Description

Liqui Moly Top Tec ATF 1300 is a mineral fluid for earlier-generation automatic and manual gearboxes, power steering and auxiliary units in cars and light commercial vehicles.

The fluid holds no official approvals. The manufacturer states that it meets the requirements of Ford ESW-M2C33-F, Ford ESW-M2C33-G and Volvo 97330, and it is used precisely where these specifications apply.

Typical figures: 7.5 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 179, flash point 200 °C, pour point -33 °C. Available in 1, 20 and 205 litre packs.

Application

Earlier-generation automatic and manual gearboxes, power steering and auxiliary units in cars and light commercial vehicles where Ford ESW-M2C33-F/G or Volvo 97330 is specified.

Worth knowing

The list here is short, and the catalogue has almost no matches: Ford ESW-M2C33-F and ESW-M2C33-G appear elsewhere only in 77 Lubricants ATF Type F, and Volvo 97330 is not claimed anywhere else. No other Liqui Moly fluid in the catalogue has these codes.

Close figures do not make another can in the line a replacement. Top Tec ATF 1100 has the same 7.5 mm²/s at 100 °C, and at 40 °C and in viscosity index the difference is minimal (36 mm²/s and 180 against 37 mm²/s and 179), but these three codes are not in its list. In the cold the gap is wider: pour point -33 °C here and -48 °C for 1100, and Brookfield viscosity at -40 °C is limited to 55,000 mPa·s by this fluid’s data sheet and to 20,000 mPa·s by that of 1100.

On refilling, too, the data sheet is stricter than for 1100: it covers systems running an ATF of these specifications and forbids mixing with oils of other specifications. Why ATFs of the same viscosity are not necessarily interchangeable is explained in the article on friction, viscosity and the limits of a universal ATF.
