DEXRON® III/ MERCON® ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluids)
is a premium quality, multi-purpose automatic transmission fluid that can be used in many types of transmissions.
It is fully approved for use in General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, American Motors and other transmissions that specify DEXRON®-III or DEXRON® III section H, DEXRON®-IIE, DEXRON-II or MERCON® fluid. In addition to automobile transmissions, it is approved for use in powershift transmissions that require Allison C-4 or Caterpillar TO-2 fluid.
This versatility makes DEXRON® -III/MERCON® ATF ideal for mixed fleet application.

DEXRON® -III/MERCON® Automatic Transmission Fluids is blended with highly refined base stocks and selected additives. It exhibits superior oxidation stability as well as excellent resistance to rust, corrosion and foaming. In addition, DEXRON®- III/MERCON® ATF contains friction-modifying additives that allow transmissions to shift smoothly, yet attain a positive lockup.
DEXRON® -III/MERCON® ATF is specially formulated to eliminate shudder often encountered in transmissions with continuously slipping torque converter clutches. The same superior oxidation resistance and wear prevention ability that has proven to protect transmissions serves to protect many rotary air compressors and hydraulic systems.
DEXRON® -III/MERCON® Automatic Transmission Fluids is an excellent fluid for many such applications; especially where low temperatures are encountered.

BENEFITS:
• MULTI-FUNCTIONAL FLUID
• MEETS CAR MAKER WARRANTY REQUIREMENTS
• PROTECTS AGAINST WEAR
• RESISTS OXIDATION FOR LONG SERVICE LIFE
• SHIFTS SMOOTHLY WITH POSITIVE LOCKUP

APPLICATIONS:
DEXRON® -III/MERCON® ATF is recommended for the following applications:
• All late model GM, American Motors, Chrysler and most imported car, light truck and van automatic transmissions, as well as, those in Ford vehicles that call for Mercon® fluid.
• Applications requiring an Allison C-4 fluid or Caterpillar TO-2 fluid
• GMC truck and coach division vehicles using V, V-H and Super V transmissions
• Allison AT, MT and HT transmissions
• Sundstrand and Eaton heavy duty transmissions

Transmission Fluid Guide – NO. TB 150122.1
Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF): is requirement of a transmission, such as valve operation, brake band friction and the torque converter as well as gear lubrication for synchronized self-shifting or automatic transmissions. It is typically colored red or green to distinguish it from motor oil and other fluids in the vehicle. This Technical Service Bulletin is designed to provide back ground into different transmission fluids past and present.

General Purpose Transmission Fluids: Xtreme Type A ATF, Unimark Type F ATF

• Type A Transmission Fluid: Type A Transmission Fluid was introduced in the mid 1950’s for use in all automatic transmissions for General Motors vehicle brands. Type A was used through the mid 1960’s and subsequently revised to Type A, Suffix A.
• Type F Transmission Fluid: Ford Motor and Toyota introduced the Type F Transmission in 1967 as equivalence to the General Motors Type A Transmission Fluid. Shifting was a bit more noticeable than with General Motor’s fluids which include the original Dexron and subsequent variations
• Dexron: General Motors original ATF for automatic transmission fluids, covered typically as Type F transmission fluid.

Multi-Purpose Automatic Transmission Fluid: Unimark Multi-Purpose D-III/M ATF
Most lubricant manufacturers use this generic term for their automatic transmission fluid which meets the former General Motors Dexron III and Ford Mercon specifications which are no longer licensable by GM and Ford respectively.

• Dexron II: General Motors Dexron II was developed in the 1970s to replace GM Dexron for TorqueFlite transmissions to provide better viscosity control and additional oxidation inhibitors. There were some early-90s variants of Dexron II called Dexron II-D and Dexron II-E.
• Dexron IIE: First General Motors requirements fluid for electronic transmissions.
• Mercon Type CJ: This is a specialty transmission fluid for Ford C-6 transmissions. It is designed similar to General Motors Dexron II specification. This type of drive train fluid should not be used in automatics that require Type F. It can be replaced with Mercon or Mercon V specification.
• Mercon Type H: An obsoleted Ford specification that differs from both General Motors Dexron and Ford Type F transmission fluids. It can be replaced by Mercon or Mercon V specification.
• Ford Mercon: Ford fluid introduced in 1987, very similar to Dexron II. As of July 1, 2007, the production and licensing of Mercon ATF by Ford ends.
• Dexron III (H): Replaced General Motor Dexron II released in 2003 for use in Torque Flite transmission. This specification required improved oxidation and corrosion control in GM electronic automatics.
• Dexron III/Saturn: A special fluid specification for Saturn aluminum differential cases transmissions.
• C-4 Torque Fluid: Commercial designation by Allison Division of GM for the heavy and medium duty automatic transmission fluids. Based on Allison specification TES-389 in 1991; Allison Transmission implemented one of the first approval system for particular brands. Allison Division no longer supports this specification. General Motors Dexron III or Ford Mercon fluids sold today qualify to the specification requirements.

Multi-Vehicle Automatic Transmission Fluid Unimark Global Multi-Purpose ATF

Atf 4 Compatible With Dexron

A generic term for fluid which will meet the requirements of most manufacturers’ individual automatic transmission requirements in autos from North America, Asia and Europe not requiring a “low viscosity” fluid.

• Dexron-VI: Introduced in 2006 for GM Hydra-Matic 6L80 6-speed rear-wheel-drive transmissions. Dexron VI replaced Dexron II and III, and can be used in General Motors domestically built or import transmissions that specified Dexron II or Dexron III. Dexron VI is a low viscosity transmission fluid and should also be used with the full synthetic low viscosity transmission fluid.
• Mercon V: Introduced in 1997 to replace Ford Mercon for Ranger, Explorer V6 and Aerostar, and 1998 & up Windstar, Taurus/Sable and Continental. This is the current automatic transmission fluid covered under Ford TSB 06144 for most late model Ford products requiring high viscosity requirements.
• Mercon SP: Enhanced friction-modified automatic transmission fluid building on Mercon V for Ford Torq Shift transmissions covered under Ford TSB 06144.
