This document discusses automatic transmission fluids (ATF). It provides information on ATF function, formulation, market drivers influencing ATF development, and updates on major automaker ATF specifications. Specifically, it notes that improved fuel economy and emissions standards are driving transmission designs toward more efficient options like CVTs and more speeds. As a result, ATFs require enhanced properties like lower viscosity and improved anti-wear and oxidation performance to support advanced transmission technologies. The document also summarizes that ATF applications will continue diversifying to meet specific transmission needs.
