Features & Benefits
- Meets performance requirements for nearly all vehicles with belt-type continuously variable transmissions
- High steel-on-steel friction to prevent belt slippage, which can result in high or even catastrophic wear
- Low steel-on-paper friction to prevent torque converter clutch slippage, which can result in shudder
- Excellent oxidation resistance and thermal stability for long fluid life
- Protects against sludge and varnish formation
- Protects against wear
- Protects against rust and corrosion
- Excellent low-temperature properties for easier shifting in cold weather
- Good seal compatibility
- Good foam resistance
Applications
- Passenger cars with belt-driven continuously variable transmissions (CVTs)
