SOLAR PREMIUM SERIES AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSON 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.
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.
