Worth knowing

The Allison approval here can be checked by number: in Allison’s public list of TES 295 and TES 468 fluids, BP Autran Syn 295 appears under number AN-031002. At the same time, Allison itself advises anyone using TES 295 or TES 468 fluids to consider the newer TES 668 specification at the next service, and this fluid’s entry does not list it. The Allison TES 295 page has seven fluids, and an official approval is recorded for four of them.

The BP data sheet exists in two editions: the earlier one has no ZF TE-ML 25C among the ZF classes, the newer one adds it, and both give the same typical figures. ZF list 20 covers EcoLife automatics and list 16 rail-vehicle gearboxes, and among the Autran fluids only Syn 295 has the classes ZF TE-ML 20C, 16M and 16S. A table of all the ZF lists and the meaning of the letters after the number is in the article on ZF TE-ML approvals.
