Description

Mobil ATF SHC is a synthetic fluid in the Mobil ATF range, based on synthesised hydrocarbons, for automatic transmissions in severe service: high temperatures, heavy loads or extreme cold. It is also used in manual gearboxes designed for ATF.

The fluid holds official MB 236.8, MAN 339 Type V2, MAN 339 Type Z2 and Bosch TE-ML 09X approvals. It meets the Allison C-4, CAT TO-2, GM Dexron II-E and Renk Doromat levels without formal approval.

Typical figures: 7.4 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 200, pour point -51 °C. The fluid is compatible with mineral ATFs.

Application

Automatic transmissions in severe service (high temperatures, heavy loads, extreme cold), including units with MAN and Mercedes-Benz approvals, and manual gearboxes designed for ATF.

Worth knowing

Among the truck approvals here, the MAN types are easy to mix up. This fluid is listed under MAN 339 Type V2 and MAN 339 Type Z2, while Mobil ATF 220 is under Type V1 and Type Z1, and Mobil ATF 320 adds Type L1 to V1 and Z1. MAN’s public documents do not explain what these types mean, so check the type against the vehicle’s documentation rather than against a “similar” code on the next can along. The article on transmission fluid approvals explains how the MAN 339, ZF TE-ML and Mercedes-Benz ATF sheet codes are structured.

ExxonMobil places Allison C-4, CAT TO-2 and Renk Doromat at a quality level of its own assessment, without approval from those makers; Mobil ATF 220 lists them with the same status. Bosch TE-ML 09X, by contrast, is among the approvals, whereas Mobil ATF 320 and Mobil ATF Multi-Vehicle list Bosch TE-ML 09 without the X, and only as compliance. For low temperatures, the data sheet gives a Brookfield viscosity of 7,000 mPa·s at -40 °C, against 11,500 mPa·s for Mobil ATF Multi-Vehicle.
