SOLAR Premium Series Automatic Transmission Fluid DEXRON VI/MERCON LV
Description
SOLAR ATF DEXRON VI is a high performance, fully synthetic automatic transmission fluid engineered for the latest generation of automatic transmissions. It delivers enhanced friction durability, improved oxidative stability, and superior low-temperature performance. Designed for longer drain intervals and greater fuel efficiency, it is backward compatible with earlier DEXRON specifications while exceeding the stringent requirements of DEXRON VI.
Available API
DEX VI
Applications
- All vehicles requiring DEXRON VI, and backward-compatible for use where DEXRON III or II are specified.
- Suitable for use in modern 6-speed and 8-speed automatic transmissions.
- Also compatible with many modern Asian, European, and American ATF applications that require low viscosity and high performance.
- Hydraulic systems, power steering systems, and select transfer cases where a DEXRON VI or equivalent fluid is recommended.
Features & Benefits
- Meets and Exceeds DEXRON VI Requirements – Ensures optimum performance in newer GM transmissions.
- Excellent Low-Temperature Fluidity– Smooth shifting in cold climates.
- Stable High-Temperature Performance (210°C Flash Point) – Reduces oxidation and extends fluid life.
- Consistent Viscosity – Maintains fluid performance across a wide operating temperature range.
- Red, Bright & Clear Appearance – Easy identification and maintenance checks.
- Enhanced Friction Stability – Reduces shudder, ensures smoother shifting, and prolongs clutch life.
- Anti-Wear and Anti-Foam Additives – Protects transmission parts and maintains hydraulic performance.
- Extended Drain Capability – Designed for longer service intervals and lower total operating cost.
Recommended For
- GM vehicles with 6L80, 6L90, 8L90, and other transmission types requiring DEXRON VI.
- OEM applications requiring low-viscosity ATF with enhanced durability.
- Suitable for commercial fleets, high-load conditions, and severe service environments.
