AUTOMOTIVE


Power Transmission And DriveTrain

Power Transmission Fluids (PTFs) are among the most complex lubricants on the market today. The drive for fuel efficiency has resulted in three main automatic transmissions types for light-duty applications; planetary (stepped) transmission, continuously variable transmission (CVT) and dual-clutch transmission (DCT). The transmission hardware diversification lead to different fluids specifically designed to successfully lubricate the wide variety of transmissions. Containing many additive components, PTFs represent a careful balance of properties needed to meet the unique requirements of transmissions. PTFs contain some of the same additives as engine oils, but have additional components to give special frictional properties, shear stability and exceptional oxidation resistance. Their excellent low temperature fluidity and antiwear properties enable PTFs to perform well as hydraulic fluids in industrial equipment, provided that water separation is not required.

These fluids perform five basic functions:

  • Transmit hydrodynamic energy in the torque converter, wet start clutch or dual clutch module.

  • Transmit hydrostatic energy in hydraulic logic control circuits and servomechanisms.

  • Lubricate shaft bearings, thrust bearings, gears, belt/pulleys (CVTs), synchronizers (DCTs).

  • Transmit sliding friction energy in bands/clutches and belt/pulleys systems.

  • Act as a heat transfer medium controlling transmission operating temperatures.

Several generations and designs of planetary stepped automatic transmissions require different type of automatic transmission to optimize and prolong the hardware useful life. For General Motors’ transmissions of 2006 model year and onward, the required fluid is DEXRON®-VI or DEXRON®-HP. For late model vehicles (prior to 2006) DEXRON®-III/ MERCON® type ATF, a friction modified fluid is recommended for transmission top-up or refill by many automobile manufacturers.

Ford Motor Company requires all its automatic transmissions to be serviced with MERCON® V, MERCON® SP or MERCON® LV fluid. Ford Type F, a non friction- modified fluid, is still used for 1979 and earlier Ford or other older import cars.

General Motors and Ford Motor Company are now recommending Ultra Low Viscosity (ULV) ATF in select vehicle models with their jointly developed 10 speed (and in some cases their 9 speed) automatic transmissions. The shift towards lower viscosity fluids, such as DEXRON®-VI, MERCON® LV and now ULV ATF is intended to gain improvements in fuel economy.

Stellantis (formerly FCA US LLC) recommends ATF+4® fluid be used in most of their transmissions for all model years.

Continuously variable transmission (CVT) and dual-clutch transmission (DCT) hardware require specifically formulated fluids. Petro-Canada Lubricants offers multi-vehicle CVT and DCT fluids proven by laboratory tests and field performance supporting the applications and claims.

The market fragmentation has led to increasing acceptance of multi-vehicle service fill PTFs. Please consult one of our representatives for an official PTF recommendation.

Petro-Canada DEXRON®-VI is an exceptional automatic transmission fluid approved by General Motors (GM) for use in vehicles with GM automatic transmissions. This unique fluid is specially formulated to provide twice the service life of a DEXRON®-III (H) ATF and offers enhanced performance for both new and older transmissions. It is designed to protect automatic transmissions through improved oxidation resistance, friction durability, shear stability and wear protection to help meet warranty protection requirements in late model vehicles. Designed to provide responsive shift feel throughout the life of the oil, Petro-Canada DEXRON®;-VI ATF consistently protects vehicle transmissions longer than all previous DEXRON® type fluids.

Petro-Canada DEXRON®-VI ATF was developed in conjunction with General Motors fluid design criteria for all 2006 and beyond model year vehicles with automatic transmissions requiring the use of fluid meeting the GMW16444 specification. General Motors recommends the use of DEXRON®VI for many automatic transmissions including those prior to 2006 model year. It is fully back serviceable where the former DEXRON®-III(H), -III(G) and -II(E) specifications were recommended. Petro-Canada DEXRON®-VI is also approved against Mercedes- Benz MB236.41 / DTFR 10B100 specification and conforming to Detroit Diesel DFS 93K230. Petro-Canada DEXRON®-VI ATF is Voith Transmission approved for the 36,000 mile standard drain interval (H55.6335.xx DIWA Service Bulletin 013 and 118, formerly G1363).

Petro-Canada DEXRON®-VI is suitable for use where Volvo specification 97342 is mandated. It is also suitable where Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep vehicles call for Part Number 68043742AA. Note that most Chrysler automatic transmissions require an ATF+4® fluid, also available from Petro-Canada Lubricants.

Petro-Canada ATF D3M demonstrates outstanding oxidative and thermal stability, giving extremely long service life under severe operating conditions. The fluid’s operating range is between -40°C/-40°F and 160°C/320°F. ATF D3M is qualified for use in transmissions where a fluid meeting the former DEXRON®-III(H), -III(G), -II(E), or MERCON®specification is recommended. This would include where the legacy General Motors specification 6297M and Ford specifications M2C166-H or M2C185-A are recommended.

Petro-Canada ATF D3M is designed to meet the severe requirements of Allison C4 (obsolete) and V-730D specifications for transmission/torque converter fluids. It is approved against Allison TES-389 Rev. B specification that has replaced Allison C4. Petro-Canada ATF D3M is suitable for use when Caterpillar TO-2 (obsolete), MB 236.1, Ford M2C166H and JASO M315-1A specifications are recommended.

Petro-Canada ATF D3M also acts as an excellent hydraulic fluid with superior antiwear performance when compared to hydraulic fluids or motor oils.

Petro-Canada ATF D3M is superior to 10W motor oils commonly used in mobile equipment hydraulic systems, because it has a better cold starting performance, superior materials compatibility and a greater resistance to oxidation. It may be used in power steering units specifying a DEXRON®-III or II type fluid. It is dyed red for easy identification.

Petro-Canada ATF D3M can be used in General Motors (prior to 2006 and Ford (1980 to 1996) vehicles. It also meets or exceeds the requirements of the following manufacturers where a DEXRON®-III/MERCON® type fluid is recommended.
