Purpose and Specifications

SWAG 10 93 0018 is a premium automatic transmission fluid (ATF III) designed for converter automatic transmissions in European and Japanese vehicles. This red-colored fluid maintains optimal hydraulic pressure and cooling performance inside your transmission, ensuring smooth gear shifts and protecting internal components from wear.

This 5-liter canister meets multiple manufacturer standards including Mercedes-Benz MB 236.10, Honda Z1, Ford Mercon V, and Dexron III specifications, making it compatible with a wide range of automatic transmissions across different brands.

When to Use / Replace?

Most automatic transmissions require a fluid change every 60,000 to 100,000 kilometers or 4 to 6 years, depending on your vehicle manufacturer's recommendations and driving conditions. Check your owner's manual for your specific vehicle's service interval.

You should replace your transmission fluid if you notice:

• Delayed gear engagement or hesitation during acceleration
• Transmission slipping or jerky shifting
• Burning smell from the transmission area
• Dark or discolored fluid (healthy fluid is bright red)
• Fluid leaks under your vehicle

This fluid operates effectively between -20°C and +100°C, providing reliable performance in both cold winter starts and hot driving conditions. Proper fluid maintenance extends transmission lifespan and prevents costly repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions
