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.

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.
