Description
Aral Getriebeoel ATF LD is a fluid for automatic transmissions. Aral lists it in its index of technical documents, but only a safety data sheet is available, and it classes the product as a gear oil; the manufacturer publishes no current list of classifications, approvals or specifications.
Typical figures from the safety data sheet: kinematic viscosity 7.5 mm²/s at 100 °C and 37.8 mm²/s at 40 °C, pour point -66 °C, flash point above 220 °C. Without a list of approvals, suitability for a given transmission should be checked against its manufacturer's requirements.
Application
Automatic transmissions; the safety data sheet classes the product as a gear oil and Aral gives no list of specifications, so suitability should be checked against the transmission manufacturer's requirements.
Worth knowing
Of the two fluids in the Getriebeoel ATF line, only Aral Getriebeoel ATF M 14 has a technical data sheet with a code on it: the MB 236.14 approval. The safety data sheets also describe the LD’s purpose more loosely than its sibling’s: “transmission oil” rather than “oil for automatic transmissions”. The LD is thicker too, at 7.5 mm²/s at 100 °C against 6.3. What to do when an approval cannot be confirmed from public sources is explained in the article on how to check an oil approval.
