Description

Elf Elfmatic G3 is a Dexron III-type ATF for automatic gearboxes and hydraulic systems in passenger cars and heavy-duty vehicles.

It holds official ZF TE-ML 04D, ZF TE-ML 14A, MAN 339 Type V1, MAN 339 Type Z1, Voith H55.6335.xx, Volvo 97341 and DTFR 13C170 approvals. According to its maker, it also meets GM Dexron III-G, GM Dexron III-H, Ford MERCON and ZF TE-ML 11, without formal approval.

Typical data-sheet figures: kinematic viscosity 7.37 mm²/s at 100 °C and 34.95 mm²/s at 40 °C, viscosity index 186, pour point -45 °C, flash point 198 °C. Available in 1, 5 and 208 litre packs.

Application

Automatic gearboxes and hydraulic systems in cars and heavy-duty vehicles where the manufacturer specifies a GM Dexron III fluid.

Worth knowing

Its neighbour in the line is Elfmatic G3 Syn, and the names make the two fluids look like versions of one product. Yet they share only some of their entries: the approvals MAN 339 Type V1, Voith H55.6335.xx and ZF TE-ML 04D, and the statements on Ford MERCON and GM Dexron III-G. The rest differs. ZF TE-ML 14A, MAN 339 Type Z1, Volvo 97341 (marked AT101 in the data sheet) and DTFR 13C170 are approved here, while G3 Syn has ZF TE-ML 14B and MAN 339 Type Z2 in their place. So for an automatic whose documentation specifies 14A, Z1 or Volvo 97341, the fluid with “Syn” in its name has no approval.

The 14A class also bears on the interval: for Ecomat bus automatics on this kind of ATF, ZF prescribes a change every 30,000 km or once a year. How to read ZF TE-ML numbers and letters, and truck codes such as MAN 339 or Volvo 97341, is explained in the article on gear oil approvals.
