Description

Liqui Moly Top Tec ATF 1400 is a synthetic fluid solely for CVTs with a steel belt or chain, not a conventional fluid for stepped automatics. Its formulation emphasises foam control.

It holds no official approvals. The manufacturer states that it meets Nissan NS-2, Nissan NS-3, Toyota CVTF FE, Toyota TC, Honda HCF-2, Honda HMMF, Subaru Lineartronic CVTF, Subaru Lineartronic CVTF II, Mitsubishi CVTF-J1, Mitsubishi CVTF-J4, Hyundai/Kia SP-CVT 1, Ford MERCON C, GM/Saturn DEX-CVT, Jeep CVTF+4, Suzuki CVT Fluid Green 2, VW G 052 180, VW G 052 516 and MB 236.20.

Typical figures: viscosity 7.2 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 185, pour point -45 °C. Pack sizes from 1 to 205 litres.

Application

Continuously variable transmissions (CVT) with a steel push belt or chain, such as Audi Multitronic, Autotronic in the Mercedes-Benz A- and B-Class, and many Asian CVTs.

Worth knowing

All 33 codes listed for this fluid are Liqui Moly recommendations: the data sheet presents them as specifications and original part numbers for which the maker recommends it, and has no approvals section. They are mostly carmakers’ own fluids or their part numbers, so Nissan NS-2 and NS-3, Honda HCF-2 and HMMF or VW G 052 180 and G 052 516 appear as separate entries; who answers for each line of such a list is worked through using ATF as the example. One Nissan Qashqai manual prescribes only the original NS3 and warns that any other fluid will damage the Xtronic gearbox, and the warranty does not cover such damage. No fluid on the Nissan NS-3 page has this code recorded as an approval.

Another Liqui Moly fluid cannot replace it by code: none of these 33 codes is repeated in the catalogue entries of the brand’s other products. Close figures suggest nothing here either. Top Tec ATF 1100 G has 7.4 mm²/s at 100 °C against 7.2 here and the same pour point of -45 °C, yet they have no code in common.
