ATF Type F was Fords old spec because thay wanted a smoother shift. The friction modifiers come into play to control the slipperiness of the clutches and bands in automatics.
It doesn't make a bit if difference in our standard gearbox. abrasively wearing away at the gears, bearings and seals. They recommend running it forever with contamination, wear particules etc. people that say never to change the fluid. number on it.?īear in mind that these are the same smart tech. What better way to sell a $38 liter of oil, when you can buy ATF for $3, than to put some fancy spec. Edited Januby FlossyTheSmartĭon't get to carried away with MB specs, etc. I also have two oil samples back which are trending with no particularly unusual results that I can tell. (Time to buy jacks I guess.) Feel free to see the results attached. I'm not concerned in the meantime, because with the readings I got back from Finning today on the tranny fluid - I will be checking things a couple more times and changing the fluid again. And yes, try finding GL4 gear oil - not even a Suzuki dealer has any! Who knows. It has been suggested to me that the synthetic GL5 gear oils are too slippery, and have led to synchro wear over the longer term. I only bring this up because Suzuki right up until today is specing GL4 gear oil for the transmission and t-cases in their vehicles. This might mean additional wear in the long term - if the Dexron III is 'too slippery'. I'm going out on a limb here, and suggesting that perhaps the specification of Dexron II that is in our Getrag has some friction modifiers in it that are different to those found in the Dexron III.
