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 unmatched 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 nonmetallic friction materials. Their stable
frictional characteristics 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. The superior shear stability of Powershift Transmission
Fluids allows them 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.
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.

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.
