DEXRON®-VI
DEXRON®-VI shifts the paradigm for Automatic Transmission Fluids
Introducing the next generation of Automatic Transmission Fluid. DEXRON®-VI is the new standard over current DEXRON®-III fluids. DEXRON®-VI delivers:
- twice the service life of DEXRON®-III under normal driving conditions
- more consistent shift performance under all driving conditions
- enhanced performance in new and older transmissions
- the potential for improved fuel economy
DEXRON®-VI improves transmission life
DEXRON®-VI has improved oxidation, thermal and shear stability to provide extra protection under severe service conditions. Its enhanced anti-foam control, anti-wear protection and low temperature fluidity protects parts such as bearings, bushings and gears.
Twice the life of DEXRON®-III
Under normal service operation, DEXRON®-III needs to be changed every 160,000 kms (100,000 miles). DEXRON®-VI has been shown to last over 320,000 kms (200,000 miles). It provides an extended service life through:
- durability of frictional properties
- improved film strength and wear control
- outstanding thermal and oxidative stability
- enhanced shear stability
DEXRON®-VI is completely back-serviceable in all DEXRON®-III and -IIE applications
Developed through a collaboration with General Motors
A joint effort between General Motors (GM), Afton Chemical Corporation and Petro-Canada, DEXRON®-VI was developed for GM’s Hydra-Matic 6L80 six-speed transmission. DEXRON®-VI is now the global factory fill fluid of choice for all General Motors automatic transmissions.
ATF D3M
ATF D3M delivers long service life for your transmissions
Petro-Canada’s ATF D3M automatic transmission fluid provides oxidation and thermal stability for long transmission life in automatic, powershift and hydrostatic transmissions used in most cars, trucks and off-highway vehicles.
ATF D3M performance features
Petro-Canada’s ATF D3M is formulated to stay like new — longer
- Lasts up to 160,000 km (100,000 miles) under normal driving conditions
- Maintains fluidity at low temperatures, enabling cold weather start-ups at temperatures down to -36°C/-33°F
- Anti-wear protection reduces wear on bearings, bushings and gears
- Frictional properties deliver smooth gear shifts
- Prevents clutch shudder in modulated torque converters
Applications
- May be used in automatic transmissions where a fluid meeting the former DEXRON®-IIIH, -IIIG, -IIE, or -II specification was recommended
- Meets or exceeds top tier “H” class of former DEXRON®-III specifications
- General Motors now recommends DEXRON®-VI for all GM automatic transmissions
- Ford recommends only MERCON®-V or MERCON®-SP service fluids in Ford automatic transmissions
ATF D3M may also be used where the following specifications are recommended
- Mercedes-Benz 236.1
- Allison TES-389 and C-4
- Caterpillar TO-2
- Also meets requirements for Clark Powershift & Renke transmissions
- May also be used in hydraulic and power steering systems
Heavy Duty Synthetic Blend ATF
Heavy Duty Synthetic Blend ATF for heavy duty transmission systems
Petro-Canada’s Heavy Duty Synthetic Blend fluid is specially formulated for commercial and heavy duty transmission systems. Designed for severe service applications, this automatic transmission fluid delivers:
- outstanding thermal and oxidative stability
- extended drain intervals
- stable friction properties
- excellent wear protection
Multiple heavy duty applications
- Approved for Voith (Voith G1363) and ZF ( ZF TE-ML.14.B) extended drain applications and Allison C-4
- Suitable for use where Allison TES-295, Caterpillar TO-2 or MERCON®-V is recommended
- May also be used in automatic transmissions where a fluid meeting the former DEXRON®-IIIH, -IIIG, -IIE, or -II specification was recommended
- GM recommends the use of DEXRON®-VI for all GM automatic transmissions
