Product Description

Mobil ATF D/M provides the excellent oxidation and friction stability, anti-wear properties, and low-temperature fluidity desired for most automatic transmissions.



Features and Benefits

Advantages offered by Mobil ATF D/M over transmission fluids of lower quality are:



  • Excellent oxidation stability — resists chemical deterioration over long service periods.
  • High viscosity index — retains adequate lubricating body for severe hot-weather service without thickening excessively at low starting temperatures
  • Corrosion prevention — provides protection against rusting and corrosion, plus special protection for soldered fittings
  • Foaming resistance — contains an effective anti-foaming agent
  • Elastomer compatibility — is not harmful to synthetic rubber seal materials.
  • Good lubricating characteristics — gives quiet operation, smooth shifting, and excellent wear protection.
  • Controlled friction properties — transmission of power is smooth and efficient throughout all normal temperature ranges.

Applications

Mobil ATF D/M is recommended by ExxonMobil for use in 2005 and earlier GM vehicles. Mobil DEXRON-VI is recommended for 2006 and newer GM vehicles and for improved performance in 2005 and earlier GM vehicles, wherever DEXRON is specified. Mobil ATF D/M is also recommended by ExxonMobil for use in 1988 and newer Fords, except vehicles that require MERCON V or Type F ATF.

Mobil ATF D/M meets the transmission fluid requirements for Allison automatic transmissions and other heavy-duty equipment that requires a Dexron-III fluid. It is approved for use in applications requiring an Allison C-4 specified fluid and therefore can be used in Allison Powershift transmissions or other torque converter systems that. It is also recommended for Caterpillar TO-2 applications Mobil ATF D/M is recommended for power steering units where the manufacturer recommends a Dexron or Mercon fluid. Many car makers recommend against the use of automatic transmission fluids and, instead, require the use of their own power steering fluids to provide maximum hose life and to minimize pump squeal and wear.

Mobil ATF D/M also can be used as the lubricating oil in several types of rotary air compressors under certain service conditions. Its low-temperature properties and resistance to oxidation are important factors in meeting the requirements of this service.

Good maintenance practice dictates that automatic transmissions be checked for proper fluid levels at regular intervals, and that the fluid be drained and replaced at intervals recommended by the manufacturer. Some manufacturers recommend more frequent changes of transmission fluid under severe driving conditions such
