Which “transmission” should fill in the automatic transmission, and which – in the “robot” and the variator

For those who didn’t know, and even forgot, we remember: the transmission fluid needs to be changed over time in an automatic transmission. And regardless of the type and operating conditions of the car. But many do not and deliberately condemn the unit to sudden death. Do not pull fate by the ear and ignore such an important procedure. In what kind of “slurry” is required for a particular type of automatic transmission, the AvtoVzglyad portal found out.
As a rule, the oil change in the gearbox is done at a mileage of no more than 60,000 kilometers. The sole purpose of a lubricant in a gearbox is to reduce the friction of metal parts. Lubrication creates a protective film on rubbing parts, minimizing wear. Even a slight drop in level can cause serious failure of the node.
And no topping is needed. Better replace and forget! The main thing is to choose the right composition that optimally fits a specific type of automatic transmission. In solving this problem, it is useful to refer to the experience of well-known lubricant manufacturers who systematize the technical requirements for different types of transmissions.
Let’s take, for example, the products of the Bizol brand, which has been able to conquer the car markets of many countries for two decades. In 2014, the company was the first German oil manufacturer to receive the IAIR Innovation Award. There are products in Russia, where the company has introduced a whole range of lubricants for various types of gearboxes. Let’s get to know them better.
For hydromechanical units
So for a torque converter or, more simply, a classic “automatic”, Bizol Protect produces ATF DIII + universal transmission oil. This original lubricant, saturated with a unique composition of additives, has high protective properties, especially in the event of sudden temperature changes.
During operation, it provides smooth shifting, leveling shocks and unit overheating. Among the patented features that distinguish this product from analogues, experts note the optimal friction characteristics, which provide reliable and long-lasting operation of the “machine”.
For both “automatic” and “mechanics”
Another popular automatic transmission oil designed to protect against wear and corrosion is Bizol Protect ATF D-VI. Lubricant, based on synthesis technology and supplemented with a special additive package, eliminates foaming and gives transmission units increased wear resistance. In addition, the Bizol oil line includes the product Allround ATF D-VI. It, as noted by the developers, can be successfully used for manual transmissions.
What is needed for the variator
German technologists did not ignore the options for continuously variable transmissions. A significant part of it is practically irreparable and at the same time very erratic in use. The variator does not like to slip and a permanently sunken throttle on the floor.
Therefore, he needs a special oil, and even complete with an original set of additives. For example in the Bizol Protect ATF CVT fluid, which will reliably protect the unit against foaming, oxidation and premature failure.
For robot transmission:
No less, if not more, erratic gearboxes are considered “robots”, which are afraid of overheating and often irritate with “kicks” when shifting. Most often, sores appear when driving in traffic jams and aggressive driving. Therefore, pre-lubricating in a preselective transmission is a must.
It is for such dual clutch units that Bizol Protect ATF DCT is created. The product has been developed on the basis of the latest HC technologies using a special combination of additives. As a result, stable frictional properties (also in extreme operating conditions), the absence of twitching and high thermal stability of operating parameters.
