Transmission Fluid Specifications: Can you trust the Labels?

There are laws in the USA to prevent mislabeled and misleading labeling of automatic transmission fluid and many other products. That does not stop some producers from pushing the limits of ethical packaging labels. Learn the difference between an officially licensed fluid and one that claims to be "suitable for use" in your vehicle. Learn what to look for when making a decision of which transmission fluid to purchase.

This video is part 12 of a 13 part video series for students of online college class ATTC 4860 Automotive Standards, Laws, and Regulations at Weber State University in Ogden, Utah. It is also used as part of the AUSV 2520 Automatic Transmissions class. This video was created and edited by Professor John D. Kelly at WSU. For a full biography, see http://www.weber.edu/automotive/J_Kel... QUESTIONS FOR TEACHERS: 1. Which vehicle manufacturer produced the world's first automatic transmission fluid specification? 2. What were people using for automatic transmission fluid instead of the specified fluid in the early days of the automatic transmission? 3. How many different automatic transmission fluid specifications have been developed by General Motors? (As documented on the Dexron ATF Wikipedia page) 4. How many actual test requirements are shown on the Dexron HP fluid specification sheet in the video 5. What potentially misleading terminology is used on the front label of the Castrol Import Multi-Vehicle automatic transmission fluid 6. What is the only officially licensed ATF listed on the rear label of Castrol Import Multi-Vehicle automatic transmission fluid container 7. When ATF is "Recommended for Use" in transmission requiring certain fluid specifications, does it mean that it has been approved by the vehicle manufacturer and licensed to meet all of their specifications? 8. When the label on the container of ATF asserts that the fluid is "Suitable for use" in transmissions requiring certain fluid specifications, does it mean that it has been approved by the vehicle manufacturer and licensed to meet all of their specifications? 9. When the label on the container of ATF asserts that the fluid "Meets or Exceeds the Requirements" of certain transmission fluid specifications, does it mean that it has been approved by the vehicle manufacturer and licensed to meet all of their specifications? 10. At time stamp 43.30 in the video when discussing the Afton Chemical additive packages available, what does "Suitable for Use" indicate on their data sheet? 11. True or False: NIST not only makes regulations about accurate labeling and documentation of claims on the labels, but it also enforces the accurate measurements of the volume of fluid in a container.
