Automatic Transmission Fluid
Afton automatic transmission fluid additives enable OEMs to improve vehicle designs and oil companies to improve their product portfolios.
What makes Afton® ATFs Automatically FirstTM?
Automatic transmission fluids (ATFs) are among the most complex and sophisticated of all lubricants. ATF additives are formulated using a delicate balance of componentry, and must be capable of functioning well in a variety of transmission, engine and vehicle combinations.
Afton Chemical is a global leader in ATF additives – the culmination of many years of research and development with the world’s leading OEMs. Afton leads the way in transmission additives for traditional step-type automatics and newer technologies, such as dual clutch transmissions (DCT) and continuously variable transmissions (CVT).
Afton takes a solutions-oriented approach to deliver the best choice for your project:
OEMs
Our expertise and specialized R&D resources enable us to improve hardware design for new challenges. We’ve achieved significant improvements in fuel economy combined with parts durability. And we’ve enabled breakthrough transmission technologies over recent years.
Our OEM partners are enjoying the benefits of better fuel efficiency and more reliable transmissions. They are also experiencing reduced warranty problems and improved end-user satisfaction – including friction profiles lasting longer than 200,000 km.
Oil Companies
At Afton we see transmission fluid additives as more than a means to a specification target we help oil marketers successfully differentiate their products in a competitive ATF space.
Automatic transmission usage varies around the world, and several aspects impact the service-fill fluid demand. This includes car model diversity, average age, end-user behavior (DIY, CIY, DIFM) and distribution chains. We help our customers design the most comprehensive and efficient product portfolio for a service-fill market that’s in constant change.
