Automatic transmissions normally operate at temperatures of 170-200°F and start up at temperatures as low as -40°F. ATF?s must flow easily at low temperatures, be highly resistant to thermal and oxidative degradation at high temperatures, be non-corrosive toward all transmission components, be resistant to foaming and have specialized friction and anti-wear properties. ProTecta utilizes special friction modifiers to provide smooth shifting and protects against heat especially during towing.
A lot has changed with the automatic transmission in the last several years. Computer controlled shifting and front wheel drive. OEM?s are rapidly turning to installing synthetic ATF in their luxury vehicles. ProTecta with its unique synthetic formulation provides improved protection to meet the demands of today?s sophisticated transmissions.
