When did Ford make ATF?
Ford first produced its own ATF in 1967 and referred to as Type F. The name comes from Ford’s specification number for the fluid, ESW M2C33-F. This fluid was used in all Ford transmissions until 1977 and most Ford transmissions until 1980. In the late ’80s, we saw the introduction of Dexron-III/Mercon.
What is ATF fluid?
ATF can be divided into two main types: petroleum (also called traditional) and synthetic. The former is based on natural oils while the latter is based on synthetic polymers. Just as an aside, most new vehicles run a synthetic ATF, and if I were to venture a guess, many classic cars still continue to use a petroleum-based fluid.
How is viscosity measured in ATF?
The viscosity of any ATF is measured by Kinematic Viscosity, which is a measure of a fluid’s internal resistance to flow under gravitational forces. It is determined by measuring the time in seconds, that is required for a fixed volume of fluid to flow a known distance (by gravity) through a capillary within a calibrated viscometer at a closely controlled temperature.
What is a 30 pound super duty?
ATI’s 30-weight Max Duty Super F is for large displacement, turbocharged, or very high horsepower engines — including off-road and monster trucks. It features heavier viscosity for less thermal break down, cooler temps, and better converter lock-up over ATI’s 20 weight Super F. Recommended for use in GM Powerglide, Turbo 350 and 400, Chrysler Torqueflite 727 and 904, Ford’s C4, C6, and other non-electronic transmissions.
Why is Type F fluid used?
The reason I ask is, Type-F fluid is formulated with a reduced friction modifier package with the goal to create quick clutch engagement and reduce clutch slippage. If that sounds like it will make the transmission perform better, that is because it does.
What is inside an automatic transmission?
The inside of an automatic transmission is filled with clutch plates and friction discs that come together or separate to move the required planetary gears, creating a moving force to the required gear.
Is a vapor compressible in ATF?
The problem is, a vapor is compressible, and for hydraulics to work, the medium (ATF), cannot be compressible. Since synthetic oils will tolerate much higher temperatures than traditional oils, the higher temperature range of synthetics gives it better hydraulic function at those high temperatures. At very low temperatures (i.e, winter in Pennsylvania), petroleum oils are similar to pudding where synthetics are less viscous.
What vehicles use F or FA?
Also - many Toyota's, Mazda, Saab, Volvo and other Japanese and European vehicles used F or FA.
What is type F trans oil?
Type F trans oil is simply a low viscosity hydraulic oil with a specific additive package to reduce foaming and provide high detergent properties that meets the spec set out by Ford last in 1967.
What fluids are available for CVT?
there are Dexron II, III, Mercon III, V and VI, and CVT's WS fluids available on the market here.
What is the additive used in rear axles?
It is not commonly known in many circles but the original posi trac additive used in rear axles is an extract of fish oils, normally called a friction modifier on the bottle.
Is Mercon III a type F?
over the web I have found several mentions about Mercon III being an improved type F and that it can be used in the C4.
Is GM friction modifier synthetic?
Yes, the old school GM friction modifiers used to be made from whale oil. For obvious reasons todays GM friction modifier is synthetic. These modifiers usually dont smell very nice.
Is Mercon V interchangeable with ATF?
I've been told that, but as fussy as most Ford auto transmission are with ATF, I am reluctant to recommend especially when the Exxon/Mobil web site appears to specifically exclude F/FA, but mentioning Mercon V which is not interchangeable.
What is the difference between type F and type F?
The basic difference is that type F contains no friction modifiers, while all others do in varying amounts. Toyota also used type F until the early 1980's. Our 1981 Toyota had the fluid changed and the shop used Dexron by mistake. It slipped badly.
When did Ford switch to Dexron?
1977 was the year Ford switched from "F" to Dexron/mercon in transmissions. I have seen power steering caps on later Fords that said to use "F" fluid.
