmission protection and performance it provides over extended drain intervals.

AMSOIL Fuel Efficient Transmission Fluid Provides High Performance Protection

AMSOIL Synthetic Fuel Efficient Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATL) is engineered to exceed the requirements of GM, Ford and Toyota where low viscosity oil is required. The highly specialized properties of this fuel efficient fluid provide outstanding performance without compromising protection, even in severe operating conditions.

Automatic transmissions have become increasingly complex as vehicle manufacturers strive to improve efficiency while satisfying consumer demands. Smaller, smoother shifting transmissions with longer fluid life capabilities and heavier load capabilities are now standard. Traditional ATFs, however, are unable to meet these extreme requirements, and new fluids have emerged with each new advancement in transmission engineering. AMSOIL Synthetic Fuel Efficient Automatic Transmission Fluid is formulated with the highest quality components to exceed the most stringent industry standards.

Exceptional Hot and Cold Temperature Performance

Thermal Stability – Hot temperatures are no excuse for poor reliability. Naturally heat resistant and heavily fortified with anti-oxidants, AMSOIL Fuel Efficient Automatic Transmission Fluid exceeds the most demanding oxidation requirements. It delivers outstanding protections against sludge and varnish deposits that clog narrow oil passages and contribute to clutch glazing. AMSOIL Synthetic Fuel Efficient ATF protects hot running transmissions.

Cold Temperature Fluidity – Cold, thick automatic transmission fluid lengthens shift times and reduces energy efficiency (fuel economy). AMSOIL Synthetic Fuel Efficient ATF is wax free and delivers extraordinary cold flow performance (< -60 degrees Fahrenheit pour point). It helps improve shifting response and energy efficiency while reducing warm up times.

Outstanding Wear Protection

Varying speeds and loads causes torque multiplication and extreme stress on gears and bearings. To prevent wear damage resulting from insufficient fluid film, AMSOIL Synthetic Fuel Efficient ATF is formulated with high film strength (shear stability) and a select anti-wear/extreme-pressure additive that develops a boundary layer of protection between metal surfaces. Even though AMSOIL Synthetic Fuel Efficient Automatic Transmission Fluid is a low viscosity, fuel efficient fluid, it has demonstrated its ability to protect as well as or better than higher viscosity fluids in the most severe industry tests.

Friction Durability

Modern transmissions are smaller in design, yet are called upon to deliver smoother shifts and longer fluid life capabilities in higher horsepower and higher torque conditions. AMSOIL placed great emphasis on developing a fluid to effectively address the complex demands related to friction. AMSOIL Synthetic Fuel Efficient ATF delivers outstanding clutch holding capacity (static friction), torque transfer ability (dynamic friction) and anti-shudder properties (slipping torque converter clutches).

Extended Fluid Service Life

Most drivers are unaware that transmissions commonly operate under severe service and require shorter fluid drain intervals. AMSOIL Synthetic Fuel Efficient ATF is a long life fluid capable of extended service intervals. It provides an extra margin of protection, especially when fluid change intervals are missed or during heavy use; even during abuse. Drivers can count on AMSOIL Synthetic Fuel Efficient ATF to provide protection beyond conventional fluids.

Applications

The addition of AMSOIL Fuel Efficient Automatic Transmission Fluid has increases options for customers. As vehicle manufacturers continue the trend toward lighter bodied fluids in the name of fuel efficiency, formulating a universal transmission fluid that meets these low viscosity requirements and the requirements of previous specifications, without sacrificing performance, has become increasingly difficult. With the addition of AMSOIL Fuel Efficient ATF, AMSOIL now offers a transmission fluid for virtually every application.
