Description

Elf Renaultmatic D3 Syn is a fluid, synthetic according to its maker, for the Renault DP0 automatic gearbox fitted to some Renault passenger cars. Its friction properties are tailored to the clutch, brake and torque-converter lock-up linings of this gearbox.

The fluid holds a Renault approval for the DP0 gearbox. It is not intended for first-generation Renault automatic gearboxes (MB, AD4, AR4, AD8).

Its additives protect against wear, corrosion and foaming. Typical figures: 7.35 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 187, pour point -54 °C. Available in 1 litre packs.

Application

The DP0 automatic gearbox fitted to some Renault cars; not for first-generation Renault automatics (MB, AD4, AR4, AD8).

Worth knowing

Every typical figure for this fluid, from the 854 kg/m³ density and viscosity at 40 °C to the flash point, matches the Elfmatic G3 Syn data sheet to the digit. Their approvals, though, have nothing in common: only this fluid holds the Renault DP0 gearbox approval, while G3 Syn is approved to ZF TE-ML 04D, ZF TE-ML 14B, MAN 339 Type V1, MAN 339 Type Z2 and Voith H55.6335.xx and gives no Renault code. Renaultmatic D2 from the same line lacks the DP0 approval too. Elf’s data sheet states plainly that the characteristics listed are not a specification, so identical tables are no proof of interchangeability; the article on the typical figures in an oil data sheet explains what the maker actually guarantees.
