AMSOIL Fuel Efficient ATF Transmission Oil Meets Ford MERCON ULV Standards?

Feedback from AMSOIL regarding this issue

Specifications of AMSOIL Signature Series Fuel Efficient ATF

Features of AMSOIL Signature Series ATF:

1. Thermal degradation resistance: AMSOIL Signature Series ATF is formulated with a high concentration of antioxidants, providing excellent thermal resistance. This oil offers superior protection against sludge formation and deposits that can clog narrow oil passages, which is crucial for maintaining transmission performance and preventing issues such as clutch slippage.
2. Outstanding wear protection: AMSOIL Signature Series ATF is enhanced with anti-wear additives and extreme pressure agents that protect gears and bearings from wear during operation, especially under severe conditions. The oil's wear protection quality has been demonstrated through the FZG Gear Wear Test, achieving a "Pass" rating at stage 12 - the highest level in this test.
3. Low-temperature flow capability: One of the important factors for transmission oil is its ability to flow at low temperatures. AMSOIL Signature Series ATF features a wax-free formulation, allowing it to flow smoothly even in extremely low temperatures. This enhances shifting performance and minimizes energy consumption when starting and warming up the vehicle.
4. Long-lasting friction properties: Modern transmissions require oils to maintain stable friction properties throughout their service life. AMSOIL Signature Series ATF contains special friction modifiers that help maintain clutch grip, torque transfer capabilities, and vibration resistance, ensuring smooth and stable shifting throughout the oil's lifespan.
5. Superior thermal degradation resistance: AMSOIL Signature Series ATF is made with powerful antioxidants that enable the oil to resist thermal degradation, protecting internal transmission components from sludge and deposits. After 180,000 miles in extreme conditions, oil analysis shows that AMSOIL Signature Series ATF retains 83% of its oxidation resistance, surpassing the requirements of the Chrysler ATF+4 standard.

Tests proving the effectiveness of AMSOIL Signature Series ATF:

1. Testing on a taxi fleet under harsh conditions: To demonstrate the effectiveness of AMSOIL Signature Series ATF in severe operating conditions, AMSOIL conducted tests on a taxi fleet in Las Vegas, where vehicles frequently encountered stop-and-go driving, heavy loads, and high ambient temperatures. After 180,000 miles, analysis results showed that AMSOIL Signature Series ATF not only adequately protected internal transmission components but also exhibited long-lasting oxidation resistance, minimizing sludge and deposit formation.
2. Testing in extreme conditions with the FZG Gear Wear Test: This test measures the wear protection level of lubricants in harsh operating conditions. AMSOIL Signature Series ATF achieved a "Pass" rating at stage 12 in the F
