HIGHTEC ATF 9005 is a high-performance, low-viscosity automatic transmission fluid built on a special matrix of HC-synthetic base oils combined with fully synthetic PAOs (polyalphaolefins). The reduced viscosity cuts internal friction for improved fuel efficiency while preserving robust gear protection, and the blue-coloured fluid delivers smooth, precise shifting.

Purpose and specifications

This fluid is intended for ultra-low-viscosity automatic transmissions in passenger cars and light vehicles. It meets DEXRON ULV and Aisin Warner AW-2, and carries approvals including MB 236.15, Nissan Matic P, PSA 16 350 560 80, VW G 053 001, VW G 060 540 and Mazda ATF A7.

• 1L container ideal for a complete transmission fluid exchange
• Outstanding cold-flow behaviour down to around -40 C ensures rapid lubrication and crisp engagement from cold
• The HC-synthetic and PAO blend provides high thermal stability and strong wear protection
• Ultra-low viscosity minimises drag to support measurable fuel savings and refined shift quality

When to use / change?

Use this fluid where the transmission specifies an ultra-low-viscosity ATF such as DEXRON ULV. Replacement is generally recommended every 60,000 km or following the manufacturer service schedule, with shorter intervals under demanding conditions. It performs reliably from roughly -40 C to +150 C. Stored unopened in a cool, dry place, the shelf life is approximately 5 years.

Frequently asked questions

What colour is HIGHTEC ATF 9005?
The fluid is dyed blue, which aids fluid identification and leak detection during servicing.

Why does it contain PAO base oils?
The fully synthetic PAO content boosts thermal stability and low-temperature performance beyond conventional fluids.

Is it interchangeable with standard DEXRON VI fluid?
No, it is a dedicated ultra-low-viscosity grade; use only where DEXRON ULV or an equivalent approval is specified.

Suitable for: BMW 5 Series, Ford Focus, Mazda 6, Mercedes-Benz E-Class, Volvo XC60, Peugeot 308. Always verify the exact approval against your vehicle's owner manual before use.
