Signature Series Fuel-Efficient Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid – Most Advanced AMSOIL Product!
We get more feedback from this one. But transmissions that are pushed to the limits fail when the fluid can no longer protect. AMSOIL not only can handle the abuse longer wile preventing the detrimental effects of oxidized fluid, but it also cuts the temperatures in the first place!
Others use it to gain a few more miles out of an already bad transmission. So, they too recommend it as it seems to do the trick!
And with that others even use it as an additive!!
ATF Product Overview (Known as ATL or Blue Label)
Transmissions in commercial vehicles, SUVs, trucks and vans – particularly those used for hauling or towing – are subjected to severe-service operation and increased heat. Elevated temperatures cause fluids to break down, allowing damaging metal-to-metal contact and the formation of sludge and deposits. The problem is worse in modern transmissions with more gears, clutch packs and narrow oil passages that require clean, high-quality fluid to achieve maximum performance and life.
AMSOIL Signature Series Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid is specifically formulated to withstand the rigors of heavy towing, elevated temperatures and challenging terrain. It remains fluid in sub-zero temperatures and provides reserve protection during heavy use and even abuse.

AMSOIL Tech Tip: Transmission Fluid
Proven in 180,000-mile, Severe-Service Taxi Fleet Field Trial
To demonstrate its effectiveness in severe service, Signature Series Multi-Vehicle Synthetic ATF was installed in Las Vegas taxi cabs. The vehicles routinely encountered demanding stop-and-go driving loaded with passengers and cargo, while the desert environment presented extremely hot ambient temperatures, placing enormous strain on the fluid. Following 180,000 miles, a transmission was selected for analysis. The Aluminum Beaker Oxidation Test (ABOT) is an industry standardized test used to determine a transmission fluid’s oxidation resistance, which is a good indicator of its service life. Testing by an independent, third-party lab revealed that after 180,000 miles in severe service, Signature Series Multi-Vehicle Synthetic ATF resisted oxidation longer than required for new fluid to meet the Chrysler ATF+4 specification (see graph). Internal components, including the valve body and clutch plates (pictured), were virtually free of damaging sludge, deposits and wear, confirming the lubricant’s high level of protection for severe-service applications.
Protects Against Thermal Breakdown
Signature Series Synthetic ATF is formulated with high concentrations of antioxidants, making it naturally heat resistant. It provides outstanding protection against sludge and varnish deposits that clog narrow oil passages and contribute to clutch glazing. After 180,000 miles in severe service, fluid analysis revealed Signature Series Multi-Vehicle Synthetic ATF contained 83 percent of its original oxidation inhibitors, proving its long-lasting resistance to thermal breakdown.
Outstanding Wear Protection
Varying speeds and loads causes torque multiplication and extreme stress on gears and bearings. AMSOIL formulated Signature Series Synthetic ATF with high film strength and premium anti-wear/extreme-pressure additives to help prevent wear during severe service. In the industry-standard FZG Gear Wear Test, Signature Series Multi-Vehicle Synthetic ATF that had been used for 180,000 severe-service miles achieved a “Pass” at stage 12 – the highest stage. The results exceeded the Ford MERCON V and Chrysler ATF+4 specifications for new fluid, demonstrating the lubricant’s long-lasting wear protection.
Cold-Temperature Fluidity
Cold, thick automatic transmission fluid lengthens shift times and reduces fuel economy. Signature Series Synthetic ATF is wax-free and delivers extraordinary cold-flow properties. It helps improve shift response, energy efficiency and warm-up times.
Friction Durability
Today’s transmissions are smaller and must withstand higher horsepower and torque while delivering smoother shifts, all with longer fluid life recommendations. AMSOIL Signature Series Synthetic ATF is formulated with friction modifier additives that deliver outstanding clutch-holding capacity (static friction), torque-transfer ability (dynamic friction) and anti-shudder properties (slipping torque-converter clutches). Analysis reveals that after 180,000 miles in severe service, Signature Series Multi-Vehicle Synthetic ATF provides nearly identical friction properties as new fluid for smooth, reliable shifts.

AMSOIL Signature Series (BLUE) Synthetic ATF
By BobbyD, a Verified Buyer from Florida on July 01, 2024
I had a shifting problem, up and down on a 2019 Silverado 8L90 8-speed transmission. This transmission only had 45,000~ miles on it. Removing the prior fluid, changing the filter, essentially flushing the tranny with the BLUE ATF resolved any issues I was experiencing. The transmission actually shifts better now than it ever did, even brand new. AMSOIL Signature Series ATF is magic! Great stuff and I highly recommend it!
Improvements noticeable
By SHAHAN, a Verified Buyer on June 22, 2024
Shifting speed and smoothness improved, which was expected with a new fluid. But I really didn’t expect acceleration to improve, and it did. The transmission is quieter too, so all around, I’m extremely satisfied after 600 miles with the new ATF.

Transmission fluid
Best ATF I’ve ever used
By Mike, a Verified Buyer from Tennessee on May 19, 2024
I had the infamous transmission shudder on my 2018 duramax Colorado and I changed to the AMSOIL ATF fluid, the shudder is no more, and the transmission shifts so smoothly like its brand new. I am very impressed with this oil and will be using this in all my vehicles from here on out!
