AMSOIL Synthetic Powershift Transmission Fluid SAE 50

Advanced Formulation for Powershift and Manual Transmissions, Wet Brakes and Final Drives

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. (Also see SAE 10W and SAE 30 Powershift Transmission Fluid)

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.
