Description

Eni Rotra ATF VI is a synthetic fluid from the Rotra ATF line for automatic gearboxes in cars and trucks. It has a reduced viscosity, resists foaming and damps shudder when the torque converter locks up.

The fluid carries no official approvals. According to its maker, it meets the requirements of GM Dexron VI, Ford MERCON LV and JASO 1A, and is backward compatible with gearboxes and power-steering systems specified for earlier generations of Dexron fluids.

Typical figures: viscosity 5.7 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 150, pour point -54 °C, flash point 180 °C, density 850 kg/m³ and low-temperature viscosity 10,400 mPa·s at -40 °C.

Application

Automatic gearboxes in cars and trucks that require a Dexron VI fluid, as well as units and power-steering systems designed for earlier generations of that specification.

Worth knowing

The owners of the names GM Dexron VI and Ford MERCON LV issue licences for them, and a licensed fluid’s data sheet shows a number next to the name. In Eni’s data sheet both names are given without a number, so the catalogue records them as compliance, not as a licence. Which Dexron and MERCON names are still licensed, and how to tell a licence from a mere claim, are questions taken up in the article on the Dexron, MERCON and T-IV lists on ATF cans.

In the Rotra ATF line this fluid is thinner than any other: 5.7 mm²/s at 100 °C against 7.5 for Rotra ATF Multi and 7.2 for Rotra ATF III. There is one more subtlety with the Ford names: MERCON LV and MERCON V are different fluids, and Ford itself says LV must not be used where V is required. MERCON V is named in the line only for Rotra ATF Multi, and there too only as compliance. Of the GM specifications, Multi and III have only Dexron III-H, and neither claims Dexron VI.
