  • Protects against rust and corrosion
  • Good seal compatibility
  • Suitable for both automotive and industrial applications

Applications

  • GM and Ford automatic transmissions in 2005 and earlier model-year vehicles that are no longer under warranty, where the OEM previously specified DEXRON®-III H, DEXRON-II, DEXRON or MERCON® ATF
  • Import vehicles where DEXRON-III H (obsolete) or an earlier-generation DEXRON fluid (obsolete) is specified
  • Allison heavy-duty off-highway automatic transmissions that require a C-4 quality fluid
  • Hydraulic systems on industrial and mobile equipment operating over a wide temperature range

    Note: Classic ATF is not recommended for use in newer automatic transmissions that require a GM DEXRON-VI, Ford MERCON LV, Ford MERCON SP or Ford MERCON V fluid for warranty coverage, or in continuously variable transmissions (CVTs).
