Texaco Lubricants has announced the launch of its new Texaco Multi-Vehicle ATF product range.
The lineup of high-performance automatic transmission fluids (ATFs) is designed to meet the evolving needs of the automotive industry, offering broad compatibility and reliable performance for a wide range of vehicles. The range comprises three distinct formulations, Texaco Multi-Vehicle ATF 2, ATF 3, and ATF 6, each developed to deliver specific benefits for different transmission types and applications.
The Texaco Multi-Vehicle ATF range aims to address the increasing complexity of modern automatic transmissions, helping technicians and fleet operators select the right fluid and minimise the risk of misapplication. The formulations help to provide enhanced protection and performance across a variety of operating conditions, contributing to increased transmission longevity and optimised vehicle performance.
Texaco Multi-Vehicle ATF 2
This ATF is formulated for passenger cars, light trucks, and buses requiring GM DEXRON®-IID fluid. It is engineered with premium Group II base oils and a carefully balanced additive combination to help deliver efficient performance. Key benefits include:
- Smooth Shifting: Specially tuned friction characteristics promote smooth and consistent shifting throughout the fluid’s service life.
- Cold Start Protection: Low-temperature fluidity aids transmission protection during cold start-up.
- Cleanliness: Formulated to provide oxidation stability and help prevent the formation of harmful sludge, lacquer, or deposits.
- Viscosity Retention: Shear stability and a high viscosity index help maintain viscosity across the operating temperature range and fluid lifetime.
Texaco Multi-Vehicle ATF 2 meets selected specification standards for manufacturers including Daimler, Ford, and General Motors.
Texaco Multi-Vehicle ATF 3
Texaco Multi-Vehicle ATF 3 helps to deliver durable friction control for smoother shifts and lockups. This formulation offers high-temperature performance and robust cold-start protection. Its key features and benefits include:
- Smooth Shifts and Lockups: Formulated with specially tuned friction characteristics to help provide smoother shifts and lockups.
- Durable Friction Control: Designed to provide smooth operation throughout the fluid’s service life.
- High-Temperature Performance: A high viscosity index helps maintain fluid viscosity and transmission protection at high operating temperatures.
- Cold Start Protection: Low-temperature fluidity offers improved wear protection during cold start-up.
Texaco Multi-Vehicle ATF 3 is suitable for passenger cars, light trucks, and buses requiring GM DEXRON®-IID fluid. It is formulated to help resist wear, corrosion, and oxidation, protect transmission fluid coolers, and provide cold-start equipment protection. It meets selected specification standards from manufacturers including DANA, Ford, General Motors and Mercedes-Benz.
Texaco Multi-Vehicle ATF 6
This premium synthetic ATF is recommended for vehicles with six or more gears and is compatible with the latest DEXRON®-VI and MERCON®-LV specifications. Texaco Multi-Vehicle ATF 6 is optimised for consistent gear shifting, enhanced fuel economy, and extended drain intervals. Its key advantages include:
- Smooth and Consistent Shifting: Maintains friction control, helps deliver smooth, consistent gear shifting, and helps protect against shudder.
- Wide Temperature Operation: Designed for wide temperature operation with minimal shear-down to offer sufficient viscosity at high temperatures throughout its service life.
- Enhanced Protection: An advanced additive formula helps protect gears, bearings, clutch plates, seals, bushings, and other components, contributing to optimised equipment life.
- Extended Drain Intervals: Improved oxidation resistance offers extended drain intervals and helps prevent lacquer, sludge, and other harmful deposit formation.
- Fuel Economy: Formulated to help provide enhanced fuel economy due to lower viscous drag.
Texaco Multi-Vehicle ATF 6 meets selected specification standards for manufacturers including Aisin, Allison, BMW, Bosch Automotive Steering, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai/Kia, Jaguar/Land Rover, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Renault, Toyota, Volvo, Volkswagen, and ZF.
The Texaco Multi-Vehicle ATF range is suitable for a wide variety of models from European, Japanese, and American manufacturers. Each formula is designed to offer optimal friction control, smooth operation, and extended protection for vehicle transmission systems. These fluids provide reliable performance in both cold weather and high-temperature conditions, ensuring vehicles are protected in a huge range of driving scenarios.
