PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic Powershift Transmission Fluids are specifically
designed for high-torque heavy-duty powershift transmissions. Formulated
for extended drain intervals, Powershift Transmission Fluids contain
top-quality synthetic base stocks and a high level of top-quality
additives selected specifically for powershift transmissions. They offer
exceptional transmission friction performance, smooth brake operation,
reduced gear and bearing wear and increased equipment life.
Friction Characteristics
AMSOIL Synthetic Powershift Transmission Fluids are compatible with
common metallic and non-metallic friction materials. Their stable
frictional characteristics help eliminate excessive brake noise and
vibration. Their nonslip friction durability virtually eliminates clutch
slippage, which can cause glazing or friction surface deposits and
material degradation. Powershift Transmission Fluids are formulated to
deliver responsive yet smooth clutch engagements, excellent power
transmission through clutches and synchronizers and superior hydraulic
fluid performance for servo-equipped units.
Wear Protection
AMSOIL Synthetic Powershift Transmission Fluids exceed the wear
requirements of the Caterpillar TO-4 specification and are formulated
without viscosity index improvers for superior shear stability. This
superior shear stability allows Powershift Transmission Fluids to
maintain grade throughout service life, providing long-term protection
against equipment wear, even when equipment is frequently subjected to
sustained periods of applied pressure or high horsepower and high
torque.
Superior High and Low Temperature Performance
In high temperatures, AMSOIL Synthetic Powershift
Transmission Fluids effectively protect components from wear. Their
superior oxidative and thermal stability inhibits the formation of
varnish, deposits and sludge so equipment runs clean. Synthetic
Powershift Transmission Fluids are excellent heat transfer fluids and
may help hot-running equipment operate cooler and run in its optimal
temperature range. In low temperatures, Synthetic Powershift
Transmission Fluids flow readily for dependable startup and post-startup
protection.
Copper Corrosion, Rust and Foam Inhibition
AMSOIL Synthetic Powershift Transmission Fluids protect equipment from
copper corrosion and rust, even during equipment storage. Synthetic
Powershift Transmission Fluids do not foam in service, protecting
equipment from the metal-to-metal contact and wear that occurs with use
of foam-filled fluids.

AMSOIL Synthetic SAE 50 Powershift Transmission Fluid
is formulated for Fuller CD-50 performance and is ideal for use in
Rockwell/Eaton/Fuller, Spicer, Fabco, Warner and other large truck
manual transmissions.
AMSOIL Synthetic SAE 50 Powershift Transmission Fluids
can be used in Caterpillar, Allison, Komatsu, Clark, Hurth, Borg-Warner,
Twin Disc, Voith, ZF, Funk and Brockhouse powershift-type transmissions
and Eaton/Rockwell/Fuller transmissions.
Installation
AMSOIL Synthetic Powershift Transmission Fluids are fully compatible
with other TO-4 fluids used in powershift applications. To install
AMSOIL Synthetic Powershift Transmission Fluids, drain the fluid in the
system, replace the filter (if so equipped) and install the appropriate
Powershift Transmission Fluid.
Service Life
AMSOIL Synthetic Powershift Transmission Fluids provide extended service
life beyond conventional petroleum fluids if Synthetic Powershift
Transmission Fluids are kept free of dirt and moisture. Oil analysis is
recommended if extending service intervals beyond equipment manufacturer
recommendations.
AMSOIL Synthetic Powershift Transmission Fluids may be
used for 250,000 miles or two years (whichever comes first) in CD-50
manual transmission applications.
