Purpose and Specifications

EUROLUB GEAR FLUIDE V-FE is a premium automatic transmission fluid engineered to keep your transmission running smoothly and efficiently. This red-colored fluid provides superior protection through excellent oxidation stability, meaning it resists breakdown from heat and use far longer than standard fluids. The outstanding wear and anti-friction protection properties reduce internal friction, helping your transmission shift smoothly and last longer.

Key Benefits:

• Excellent oxidation stability – resists heat breakdown during normal and demanding driving
• Outstanding wear protection – reduces friction between transmission components
• Good viscosity index – maintains proper fluid thickness in both cold starts and hot operating conditions
• Red color – easy to identify leaks and monitor fluid condition visually

When to Use and Replace?

Automatic transmission fluid breaks down over time due to heat exposure. The hotter your transmission runs, the faster the fluid degrades. Under normal driving conditions with moderate temperatures (around 95°C or 200°F), quality transmission fluid lasts approximately 100,000 kilometers. However, if your transmission regularly operates at 110°C (230°F) – common in many vehicles – fluid life drops to around 40,000 kilometers. At higher temperatures like 120°C (250°F), you should plan for changes every 15,000 kilometers.

General replacement intervals:

• Normal driving conditions: every 60,000 to 100,000 kilometers or 30 months
• Severe driving (towing, extreme heat, stop-and-go traffic): every 30,000 to 50,000 kilometers
• Always check your vehicle's owner manual for manufacturer-specific recommendations

Replace your transmission fluid immediately if it appears dark brown, smells burnt, or shows signs of contamination. Regular fluid changes are the most cost-effective way to extend transmission life and avoid expensive repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I know if my transmission fluid needs changing?
A: Check the dipstick or fluid level indicator. Healthy fluid is bright red; dark brown or black fluid with a burnt smell indicates it needs replacement. Also monitor for harsh shifting, slipping, or delayed engagement – these are signs of fluid breakdown.

Q: Does extreme heat affect how often I need to change this fluid?
A: Yes. In hot climates or during heavy towing, transmission temperatures can exceed 110°C, cutting fluid life in half compared to normal conditions. If you live in a desert climate or frequently tow, plan for more frequent changes and consider upgrading your transmission cooler.

Q: Can I use this fluid in both manual and automatic transmissions?
A: EUROLUB GEAR FLUIDE V-FE is formulated for automatic transmissions. Manual transmissions require different fluid with different friction characteristics. Always use the fluid type specified in your owner's manual.
