Description

77 Lubricants ATF DX II is a semi-synthetic fluid from the ATF line for automatic gearboxes, torque converters and power steering systems. According to the maker, it is blended from re-refined mineral and synthetic base oils.

It holds no official approvals; the maker states that it meets the requirements of GM Dexron II-D, GM 1940700 and GM TASA, Ford MERCON, Ford ESP-M2C166-H, Ford WSS-M2C166-H, Ford WSS-M2C138-CJ, Ford XL-12, XT-2-QDX and XT-2-QSM, Allison C-3 and C-4, CAT TO-2, Mazda ATF D-II, Toyota ATF D-II, Renault Matic D2, Volvo 97325 and Volvo CE 97340, and ZF TE-ML 03D, 04D, 05L, 09, 14A, 17C and 21L.

Typical figures: 7.1 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 180, pour point -48 °C.

Application

Automatic gearboxes, torque converters and power steering systems in cars, vans and commercial vehicles that call for a Dexron II-level fluid.

Worth knowing

Four ZF codes in this list, 03D, 04D, 14A and 17C, are ATF classes from the lists for construction and special-purpose machinery gearboxes, marine gearboxes, Ecomat bus automatics and forklift trucks. Three more, 05L, 09 and 21L, are taken from the lists for construction machinery axles, steering gears and tractor axles, and ZF no longer keeps list 09: it is now a Bosch list. In an Ecomat a class 14A fluid is changed every 30,000 km or every year. All these codes, like Allison C-3 and C-4, are presented in the data sheet as the fluid maker’s statement, whereas a ZF-approved fluid has its own number in the list. Reading the TE-ML numbers and letters is the subject of the article on ZF TE-ML approvals for gear oils.

The same four ZF ATF classes are named for the fully synthetic ATF MV of this range too, whose list adds 14B but lacks 05L, 09 and 21L. Class 14B appears neither in the DX II entry nor in its data sheet, so for a unit whose documentation calls for exactly that class, this fluid claims no compliance.
