Description

Liqui Moly Top Tec ATF 1700 is a fully synthetic long-life fluid, mainly for automatic gearboxes in vans and lorries. It is also used in retarders, axle-lift mechanisms and some hydraulic systems.

Official approvals: Allison C-4, MAN 339 Type V2, MAN 339 Type Z12, Voith H55.6336.xx, ZF TE-ML 16S, ZF TE-ML 20C and ZF TE-ML 25C (number ZF006000). The fluid meets the requirements of MB 236.81, MAN 339 Type Z3 and ZF TE-ML 03D, 04D, 14C, 16M and 17C without formal approval.

Typical figures: 7.6 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 177, pour point -48 °C. Available in 1, 20 and 205 litre packs.

Application

Automatic gearboxes in vans and lorries of various makes, as well as retarders, axle-lift mechanisms and some hydraulic systems where this specification applies.

Worth knowing

The number ZF006000 is assigned to classes 20C, 16S and 25C, and each has its own limits. In TE-ML 20, class 20C suits EcoLife gearboxes only under the TE-ML 20.100 and 20.105 classifications in the vehicle manual, while for TE-ML 20.110 ZF allows only 20F and 20G. In the rail TE-ML 16, class 16S is recorded only for EcoLifeRail; EcoLifeRail 2 and EcoWorld need 16N or 16Q there. TE-ML 25 allows 25C in EcoLife Offroad, but for PowerLine Offroad and DynamicPerform leaves only 25G. The class also sets the change interval in the ZF lists: for city buses and trucks with EcoLife under TE-ML 20.100, class 20C gives 120,000 km or two years, and 20F and 20G twice as much.

ZF TE-ML 03D, 04D and 17C, like 14C for Ecomat automatics, are only Liqui Moly recommendations here. The first three are recorded as approved in Top Tec ATF 1100 under the number ZF004926, but it has no classes 16S, 20C or 25C. Allison C-4 there, as in the rest of the Top Tec ATF fluids that list it, is only “meets”, so this is the only fluid in the line with an approval for it.
