DEX VI ATF Fluid Features
Avana DEX VI ATF Fluid is formulated under the supervision of industry experts using high-quality base oils, additives, and anti-oxidants. It’s a multi-vehicle, low viscosity automatic transmission fluid, designed to meet the service fill requirements of many of today’s vehicles where the above mentioned specifications are recommended. Using Avana DEX VI ATF Fluid will bring out several benefits including extended transmission life, enhanced performance, fuel efficiency, and great driving experience.
1. Longer Fluid Life
Avana DEX VI ATF Fluid is specifically formulated to provide extended fluid life compared to other traditional ATF fluids. Our product is comprised of good quality base oils and additives that increase the shelf life to a greater period of time. This means your vehicle can go longer periods between fluid changes, making it cost-effective and time-saving.
2. Better Frictional Properties
Using our DEX VI ATF Fluid will help you decrease the friction between metal components of your transmission system. They provide the best frictional properties which contributes to smoother gear shifts and overall transmission performance. Improved frictional properties help your transmission to optimize power transfer and reduce the risk of clutch slippage and premature wear.
3. Good Wear Protection
The formulation of DEX VI ATF Fluid is composed of additives and base oils that provide excellent wear protection for transmission components. Without the risk of premature wear, the lifespan of critical parts such as gears, bearings, and seals extends and reduces the likelihood of costly repairs.
4. Good Low-Temperature Performance
Avana DEX VI ATF Fluid maintains fluidity in extreme cold conditions. With a pour point of -53°C and a flash point of 190°C, it can ensure smooth transmission in both colder and high temperature climates. The low temperature performance characteristic of our product will prevent sluggish shifting and allow easier start-ups in cold weather conditions.
5. Less Foaming
Foaming in an ATF fluid is mostly due to the agitation and aeration within the transmission system. Foaming in the ATF fluid gradually leads to inconsistent fluid pressure and the formation of air pockets, leading to diminished system performance and premature wear. However, the technology and materials used in the formulation of AVANA DEX VI ATF Fluid ultimately help to minimize the foaming, resulting in proper lubrication and hydraulic function throughout the system.
6. Backward Compatible with Previous GM Dex Specifications
Avana DEX VI ATF Fluid can be used in place of fluids that recommend previous GM DEX specifications. Our product is critically compatible with most of the earlier GM DEX specifications. They are designed to provide versatility and convenience for owners of various GM vehicles. Therefore, this characteristic of our DEX VI ATF Fluid washes away the uncertainties and provides safe use in vehicles that originally required older DEX ATF formulations.
7. High Film Strength
By exhibiting a high film strength, AVANA DEX VI ATF lubricates metal surfaces in the transmission in a consistent and long-lasting manner. When towing or carrying big loads, for example, high-stress operating situations, this protective coating helps minimize wear and friction.
8. Excellent Seal compatibility
Our DEX VI ATF Fluid is designed to be compatible with seals and gaskets present within the transmission system. Incompatibility with seals and transmission fluid can result in leaks and deterioration of the components. However, Avana DEX VI ATF Fluid is suitable with a broad variety of seal materials, such as rubber, silicone, and different synthetic compounds, that are frequently used in car transmissions, ensuring long-term performance and reduced maintenance costs.

1. Is DEX VI ATF Compatible with Other Fluids?
DEX VI ATF can be blended with other automatic transmission fluids that satisfy the specifications of industry brands like GM DEXRON VI and are fully compliant with the DEX VI ATF specification.
2. What is DEX VI ATF?
DEX VI is a type of Automatic Transmission Fluid that functions as a dampener, lubricant, and cooler in valves, discs, and mechanical systems. It guarantees the continuous passage of power between the motor and the gearbox and provides complete wear protection and optimal performance despite the varying temperature conditions.
3. Do I need to change the Gearbox Oil?
Yes. Every 6 months or 10,000 km, you should change the automatic transmission fluid. You should also need to change the transmission oil filter 1-2 times per year.
4. What is the colour of DEX VI ATF?
The colour of DEX VI ATF is red. It can vary, but in most cases the colour of the fluid is red. This will help you in finding any fluid leakages. If you find your fluid dark brown or black, it shows that it’s time for fluid change.
5. What vehicles use DEX VI ATF fluid?
DEX VI ATF fluid is most commonly used in vehicles manufactured by GM, Honda, Ford, Toyota, and other high-end vehicle manufacturers. But because it works with different transmission systems, it’s also utilized in cars made by other manufacturers that specify DEXRON VI or a similar fluid.
6. Is DEX VI ATF high viscosity?
No, DEX VI ATF is a low viscosity, fully synthetic automatic transmission fluid that protects most passenger and commercial vehicles that exhibit automatic transmission systems.
