Description

Fuchs TITAN ATF 4000 is a Dexron III-H fluid for automatic gearboxes in cars and commercial vehicles. According to the maker, it gives better cold-weather shifting than fluids of the previous generation.

Official approvals: MB 236.93, DTFR 13C100, DTFR 13C170, MAN 339 Type L1, V1 and Z1, Voith H55.6335.xx, Volvo 97341, and ZF TE-ML 03D, 04D and 14A. Without formal approval it meets GM Dexron III-H, MB 236.1 and 236.9, Allison C-4 and TES 389, Ford MERCON, CAT TO-2, Opel 19 40 707 and 19 40 767, Volvo 97340, VW TL 52162, ZF TE-ML 02F, 09, 11B and 17C, and seven BMW fluid part numbers.

Typical figures: 7.6 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 174, pour point -50 °C.

Application

Automatic gearboxes and other units in cars and commercial vehicles that call for a Dexron III-H fluid or one of the listed approvals.

Worth knowing

The sub-heading of this fluid’s data sheet reads “Licensed according to DEXRON III (H)”, although in the code list itself DEXRON III (H) sits among Fuchs’s recommendations, and the catalogue records GM Dexron III-H as “meets”. GM no longer issues DEXRON-III licences, and the article why DEXRON-III on a can is not a licence shows that such a line remains the fluid maker’s statement. The data sheet also notes that for GM units, backward compatibility with earlier DEXRON specifications is permitted.

There is a subtlety with the Mercedes-Benz sheets too. Number 236.1 appears in the 4000 data sheet only in brackets beside DTFR 13C100, and 236.9 among the recommendations, although the fluid holds approvals to their DTFR counterparts, 13C100 and 13C170. A separate “MB-APPROVAL 236.1” line appears in the data sheet of its neighbour TITAN ATF 3000, and it is that fluid the catalogue credits with the line’s official approval to this sheet.
