Test Results and Assessment:

The results of the tests conducted on this sample show a product that DOES NOT meet any recognized specification of Automatic Transmission Fluid. The Viscosity at 100⁰C is 65% lower than the minimum specified. In addition, the Viscosity Index is 22% lower than required. Further, the metal analysis results indicate the product may contain used oil and abrasive material.

Use of this product in nearly all automatic transmissions currently on the road will likely cause harm. 

The back label on this product states "It is designed for use in older model automobiles and light duty trucks requiring a 'Type A' Automatic Transmission Fluid and where economy is a major consideration." A Type A Automatic Transmission Fluid is not suitable for use in automatic transmissions manufactured after 1957. The label on this product does not provide adequate warning to consumers about this limited use.
