Description

77 Lubricants ATF ULV Red is a synthetic ultra-low-viscosity fluid for modern six-, eight- and nine-speed automatic gearboxes in cars and for hybrid transmissions. It is the red-dyed version of ATF ULV, with the same typical figures.

It holds no official approvals; the fluid is rated JASO 1A LV and meets the requirements of Ford MERCON ULV, GM Dexron ULV, Toyota WS, VW G 053 001, G 053 001 A2 and G 060 162, BMW ATF 7, Volvo 31492172 and 31492173, PSA 16 350 560 80, Hyundai/Kia SP-IV, Honda Type 3.0 and 3.1, Mazda ATF FZ, Nissan Matic S and Aisin Warner AW-2.

Typical figures: 4.52 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 157, pour point -42 °C.

Application

Modern six-, eight- and nine-speed automatic gearboxes in cars and hybrid transmissions for which a MERCON ULV or Dexron ULV fluid is prescribed.

Worth knowing

The red colour here is not a sign of a Hyundai/Kia Red-1 fluid: that code appears on neither the first nor the second page of the data sheet. Red-1 is in the “suitable for use” list of another red fluid from the brand, 77 Lubricants ATF LV Red, but its viscosity at 100 °C is 6.0 mm²/s, and its data sheet does not contain the Ford MERCON ULV and GM Dexron ULV codes. From ATF ULV this fluid differs on paper only in the colour line (Red instead of Amber/Yellow) and the product number, 45016 instead of 45015. The specification lists match too, right down to Aisin Warner AW-2, Honda ATF Type 3.1 and VW G 053 001 A2.

The maker has put hybrid drivetrains, including Toyota THS II, Honda e:HEV and BYD DHT, in a separate “eMobility Claims” section, that is, it presents them as its own claims and not as carmaker approvals. For telling a genuine approval from a claim, see how to check an oil approval.
