Automatic Transmission Fluid
Afton automatic transmission fluid additives enable OEMs to improve vehicle designs and oil companies to improve their product portfolios.
What makes Afton® ATFs Automatically FirstTM?
Automatic transmission fluids (ATFs) are among the most complex and sophisticated of all lubricants. ATF additives are formulated using a delicate balance of componentry, and must be capable of functioning well in a variety of transmission, engine and vehicle combinations.
Afton Chemical is a global leader in ATF additives – the culmination of many years of research and development with the world’s leading OEMs. Afton leads the way in transmission additives for traditional step-type automatics and newer technologies, such as dual clutch transmissions (DCT) and continuously variable transmissions (CVT).
Afton takes a solutions-oriented approach to deliver the best choice for your project:

Oil Companies
At Afton we see transmission fluid additives as more than a means to a specification target we help oil marketers successfully differentiate their products in a competitive ATF space.
Automatic transmission usage varies around the world, and several aspects impact the service-fill fluid demand. This includes car model diversity, average age, end-user behavior (DIY, CIY, DIFM) and distribution chains. We help our customers design the most comprehensive and efficient product portfolio for a service-fill market that’s in constant change.
