AMSOIL INC. has re-positioned two of its synthetic automatic transmission fluids to be included in the company's Signature Series family.

AMSOIL INC. of Superior, Wis., has re-positioned two of its synthetic automatic transmission fluids to be included in the company’s Signature Series family. The new designation reflects the premium quality of AMSOIL Multi-Vehicle Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid and AMSOIL Fuel-Efficient Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid, said the company. The robust performance was proven during severe-service field testing, validating the expanded service life recommendations. AMSOIL Signature Series ATF is recommended for twice the vehicle manufacturers’ severe-service drain interval. The products also feature new packaging. 

Signature Series ATF provides outstanding high and low temperature performance and oxidation stability.  In addition, AMSOIL Synthetic ATF is formulated to improve fuel efficiency, reduce transmission temperatures and increase equipment life.  

A premiere feature of the new Signature Series transmission fluids is the effectiveness in severe service. In order to demonstrate the capabilities of the new line AMSOIL partnered with a Las Vegas taxicab fleet whose constant idling, stop-and-go driving and passenger loads in searing desert heat can push drivetrain fluids to the limit. The test showed outstanding wear protection and durability.

Alternator Testing For No Charge Conditions

Many alternator problems turn out to be nothing more than a bad connection at the alternator or a bad wiring harness.

If only battery voltage is present at the battery on a running engine, does this mean the alternator is “bad?” No, it does not. It only means that the alternator is not charging, but does not reveal why. Therefore, it does not point to a faulty alternator. All too often, the alternator is condemned by technicians due to this test alone. The cause could instead be a module that distributes the power to the vehicle and regulates the alternator.
