The Complete Guide to AMSOIL Transmission Fluid
Your transmission is one of the most expensive components in your vehicle — and the fluid running through it is its lifeblood. AMSOIL synthetic transmission fluids are engineered for every modern transmission type, from ultra-low-viscosity 10-speed automatics to heavy-duty Allison fleet transmissions, dual-clutch gearboxes, CVTs, manual transaxles, V-Twin motorcycles, and zero-turn mower hydrostatic drives.
Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) — The Modern Lineup
Modern automatic transmissions run hotter, shift faster, and demand more from their fluid than ever before. AMSOIL Signature Series Fuel-Efficient ATF, ULV ATF, and Multi-Vehicle ATF cover virtually every car and light truck on the road, while Torque-Drive and Super Shift handle Allison commercial and high-performance racing transmissions. For CVT and DCT applications, AMSOIL offers dedicated synthetic fluids that are not interchangeable with conventional ATF.
Manual Transmission Fluid — Synchromesh, Gear Lube & Powershift
Manual transmissions need fluid matched to the gearbox design. GM, Chrysler, and many imports specify synchromesh-type fluid (use AMSOIL 5W-30 Manual Synchromesh). Other manuals and transaxles call for an API GL-4 75W-90 gear lube. Heavy-duty Class 8 trucks and off-highway equipment use AMSOIL Powershift fluids in SAE 10W, 30, and 50 grades, plus the long-life FTF SAE 50 for Eaton extended-drain applications.
Powersports Transmission Fluid — V-Twin, ATV/UTV & Dirt Bike
Motorcycle and powersports gearboxes run wet clutches that demand specialized friction chemistry. AMSOIL V-Twin Transmission and Primary Fluids are formulated for Harley-Davidson and other V-Twin motorcycles. The ATV/UTV lineup covers transmission/differential, powertrain, dual-clutch, and CVT applications for Polaris, Can-Am, Honda, Yamaha, and Kawasaki side-by-sides. Two-stroke dirt bikes get a dedicated SAE 80 transmission fluid for crisp shifting and consistent clutch feel.
Hydrostatic Transmission Fluid — Zero-Turn Mowers & Lawn Equipment
Zero-turn mowers, garden tractors, and other hydrostatic-drive equipment use a dedicated hydrostatic fluid that must maintain consistent viscosity at high temperatures and resist shear in the closed-loop pump system. AMSOIL 20W-50 100% Synthetic Hydrostatic Transmission Fluid is engineered specifically for this application — extending pump life and keeping drive performance consistent through hot summer mowing.
