1.0 General Information On Automatic Transmission Fluids
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 259 other vehicles, including the 2006 BMW Z4, 2006 BMW X5, 2006 BMW X3, 2006 BMW M6, and 2006 BMW M5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Automatic Transmission Fluid was developed especially for automatic transmissions. It requires additives which are carefully matched with each other, a high viscosity index and a solidification point below -40°F/-40°C.
Friction behavior of Automatic Transmission Fluid in plate-type clutches under very different operating conditions is extremely important. Other important factors are:
- Wear Protection
- Oil Film Shear Resistance
- Adhesive Property
- Oxidation Resistance
- Corrosion Inhibition
- Sludge Prevention
- Temperature-Dependent Viscosity Changes
- Compatibility With Sealing Materials
