Labeling

Flash Point of a DEXRON III/MERCON Fluid in °C (ASTM D92) The results of the Flash Point test conducted on this sample meet the requirements of Dexron III/Mercon.	FusionCharts XT will load here!
Viscosity @ 100°C, cSt (ASTM D445) The results of the Kinematic Viscosity @ 100ºC test conducted on this sample meet the requirements of Dexron III/Mercon.	FusionCharts XT will load here!
Brookfield Viscosity @-40°C mPa s (cP) The results of the Brookfield viscosity test conducted on this sample meet the requirements of Dexron III/Mercon.	FusionCharts XT will load here!

Note¹: Although laboratory tests alone cannot be used to establish if engine oil meets an API Service Category, they can be used to determine if it doesn't. Note²: The specifications for flash point and viscosity @ 100°C include only minimum values; the maximum values shown in the “standard” area of the chart are truncated for illustrative purposes.
