Worth knowing

What sets this fluid apart from Top Tec ATF 1800 in the data sheets is the colour: it is red and the other is brown. Both have the same code list, and they share viscosity index 155, flash point 210 °C and the Brookfield limit of 15,000 mPa·s at -40 °C.

Red says nothing about approval. Top Tec ATF 1600 is also red, according to its data sheet, but it holds MB 236.14 as an approval, whereas here that sheet is a Liqui Moly recommendation, like all the other codes. Viscosity at 100 °C differs too: 6.45 mm²/s against 5.7, and the only codes these two fluids share are MB 236.12 and MB 236.14. If the vehicle documentation demands a fluid approved to sheet 236.14, the entry in Top Tec ATF 1800 R does not meet that requirement: an approval is checked in the list of whoever issued it, not by the wording on the can.
