Signature Series Multi-Vehicle Automatic Transmission Fluid – ATF DEXRON III and More

AMSOIL ATF Automatic Transmission Fluid – Covers most pre 2008 formulations

The main most versatile ATF. Use the look up guide to verify it’s compatible with your year model. Our bestselling transmission fluid and AMSOIL’s top 5 most advanced product. You’ll notice in your owner’s manual it will direct you to one of the specifications on this page, but the AMSOIL Look-up guide may show the “Blue Label” ATF (AMSOIL ATL). This is because your manufacturer at some point “upgraded” the specification to include going back several years to upgrade your specification. In this case you can chose either but with a lot of miles you are better off sticking with the original recommendation.

Signature Series Automatic Transmission Fluid

Designed for hard-working vehicles that live in severe service. Handles heat so well, you can confidently double your vehicle manufacturer’s severe-service drain interval with guaranteed AMSOIL protection.

Becoming popular in Omaha even with top car dealerships. They know the customer will notice the improved performance, so they want this in after a transmission repair.

Take advantage of the dozens of benefits as well as a superior product which does away with any future additives or even scheduled maintenance.  The ATF lasts many times longer. Known throughout the industry to eliminate even the most common failures, it keeps temperatures under control when under severe use (drops up to 50F when compared to other fluids) and saves energy.

Many of our customers have noted using AMSOIL ATF, even a partial fill, to regain lost power.  OEM fluids can lose effective power transfer as soon as 25,000 miles. AMSOIL ATF has been tested to still hold merit at 180,000 miles.  *

Signature Series Multi-Vehicle Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid

AMSOIL Signature Series Multi-Vehicle Synthetic ATF is engineered to outperform conventional automatic transmission fluids and exceed the performance requirements of most North American, European and Asian vehicles. This sophisticated formulation provides outstanding performance and protection in the severe operating conditions of today’s most advanced transmission designs.

Transmissions in commercial vehicles, SUVs, trucks and vans – particularly those used for hauling or towing – are subjected to severe-service operation and increased heat. Elevated temperatures cause fluids to break down, allowing damaging metal-to-metal contact and the formation of sludge and deposits. The problem is worse in modern transmissions with more gears, clutch packs and narrow oil passages that require clean, high-quality fluid to achieve maximum performance and life.

AMSOIL Signature Series Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid is specifically formulated to withstand the rigors of heavy towing, elevated temperatures and challenging terrain. It remains fluid in sub-zero temperatures and provides reserve protection during heavy use and even abuse.

Amsoil Omaha’s Transmission Fluid Tech Tip

Proven in 100,000-mile, Severe-Service Taxi Fleet Field Trial

To demonstrate its effectiveness in severe service, Signature Series Multi-Vehicle Synthetic ATF was installed in vehicles owned by a Las Vegas cab company. The vehicles routinely encountered demanding stop-and-go driving loaded with passengers and cargo, while the desert environment presented extremely hot ambient temperatures, placing enormous strain on the fluid. Following 100,000 miles, a transmission was selected for analysis. The Aluminum Beaker Oxidation Test (ABOT) is one industry-accepted method used to determine a transmission fluid’s oxidation resistance, which is a good indicator of its service life. Testing by an independent, third-party lab reveals that after 100,000 miles in severe service, Signature Series Multi-Vehicle Synthetic ATF resisted oxidation longer than required for new fluid to meet the Chrysler ATF+4 specification (see graph). Internal components, including the valve body and clutch plates (pictured), were virtually free of damaging sludge, deposits and wear, confirming the lubricant’s high level of protection for severe-service applications.

Protects Against Thermal Breakdown
Signature Series Synthetic ATF is formulated with high concentrations of antioxidants, making it naturally heat resistant. As a result, it provides outstanding protection against sludge and varnish deposits that clog narrow oil passages and contribute to clutch glazing. After 100,000 miles in severe service, fluid analysis revealed Signature Series Multi-Vehicle Synthetic ATF contained 41 percent of its original oxidation inhibitors, proving its long-lasting resistance to thermal breakdown.

Outstanding Wear Protection

Varying speeds and loads causes torque multiplication and extreme stress on gears and bearings. AMSOIL formulated Signature Series Synthetic ATF with high film strength and premium anti-wear/extreme-pressure additives to help prevent wear during severe service. In the industry-standard FZG Gear Wear Test, Signature Series Multi-Vehicle Synthetic ATF that had been used for 100,000 severe-service miles achieved a “Pass” at stage 12 – the highest stage. The results exceeded the Ford MERCON V and Chrysler ATF+4 specifications for new fluid, demonstrating the lubricant’s long-lasting wear protection.

Cold-Temperature Fluidity

Cold, thick automatic transmission fluid lengthens shift times and reduces fuel economy. Signature Series Synthetic ATF is wax-free and delivers extraordinary cold-flow properties (< -60°F pour point). It helps improve shift response, energy efficiency and warm-up times.

Friction Durability

Today’s transmissions are smaller and must withstand higher horsepower and torque while delivering smoother shifts, all with longer fluid life recommendations. AMSOIL Signature Series Synthetic ATF is formulated with friction modifier additives that deliver outstanding clutch-holding capacity (static friction), torque-transfer ability (dynamic friction) and anti-shudder properties (slipping torque-converter clutches). Analysis reveals that after 100,000 miles in severe service, Signature Series Multi-Vehicle Synthetic ATF provides nearly identical friction properties as new fluid for smooth, reliable shifts.

ATF Customer Reviews!!

Best ATF I’ve ever used

By  Mike,  a  Verified Buyer  from  Tennessee   on  May 19, 2024

I had the infamous transmission shudder on my 2018 Duramax Colorado and I changed to the AMSOIL ATF fluid, the shudder is no more, and the transmission shifts so smoothly like its brand new. I am very impressed with this oil and will be using this in all my vehicles from here on out!

provides a little peace of mind.

By DANEN,  a  Verified Buyer from  GTA  on  June 09, 2024

my 1998 Chevrolet c1500 tranny was rebuilt at 275,000 km. presumable the transmission shop put in a decent quality fluid. I decided to do 3 drain and fills out the dip stick of 3 quarts each. i changed about about 7 of the 12 total liters. so far no issues. i will likely do a few more changes and switch it al over to Amsoil. provides some peace of mind hopefully a small reduction in drag of the vehicle.
