Overlooked Bargains – Original Equipment Automatic Transmission Fluids

As our business grows there are a dozen top sellers we have to constantly increase inventory and that list fortunately is for the most part the high end of the AMSOIL multi-tier lines.

But the OE line is really undersold. It’s purpose was to upgrade customers from the typical transmission fluid brands to AMSOIL but in the lower price class of the OEM replacements or “non-enthusiast car” class. So basically you get the best product in its class.

Original Equipment Automatic Transmission Fluids!

Amsoil OE Automatic Transmission Fluid

Case of 2-2.5 Gallon Jugs for more savings. Case Discounts.

The OE ATF’s offer the top grade synthetic base stock with additives adjusted to the best price/value available.

An analogy would be – if each additive available had a range of 80 quality levels, 1 being the absolute cheapest and questionable and 80 being the absolute best but expensive, where do these stand? From various lectures I’ve learned the top brand names you recognize which score better than your OEM brands would be 25-40 here. AMSOIL’s Signature Series is always without compromise so it’s always going to be the #80..

A level of Protection your Transmission Needs

But not everyone needs this in their daily driver or perhaps a medium duty truck. The  Signature Series was designed to handle the absolute highest level of abuse, loads and performance demands. The OE is scaled down to deliver on a price but using premium quality additive technology. These are just below Signature series always in the 50-70 range.

You can prove the above yourself when your results align with the customer reviews noticing improved or smoother shifting, no more of the known shudder so many transmissions have, or more importantly, longer life. The OE excels in reduced temperatures, varnish and sludging over time. Very similar to the Signature version. So it’s amazing what you can get for a lower price!

Covers most all of the popular applications.

Two multi-vehicle versions just like everybody else. The red label which is most vehicles 2006 and earlier and the blue label 2002 and newer. Some specifications overlap. Use the product to vehicle look-up guide to match the proper use to be guaranteed!
