4. Application and Setup

Before applying TRIAX Global ATF, always consult your vehicle's owner's manual for specific transmission fluid requirements and capacities. Ensure the transmission is at the correct operating temperature for fluid level checks, as specified by the manufacturer.

1. צוגרייטונג: Park the vehicle on a level surface and engage the parking brake. Allow the engine and transmission to cool if they are hot.
2. Draining Old Fluid: Locate the transmission drain plug (if applicable) or pan. Place a suitable drain pan underneath to collect the old fluid. Carefully remove the plug or pan bolts to drain the fluid. Dispose of used fluid responsibly according to local regulations.
3. ריפילינג: Locate the transmission fill tube or plug. Using a funnel, slowly add the TRIAX Global ATF. The 5-quart jug features a built-in spout for precise pouring and an airtight reseal, minimizing spills and ensuring freshness.
4. קאָנטראָלירן פליסיק לעוועל: After adding the initial amount, start the engine and cycle through all gear positions (P, R, N, D, etc.) to circulate the new fluid. Re-check the fluid level using the dipstick or inspection plug, adding more fluid as needed until the correct level is reached.

5. Operating Principles and Performance

TRIAX Global ATF is engineered with advanced friction modifiers and high-quality synthetic base stocks to deliver optimal transmission performance. Its formulation ensures consistent and reliable operation under various driving conditions.

• Friction Retention: The fluid maintains stable friction characteristics over time and mileage, which is crucial for consistent shift feel and preventing shudder.
• Reduced Slippage: By minimizing slippage and sticking, the fluid ensures efficient power transfer and reduces wear on transmission components.
• Thermal Stability: Excellent viscosity stability and enhanced heat management properties help to lower operating temperatures, protecting the transmission from heat-related degradation.

6. Maintenance and Drain Intervals

The extended drain capabilities of TRIAX Global ATF contribute to reduced maintenance frequency and cost. However, actual drain intervals can vary based on driving conditions, vehicle type, and manufacturer recommendations.

• Passenger Cars and SUVs: Qualifies for "FILL FOR LIFE" service under normal driving conditions.
• Heavy Duty Applications: Recommended for up to 100,000 miles.
• Severe Service Haulers: Recommended for up to 50,000 miles.

Regularly check your transmission fluid level and condition. If the fluid appears dark, smells burnt, or if you experience unusual shifting, consider a fluid change regardless of mileage.

7. טראָובלעשאָאָטינג

If you encounter issues after a transmission fluid change or during regular operation, consider the following general troubleshooting steps:

• Incorrect Fluid Level: The most common issue. Ensure the fluid level is precisely within the recommended range on the dipstick or inspection plug, following the vehicle manufacturer's procedure (e.g., hot or cold check).
• לופט אין סיסטעם: After a fluid change, air can sometimes be trapped. Driving the vehicle gently for a short period and re-checking the fluid level can help.
• קאַנטאַמאַניישאַן: Ensure no contaminants entered the transmission during the fluid change. Use clean tools and funnels.
• פּערסיסטענט ישוז: If shifting problems, noises, or leaks persist, it may indicate a mechanical issue with the transmission itself. Consult a qualified automotive technician for diagnosis and repair.

Always refer to your vehicle's specific service manual for detailed troubleshooting and repair procedures.
