Description
Product Description
FUCHS TITAN ATF D-III is a high-performance automatic transmission fluid (ATF) specially developed for automatic transmissions, torque converter transmissions, power steering systems, hydraulic systems, passenger cars, commercial vehicles, buses, construction equipment, agricultural machinery, and off-highway equipment requiring a DEXRON® III or FORD MERCON® performance level. Formulated with premium mineral base oils and advanced additive technology, it provides smooth gear shifting, excellent anti-wear protection, outstanding oxidation stability, reliable low-temperature performance, and long service life. It is specifically designed to meet the performance requirements of GM and Ford automatic transmissions and is not suitable for applications requiring DEXRON® VI.
Features and Benefits
Smooth and Reliable Gear Shifting
Optimised friction characteristics provide smooth, consistent and comfortable gear changes throughout the service interval.
Excellent Wear Protection
Advanced anti-wear additives protect gears, bearings, pumps, valves and clutch materials, extending transmission life.
Outstanding Oxidation Stability
Resists oxidation, sludge formation and viscosity increase, providing extended fluid life under severe operating conditions.
Excellent Low Temperature Performance
Provides rapid oil circulation and smooth shifting during cold starts while maintaining film strength at elevated temperatures.
Excellent Foam Control
Minimises foam formation and ensures reliable hydraulic performance and lubrication.
Corrosion and Rust Protection
Protects transmission components against corrosion and rust during long-term service.
