Shell Spirax Automatic And Manual Transmission Fuids
Every part of your vehicle has been meticulously engineered, so you want to be sure that you choose lubricants that have been designed to ensure your transmissions and gears are well protected and work efficiently. Shell has spent recent decades developing, testing and refining transmission fluids to meet the needs of thousands of car models.
Why are automatic transmission fluids so important?
If you drive a car with an automatic gearbox, then your automatic transmission fluid (ATF) will arguably be one of the most important consumables inside your vehicle alongside engine oil and coolant. That’s because, from the moment you start the ignition, your ATF takes on a number of critical roles, including:
- Protecting against wear to avoid the likelihood of corrosion or transmission failure
- Removing heat caused by friction, keeping the transmission unit cool and efficient
- Lubricating critical parts of your transmission system, ensuring gear changes are seamless and smooth
As a result, ATFs can also be one of the most complex lubricants you’ll ever use in your vehicle. And when you factor in all the different transmission components and materials ATFs must be compatible with, alongside their need to guarantee consistent performance across a range of temperature extremes, it’s a choice you can’t afford to get wrong.
