protection.
• Wide Range of Applications
Effective EP additive, viscosity characteristics and a wide range of manufacturers’
approvals allows use in a variety of automotive, industrial and marine
applications. Its wide range of applications minimizes inventory and reduces risk
of misapplication. Distinctive coloring is effective in highlighting leakage, so
specially dyed fluids are not required where leak detection is critical.

Applications

• Car and light truck automatic transmissions

• On-highway heavy-duty automatic transmissions

• Off-highway heavy-duty automatic transmissions

• Power steering units (only where the manufacturer recommends a DEXRON®-III


or MERCON® fluid)

• Rotary vane and screw type air compressors (where this type of fluid is
appropriate)

• Mobile hydraulic systems

Service Considerations

Texamatic® 1888 is designed primarily for use in those automatic transmissions


where fluids conforming to the General Motors (GM) DEXRON®-III and Ford
MERCON® specifications are required. These specifications are now obsolete
and it is no longer possible to formally qualify and license product against their
respective requirements.

This includes many automatic transmissions of other than GM and Ford


manufacture. Always check the manufacturer’s requirements as in some cases
fluids must meet additional specifications beyond those provided for in
DEXRON®-III and MERCON.

Automatic Transmission Fluid

continued
In GM automatic transmissions, DEXRON®-III fluids are back-serviceable to all
earlier GM ATF specifications including DEXRON®-IIE, DEXRON®-II, DEXRON®,
Type A, Suffix A and Type A. This back serviceability is not always applicable to
other makes of automatic transmissions, nor to non-automatic transmission
applications, so in all cases equipment manufacturer requirements should be
reviewed.

DEXRON® type ATFs in particular are widely specified for use in non-automotive
equipment, including hydraulic systems and air compressors. Texamatic 1888 is
suitable for use in such equipment where DEXRON®-III or MERCON® fluids are
specified.

Vehicle power steering systems are safety critical, and as such should always
be serviced with fluids that fully conform to the individual manufacturer’s
requirements. Some power steering systems are designed to use ATFs. In
those cases where ATFs of the DEXRON®-III or MERCON® type without additional
requirements are specified or permitted, Texamatic 1888 may be used. It is not
suitable for use where more specialized power steering fluids are required, such as
in many vehicle models from Honda, Toyota and other manufacturers.
