BP Autran JS
JASO 1A fluid for automatic gearboxes in Japanese cars and Hyundai/Kia, meeting Toyota T-IV/WS, Nissan Matic, Honda DW-1 and Mitsubishi SP.
The car maker has not officially approved the entries in the “Meets the requirements of” row.
Description
BP Autran JS is an Autran fluid for conventional automatic gearboxes in Japanese cars, Hyundai and Kia; its friction properties prevent clutch shudder over time.
Rated JASO 1A, it holds no official approvals; the maker states that it meets Aisin Warner JWS 3309, Daihatsu AMMIX ATF D-III Multi/D3-SP, Honda/Acura DW-1/Z-1, Hyundai/Kia SP III/SP IV, Isuzu, Mazda ATF M-III/M-V/JWS 3317/FZ, Mitsubishi SP II/IIM/III/PA/J3/SP IV, Nissan Matic D/J/S, Subaru F6/Red 1, Suzuki AT Oil 5D06/2384K/JWS 3314/JWS 3317 and Toyota T/T-II/T-III/T-IV/WS.
Typical figures: 6.9 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 150, pour point -48 °C.
Application
Conventional automatic gearboxes in most Japanese cars, as well as Hyundai and Kia, that need a fluid with JASO 1A-level friction properties.
Worth knowing
Thirty-one codes from Japanese and Korean carmakers and from Aisin Warner appear in this fluid’s data sheet under a single wording: “Recommended for use where … is required”. That is the fluid maker’s advice, not an approval from Toyota, Nissan or Hyundai: on the Toyota WS page, none of the 16 fluids has this name as an approval. Next to WS the list also includes Toyota T-IV, although in a service bulletin Toyota calls WS incompatible with both T-IV and Dexron. The article on universal ATF and the carmaker fluid names on the can quotes this bulletin and explains why T-IV or Matic J are fluid names, not quality classes.
Of the five Autran fluids, only JS has the JASO 1A class and the Japanese codes, and the data sheet mentions Isuzu separately, for cars where Toyota T-IV is prescribed. This fluid claims no Dexron or MERCON at all, unlike Dex/Merc, DX II and MBX. Its viscosity at 100 °C is 6.9 mm²/s, lower than that of DX II, Dex/Merc and Syn 295 (7.29 to 7.4 mm²/s).
