Description

Elf Elfmatic J6 is a fluid from the Elfmatic line for electronically controlled automatic gearboxes with a torque-converter lock-up clutch. It is also suitable for newer Japanese automatic gearboxes.

The fluid holds an official Nissan Matic J approval; its maker also states approval for the AJ0 and AJ8 gearboxes in Renault cars.

It provides smooth shifting in frosty weather, protection against wear and scuffing, and thermal and oxidation stability over the life of the gearbox. Typical figures: 7.4 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 183. Available in 1 litre packs.

Application

Electronically controlled automatic gearboxes with a lock-up clutch, including Nissan units specifying Matic-J and the AJ0 and AJ8 gearboxes in Renault cars; also newer Japanese automatic gearboxes.

Worth knowing

The Nissan Matic J approval is rare in the catalogue: of the 20 fluids from ten brands on the Nissan Matic J page, only Elfmatic J6 holds it, and the other 19 stop at a statement of compliance. Why Japanese names such as Matic J are the names of carmakers’ own fluids rather than quality classes, and why behind such a line on a universal can there is usually only the fluid maker’s word, is explained in the article on universal ATF and what a list of twenty specifications means.

No other Elfmatic fluid carries the Matic J code, so none of them can stand in for it here. G3 and G3 Syn state compliance with Ford MERCON and GM Dexron III-G and hold ZF TE-ML, MAN 339 and Voith approvals; DVI MV states GM Dexron VI and Ford MERCON LV. DCT-1 is approved to Ford WSS-M2C218-A2 and MB 239.22, Elfmatic CVT to Renault CVT-CK, CVT-DK and CVT-FK. Renaultmatic D2 from another line states only GM Dexron II-D, without a single Renault or Nissan code.
