VERSATRANS® LV ATF

The Low-Viscosity Standard for High-Efficiency Drivetrains

Close

Phillips 66® VersaTrans® LV ATF is a premium-quality, full-synthetic transmission fluid specifically engineered for use in modern automatic transmissions requiring a low-viscosity (LV) lubricant. This advanced formulation is designed to meet the rigorous performance standards of Ford MERCON® LV and GM DEXRON®-VI, providing superior fuel economy and shift precision compared to traditional high-viscosity fluids. By utilizing a 100% synthetic base stock, it offers exceptional thermal stability and resistance to oxidation, ensuring consistent hydraulic performance in the high-heat, stop-and-go environments common to service fleets and delivery vehicles.

PRODUCT RESOURCES 

PERFORMANCE

  • Friction Stability: Engineered with specialized modifiers to maintain consistent "static-to-dynamic" friction ratios for shudder-free shifts.

  • Thermal Endurance: Full-synthetic chemistry prevents fluid thickening and chemical breakdown under heavy towing loads.

  • Rapid Hydraulics: Low-viscosity profile ensures immediate pressure to the valve body for crisp, responsive gear changes.

PROTECTION

  • Shear Resistance: Utilizes high-stability polymers that resist mechanical thinning, maintaining an impenetrable film on gear teeth.

  • Seal Rejuvenation: Formulated with conditioners that keep internal gaskets and O-rings pliable to prevent high-pressure fluid loss.

  • Anti-Corrosion Tech: Provides a chemical shield for copper-clad bushings and yellow-metal synchronizers against acidic attack.

UPTIME

  • Fuel Economy: Reduces internal fluid drag and parasitic pumping losses, contributing to improved fleet-wide MPG.

  • Component Longevity: Advanced anti-wear additives drastically reduce fatigue on planetary gear sets and thrust washers.

  • Deposit Prevention: High-detergency formula keeps the transmission cooler by eliminating the insulating sludge and varnish layers.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

  • Multi-Vehicle Coverage: Specifically licensed for Ford and GM, but also suitable for many Toyota, Honda, and Nissan LV specs.

  • Anti-Shudder Protection: Drastically reduces torque converter vibration, extending the life of the lock-up clutch.

  • Exceptional Cold Flow: Eliminates "shift-flare" and delayed engagement during freezing coastal startups.

  • Oxidation Guard: Resists the thermal stress of modern, compact transmission designs with smaller oil capacities.

  • Enhanced Cooling: Efficiently transfers heat away from the torque converter to the external cooling system.

APPLICATIONS

  • Automatic transmissions requiring Ford MERCON® LV or GM DEXRON®-VI.

  • Late-model Toyota (Type WS), Honda (DW-1), and Nissan (Matic-S) gearboxes.

  • Transfer cases in modern 4x4 trucks requiring a low-viscosity ATF.

  • Commercial light-duty service fleets and urban delivery vans.

Licenses & Approvals:
  • Licensed for MERCON® LV (M190302)

  • Licensed for DEXRON®-VI (J-60181)

  • Recommended for use where JASO 1A-LV is required.

MAMMOTH TECHNICAL TIP:

When servicing the Ford 6R80 or GM 6L80 series, the fluid’s aeration resistance is critical. These units use high-flow pumps that can cavitate if the ATF foams, leading to erratic line pressure and burnt clutch packs. VersaTrans® LV is formulated with advanced de-foaming agents that maintain an air-free hydraulic stream even at high RPMs. Additionally, if you are seeing "TCC Shudder" (Torque Converter Clutch) during light acceleration, the synthetic friction modifiers in this LV fluid are specifically balanced to stop that oscillation, preventing the glaze-over that often leads to a full transmission overhaul.
