Multi-Vehicle ATF 3
Proven performance automatic transmission fluid
Multi-Vehicle ATF 3 is a proven performance automatic transmission fluid suitable for passenger car, light truck and bus transmissions requiring a GM DEXRON®-III fluid.
Applications
- Multi-Vehicle ATF 3 is designed for use in the automatic transmissions of cars, light trucks and buses that require a GM DEXRON®-III type fluid. Although this specification has been made technically obsolete by GM itself, many equipment manufacturers continue to recommend fluids of this type.
- Multi-Vehicle ATF 3 may be used in Ford passenger car transmissions that require a Ford MERCON®, M2C138-CJ or M2C166-H fluid. The product is not recommended for transmissions that require a Ford MERCON® V fluid (this is a separate specification to MERCON®). Due to fundamental differences in frictional properties, it should not be used in applications that require a Ford M2C33-F/G fluid.
- Multi-Vehicle ATF 3 is also suitable for use in power steering systems that require a mineral-type Power Steering Fluid. It should not be used in steering or active suspension systems that call for specific semisynthetic or synthetic fluids, as the response speed may not be sufficiently fast.
- Multi-Vehicle ATF 3 may also be used as a wide temperature range anti-wear hydraulic fluid for mobile, industrial and marine applications. The viscosity corresponds to ISO VG 32.
Customer benefits
- Formulated with specially tuned friction characteristics to help provide smoother shifts and lock-ups.
- Durable friction control designed to help provide smooth operation throughout fluid service life.
- High VI helps maintain fluid viscosity and transmission protection at high operating temperatures.
- Low temperature fluidity offers improved wear protection during cold start-up.
