Heavy stop-and-go traffic, frequent short trips, trailer towing; they all put your engine to the supreme test and can take a toll on your transmission. Under these tough conditions, you can help your transmission run better and longer when you follow the vehicle manufacturer's severe service schedule and change the automatic transmission fluid (ATF) at the recommended intervals.
Chevron Multi-Vehicle ATF
Chevron Multi-Vehicle ATF is an advanced technology, high performance, multipurpose power transmission fluid. It is fully approved and licensed under the MERCON® V and Allison C-4 specifications. In addition, it is suitable for service fill of many transmissions manufactured by North American, Asian, and European OEMs.
It is formulated with premium, severely hydroprocessed base stocks and carefully crafted
additives that provide oxidation and thermal stability, friction control, load-carrying ability, corrosion and wear protection. It helps protect against the formation of sludge, varnish, other harmful deposits, and foam.
Compared to conventional ATFs, Chevron Multi-Vehicle ATF has exceptional low temperature flow properties and enhanced protection against viscosity breakdown at high temperatures. It also has superior oxidation and thermal stability, resulting in longer service life.
Under the most severe operating conditions, this fluid:
- Maintains friction control for smooth shift action and prevention of shudder
- Retains high temperature viscosity resulting in increased oil film thickness and better wear protection
- Greatly extends the time to transmission overhauls due to sludge, corrosion, or wear of gears, bearings, and clutches.
Customer Benefits
Chevron Multi-Vehicle ATF delivers value through:
- Lower inventory cost – One ATF can be used for the vast majority of automatic transmissions on the road today.
- Longer equipment life – Advanced formula protects against wear, corrosion, and the formation of lacquers, sludge, or other harmful deposits.
- Longer oil life – Premium base oil and extra oxidation inhibitors result in increased oil service life.
- Smoother operation – Carefully chosen friction modifiers allow for smooth shifting, efficient power transfer, and anti-shudder protection.
Applications
Chevron Multi-Vehicle ATF is recommended for all applications that call for the former DEXRON®-III H fluid and for MERCON® V and Allison C-4 fluids. It has passed the performance test requirements of ZF and Voith.
Chevron Multi-Vehicle ATF is suitable for service fill of the vast majority of vehicles made in North America. It will also work well in many Japanese, Korean, and European vehicles such as those made by Acura, BMW, Daewoo, Honda, Hyundai, Infiniti, Isuzu, Jaguar, KIA, Land Rover, Lexus, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Saab, Subaru, Suzuki, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Volvo.
Chevron Multi-Vehicle ATF has the following
qualifications:
- Allison Transmission – C4-31632005
- Ford MERCON V – M5050901
- Voith – G607
- ZF – TE-ML 14A
Chevron Multi-Vehicle ATF has been tested for performance in Japanese transmissions under the JASO 1A ATF standard. The product will deliver the shifting performance and superior anti-shudder durability which is desired by Japanese and Korean automakers.
Always check your owner’s manual to determine the proper automatic transmission fluid for your vehicle.
Chevron Multi-Vehicle ATF is not suitable for a limited number of special applications, such as:
- Ford transmissions manufactured before 1977 and some pre-1982 transmissions require a Type F fluid such as Chevron ATF Type F (no friction modifier)
- Vehicles with continuously variable transmissions (CVTs) require special fluids.
