IDEMITSU AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID (ATF)

Idemitsu ATF formulations are exclusively designed to meet the needs of specific Asian vehicle transmission applications. Each formula uniquely differs with respect to viscosity, oxidation prevention, friction durability, aeration control and wear protection.

Why You Should Always Use Idemitsu ATF

  • Precisely engineered formulas match OEM friction materials and exact viscosity requirements, providing “dialed-in” performance
  • Excellent anti-shudder durability, oxidation stability and deposit control
  • Smoother shifting and higher torque capacity for high-energy clutch engagements
  • Precise friction enables increased utilization and controlled slipping of torque converter lockup clutch for improved fuel economy
  • Reduced warranty claims and repair call-backs

The Case for Vehicle-Specific ATF

To accommodate the increasing number of gear sets, the clutch packs have become smaller and the total surface areas of the clutch plates have been reduced. ATFs must provide a precise balance of frictional properties that provide the exact coefficient of friction specific to the OEM design that allows proper clutch heat transfer and wear protection.

ATFs must provide a precise balance of frictional properties that provide the exact coefficient of friction specific to the OEM design that allows proper clutch heat transfer and wear protection.

In addition, the increased use of the torque converter lockup clutch requires controlled friction properties that enable the hardware to deliver significant efficiency improvements. When ATF friction properties are not compatible with the torque converter lockup clutch material, the transmission produces shudder (vibration), and drivability is negatively impacted.

These two friction requirements require a delicate balance of friction modifier additive chemistry stabilized by a robust combination of antioxidants and specifically engineered lubricant fluid (or base oil) technology in order to deliver the performance required for smooth and consistent vehicle launches and shifting throughout the entire life of the oil.

Working with individual OEMs, Idemitsu has engineered technologies to meet these precise property requirements.
