Purpose and Specifications

MOTUL DEXRON 3 ATF 5L is a premium Technosynthese automatic transmission fluid designed for smooth performance in automatic gearboxes, torque converters, power steering systems, and hydraulic setups requiring DEXRON or MERCON standards. This 5-liter pack delivers superior protection with higher oxidation resistance than older DEXRON IIE fluids, keeping oil film stable up to 204°C for reliable operation under heat stress.

It flows easier at low temperatures for effortless gear shifts in cold weather down to freezing conditions, while anti-wear, anti-corrosion, and anti-foam additives extend component life and prevent damage. Ideal for everyday drivers and heavy use, it supports transmissions in cars, boats, and industrial systems.
