TECHNOFLUID TQ / ATF
Transmission Fluid
(TQ / ATF & CF-4 SAE 30)TECHNOFLUID Transmission Fluid (TQ / ATF) is a high-performance automatic transmission fluid formulated to meet the lubrication and frictional requirements of modern transmission systems.
Designed to provide excellent lubrication of gears, bearings, and hydraulic components while ensuring smooth torque transmission.
Formulated from high-quality base oils and advanced additive technology to deliver consistent friction characteristics.
Ensures smooth gear shifting, reliable clutch engagement, and efficient power transfer.
Suitable for use in both automotive and off-highway transmission systems, as per OEM recommendations.
Also available as TECHNOFLUID Transmission CF-4 SAE 30 — a heavy-duty transmission and drivetrain lubricant for powershift transmissions, torque converters, final drives, hydraulic systems and wet brake applications in construction, mining, earthmoving and agricultural equipment.
Grades Available
TQ / ATF — automatic transmissions, power steering systems and other hydraulic applications.
CF-4 SAE 30 — powershift transmissions, torque converters, final drives and wet brake systems (JCBs, loaders, excavators and other off-highway equipment). Meets API CF-4, Allison C-4 and Caterpillar TO-2.
SAE 30 pack sizes: 20 L bucket, 26 L cane, 50 L cane and 210 L barrel.
Key Benefits
Excellent thermal and oxidation stability ensures long fluid life under high operating temperatures.
Provides smooth and consistent friction characteristics for trouble-free transmission performance.
Superior anti-wear protection extends the life of gears, bearings, and transmission components.
Good seal compatibility helps prevent leakage and seal hardening.
Excellent low-temperature flow properties ensure smooth operation during cold starts.
Protects against rust, corrosion, and sludge formation.
Reduces noise, vibration, and power loss in transmission systems.
