Description

77 Lubricants ATF ULV is a synthetic ultra-low-viscosity fluid from the ATF line for modern six-, eight- and nine-speed automatic gearboxes in cars. Hybrid transmissions also appear on the application list, including Toyota THS II and Honda e:HEV.

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, Hyundai/Kia SP-IV, Honda ATF Type 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 several hybrid transmissions for which a MERCON ULV or Dexron ULV fluid is prescribed.

Worth knowing

Ford MERCON ULV and GM Dexron ULV, stated here on the first page of the data sheet, do not appear in the lists of the thicker 77 Lubricants ATF LV, whose viscosity at 100 °C is 6.0 mm²/s against 4.52 mm²/s. So for a gearbox that calls for one of the ULV specifications, its line neighbour does not qualify by its own data sheet. The restriction works the other way too: Ford does not allow MERCON ULV fluid where MERCON V or MERCON LV is prescribed, and the article on universal ATF cites Ford’s position that MERCON V, LV and ULV do not replace one another.

Only some of the codes sit under the word “exceeds” on the first page: Aisin Warner AW-2, PSA 16 350 560 80, VW G 053 001 and G 053 001 A2, Volvo 31492172 and 31492173, BMW ATF 7 and both ULV specifications. Toyota WS, Hyundai/Kia SP-IV, Honda Type 3.0, Mazda ATF FZ, Nissan Matic S and VW G 060 162 appear only on the second page, among the “suitable for use” applications.
