PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic Powershift Transmission
Fluids are specifically designed for heavy-duty powershift
transmissions. Formulated for extended drain intervals,
AMSOIL Synthetic Powershift Transmission Fluids contain
top-quality synthetic basestocks and a high level of top-quality
additives selected specifically for powershift transmission
performance. They offer unmatched transmission friction
performance, smooth brake operation, reduced gear and
bearing wear and increased equipment life. AMSOIL Synthetic
Powershift Transmission Fluids extend time between overhauls.
AMSOIL Synthetic SAE 50 Powershift Transmission
Fluid exceeds Fuller CD-50 performance specification and
is ideal for use in Fuller, Rockwell, Spicer, Fabco, Warner
and other large truck manual transmissions.
Friction Characteristics
AMSOIL Synthetic Powershift Transmission
Fluids are compatible with common metallic and nonmetallic
friction materials. AMSOIL Synthetic Powershift Transmission
Fluids' stable frictional characteristics eliminate the
problems of excessive brake noise and vibration, clutch
slippage, friction surface deposits and design material
degradation.
AMSOIL Synthetic Powershift Transmission
Fluids are formulated for fast, smooth clutch engagements
and wet brake operations; excellent power transmission
through clutches and synchronizers; and superior hydraulic
fluid performance for servo equipped units.
Wear Protection
AMSOIL Synthetic Powershift Transmission
Fluids exceed the wear requirements of the Caterpillar
TO-4 specification. AMSOIL Synthetic Powershift Transmission
Fluids are formulated without viscosity index improvers
for superior shear stability. They maintain grade throughout
service life, due to their superior shear stability, providing
long-term protection against equipment wear, even when
equipment is frequently subjected to sustained periods
of applied pressure or high horsepower and high torque.
High and Low Temperature Performance
In high temperatures, AMSOIL Synthetic
Powershift Transmission Fluids dependably protect components
from wear. Their superior oxidative and thermal stability
inhibits the formation of varnish, deposits and sludge
so equipment runs clean. AMSOIL Synthetic Powershift Transmission
Fluids are excellent heat transfer fluids and may help
hot-running equipment operate up to 50° F cooler and keep
them running in their optimal temperature range. In low
temperatures, AMSOIL Synthetic Powershift Transmission
Fluids flow readily for dependable startup and post-startup
protection.
Copper Corrosion, Rust and Foam Inhibition
AMSOIL Synthetic Powershift Transmission
Fluids protect equipment from copper corrosion and rust,
even during equipment storage. AMSOIL Synthetic Powershift
Transmission Fluids do not foam in service, protecting
equipment from the metal-to-metal contact and wear that
occurs with use of foam-filled fluids.
INSTALLATION
AMSQIL Synthetic Powershift Transmission
Fluids are fully compatible with other fluids used in
powershift applications. To install AMSOIL Synthetic Powershift
Transmission Fluids, drain the fluid in the system, replace
the filter (if so equipped) and install the appropriate
AMSOIL Synthetic Powershift Transmission Fluid.
SERVICE LIFE
AMSOIL Synthetic Powershift Transmission
Fluids provide two to five times the service life of conventional
petroleum fluids if AMSOIL Synthetic Powershift Transmission
Fluids are kept free of dirt and moisture.
AMSOIL Synthetic Powershift Transmission
Fluids may be used for 250,000 miles or five years (whichever
comes first) in manual transmissions.
