Purpose and Specifications

Keep your automatic transmission shifting smoothly with Total Fluidmatic D3 1L, a premium ATF oil that delivers reliable protection for cars, trucks, and heavy-duty vehicles. This high-quality fluid excels in extreme conditions, staying fluid down to -45°C for easy cold starts without surges and maintaining stability up to high operating temperatures around 150-200°C to prevent overheating.

Its advanced formula offers outstanding thermal stability, excellent anti-wear protection, and controlled friction for precise gear changes without slipping or jerking. Approved for major specs like GM Dexron III, Ford Mercon, Allison C4, ZF TE-ML, and Mercedes MB approvals, it fights corrosion, foam, and oxidation to extend transmission life.

When to Use / Replace?

• Use in automatic transmissions, power steering, and hydraulic systems requiring Dexron III or equivalent fluids – perfect for passenger cars and heavy-duty applications.
• Replace every 40,000-60,000 km or 2-3 years under normal driving; more often (every 20,000-30,000 km) for towing, city traffic, or severe conditions to avoid costly repairs.
• Shelf life is typically 3-5 years unopened in cool, dry storage.
