ATF Dexron 2 Power Steering Fluid/Automatic Transmission Fluid DII 5 Litres - Made in UK

Product Information

Most power steerings use ATF as power steering fluid, and Dexron 2 or 3 is compatible with many vehicles. Sometimes you will find “Dexron” written on your power steering’s filler cap, and you can also see what ATF you can use on your vehicle’s user manual.

The automatic safety transmission was first offered as an extra-cost option by the Oldsmobile Division of GM in the fall of 1937 for their Six and Eight models. It was only used during the 1938 and 1939 model years. The automatic safety transmission used the same seasonal grade of motor oil as the engine for lubrication and hydraulic functions. Dexron 2 and Dexron 3 are both automatic transmission fluids (ATF) developed by General Motors in the 1960s. While they share many of the same characteristics, there are some differences between them that should be considered when choosing which ATF to use for your vehicle. Dexron 2 has a lower viscosity than Dexron 3, meaning it is thinner and flows better through small passages in transmissions. While it’s tempting to opt for the cheapest option, remember that you get what you pay for. A high-quality fluid may cost more upfront but will save you money in the long run by prolonging your transmission’s life. The Need for a Transmission Fluid Equivalent Yes, transmissions designed to use Dexron 2 ATF work perfectly well with Dexron 3 ATF, and it’s completely safe to top them up with Dexron 3 as they blend perfectly. As a result, qualified GM automatic transmission fluid was made available at retailers and service garages everywhere.

Features & Applications

Over the years there have been different types of ATF oil or trans fluid developed by different manufacturers and the introduction of new technologies. In 2005, Ford released the Mercon Low Viscosity (LV) fluid and GM released the Dexron VI specification. [19] The fluid specification for Dexron-VI (J) was first used as the GM factory-fill automatic transmission fluid for the model year 2006. Roy Fewkes, GM Powertrain Staff Project Engineer and Chairman of the GM Chrysler minivans were produced before 1999. Not compatible with other fluids and should not be mixed. https://www.sae.org/publications/technical-papers/content/600049/ Automatic Transmission Fluid Viscosity at Low Temperature and its effect on transmission performance

This transmission and the transmission fluid specification were co-developed by Ford and GM. The current specification that defines the fluid is Ford WSS-M2C949-A. This fluid is also marketed as Mercon ULV.

Dexron, Dexron II, IID, and Dexron IIE—these are the original GM Dexron ATFs and are no longer licensed by the company, having been superseded by Dexron III, which has now itself been superseded by Dexron VI. The difference between Dexron, II, and IIE was mostly in the oxidation inhibitors. It is recommended for other transmissions where Dexron® and Dexron® II fluids are specified. Castrol Transmax Z synthetic automatic transmission fluid is approved for long drain for many European commercial vehicle applications. In 1973 General Motors developed Dexron 2 ATF for using it on their vehicles’ automatic transmissions. It was a long-lasting, high-quality product that met their transmissions’ requirements, ensuring smooth operation, proper lubrication, and cooling.

Type A and Type A, Suffix A—very old transmission fluids superseded by Dexron and Mercon. Equivalent to Mercedes-Benz Sheet 232.2. Released April 1, 1967. The original Dexron (B) fluid better retained the initial properties of the previous Type "A" Suffix "A" fluid (Several thousand cycles compared to 1000 cycles). [11] Dexron (B) was composed of a more stable, less reactive, hydrotreated Group 1 base oil plus additives to help prevent foaming, oxidation, and damage from elevated temperatures. [12] This was the first GM ATF to advertise 24,000 miles between changes.Dexron VI is of a slightly lower viscosity when new compared to the prior Dexron fluids (a maximum of 6.4 cSt at 100°C for Dexron VI and 7.5 cSt for Dexron III), but the allowed viscosity loss from shearing of the ATF during use is lower for Dexron VI, resulting in the same lowest allowed final viscosity for both Dexron III and VI (5.5 cSt) in test. [22] In reality most of the DEXRON-III fluids typically sheared to about 4.2 cSt in use. The lower, more stable viscosity improved pumping efficiency within the transmission and fluid stability over life. Since Dexron VI is not allowed to thin out (lower its viscosity) as much as Dexron III during use, it requires the use of higher-quality, more shear-stable (less prone to thinning while in use) formulations. [23] The container rear label reads "Full Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid"; however, the base oil composition is not stated. The current GM specification that defines the fluid is GMW16444, which superseded the original specification, GMN10060. Pertanyaan paling populer tentang cairan transmisi Dexron 2 dan Dexron 3 adalah apakah keduanya dapat dicampur dan apakah satu oli dapat digunakan sebagai pengganti oli lainnya. Karena karakteristik yang ditingkatkan pasti akan mempengaruhi peningkatan pengoperasian unit (apakah itu power steering atau transmisi otomatis). Pertukaran Dexron 2 dan Dexron 3 Castrol offers a wide range of ATF fluids designed to protect critical transmission components and help prolong component life. These include our premium Castrol Transmax ATF fluids formulated with Smooth Drive Technology™ to provide smoother gear changes for longer and deliver a more relaxing drive. On August 1, 2016, GM released the Dexron III (K) fluid specification (GM Spec GMW17639) as a fluid to support older GM manual transmissions and power steering systems requiring the previously discontinued Dexron-III (H) fluid.

In 1993 GM launched Dexron 3 ATF. It was a highly improved version of the Dexron 2(E), which promised better friction, high temperature, and oxidation protection, among other qualities. However, there was still much room for improvement, especially regarding long-term durability and rust prevention. Idealnya, hanya pelumas dari kelas tertentu yang harus dituangkan ke dalam transmisi otomatis, meskipun fakta bahwa dari kelas ke kelas cairan telah ada peningkatan karakteristik yang mempengaruhi durasinya. juga, Anda tidak boleh mencampur, mengamati frekuensi penggantian (jika penggantian disediakan sama sekali, karena banyak gearbox otomatis modern dirancang untuk beroperasi dengan satu cairan untuk seluruh periode operasinya, hanya dengan penambahan cairan saat terbakar) .Carry passengers and cargo within the recommended limits on the Tire and Loading Information label. Dexron is just a commercial name General Motors assigned to the ATF compatible with their vehicles’ transmissions. Let’s see something more about these ATFs’ properties and history. Dexron 2 Choosing the wrong transmission fluid is not just a minor hiccup; it’s a gamble that can cost you dearly. From erratic shifting to complete transmission failure, the consequences can be severe. According to a study, nearly 40% of transmission issues stem from using incompatible or low-quality fluids. Real-Life Nightmares: Case Studies Properties of Dexron 2 penggantian terbalik diperbolehkan, tetapi tidak diinginkan, rezim suhu operasi harus diperhitungkan. infinoil1 ATF Dex III may be used in power steering systems for the majority of cars, light commercial vehicles and tractors except where specialist fluids are recommended e.g. Honda, Mercedes-Benz, SAAB, etc.
