What is Dexron III Transmission Fluid?
Dexron III transmission fluid is a legendary ATF specification developed by General Motors for automatic transmissions. Like the “Swiss Army knife” of transmission fluids, it offers:
Superior thermal stability (up to 175°C)
Optimized friction characteristics for smooth shifts
Enhanced wear protection for gears and clutches
TERZO Trans ATF VI fully synthetic transmission fluid exceeds Dexron III-H standards while adding modern performance benefits.
Where is Dexron III-H Fluid Used?
This fluid is the lifeblood of:
4-6 speed automatic transmissions (2000s GM, Toyota, Nissan)
Torque converters needing stable viscosity under extreme heat
Power steering systems requiring precise hydraulic performance
Pro Tip: TERZO’s upgraded formula adds:
• 23% better oxidation resistance vs. conventional Dexron III
• -45°C cold-flow performance (perfect for winter driving)
TERZO Trans ATF VI vs. Generic Dexron III
| Feature | Standard Dexron III | TERZO Trans ATF VI |
|---|---|---|
| Base Oil | Mineral | Full Synthetic PAO |
| Viscosity Index | 150 | 174 |
| Pour Point | -40°C | -45°C |
| Additive Tech | Conventional | Liquid Ti-Mo |
This isn’t your grandpa’s transmission fluid – TERZO’s Trans ATF VI is like putting a turbocharger on your transmission’s longevity.
