HEAVY DUTY ATF OILS
Valvoline Heavy Duty ATF Automatic Transmission fluids are made to meet the requirements of the most demanding applications. As full synthetic fluids, ATF oils are specially created for automatic gearboxes of HD vehicles to secure their high performance over a wide range of temperatures and working conditions.
These modern automatic transmission fluids are formulated with premium base oils and state-of-the-art additive technologies to offer extended protection, and are particularly suitable for long drain intervals.
Valvoline recommends heavy-duty ATF fluids for use in a wide range of heavy-duty vehicle makes and models with automatic transmission. Moreover, some of the ATF products are approved by some of the leading HD engine manufacturers as they meet the requirements of today’s technologically sophisticated heavy-duty automatic transmissions.

Valvoline ATF heavy-duty transmission lubricants improve automatic transmission service life thanks to its formulation that consists of synthetic base oils and long-life additives. In addition, the modern additives that are a part of its formula protect the gearbox against corrosion, oxidation, foaming, and formation of deposits.
Not only do heavy-duty ATF fluids provide improved protection against wear and tear under high-stress working conditions, but they also resist aging and have good thermal stability.
They have outstanding friction properties for smoother shifting making them suitable for automatic gearboxes of heavy-duty vehicles.
Valvoline offers two types of heavy-duty automatic transmission fluids:
The Heavy Duty ATF PRO range is officially OEM approved and designed for use by true professionals to ensure high performance and protection in modern, in-warranty, automatic transmissions of trucks, buses, and other vehicles.*
The conventional Heavy Duty ATF fluids are best recommended for use in multi-vehicle/multi-brand operations when trucks, buses, and other vehicles have run out of warranty and no longer require an officially approved (and more expensive) driveline lubricant.
Valvoline HD ATF oils can be used in some hand-shifted transmissions and are sometimes recommended as hydraulic oil in earthmoving machines or hydraulic lifting equipment and as power steering fluid.*
