AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID - NAG1

Automatic Tran smission Fluid (ATF ) is red in color
when n ew. The ATF is dyed red so it can be identified
from other flu ids used in the vehicle such as en gine
oil or antifreeze. The red color is not per manen t a nd
is n ot an indicator of fluid condition . As the vehicle is
dr iven , the ATF will begin to look da rker in color and
may eventually becom e brown . Th i s i s no r m a l.
FLUID ADDITIVES
Daim lerChrysler strongly recommen ds against the
addition of a ny fluids to the tra nsmission, other tha n
those automatic tr ansmission fluids listed above.
Except ions t o t his policy a re the use of specia l dyes
to aid in detect ing fluid leaks.
Var ious “special” a dditives and supplemen ts exist
that cla im to i m pr ove sh ift feel and/or qu ality. These
additives and oth ers a lso claim to improve converter
clutch opera tion and in hibit overh eating, oxidat ion,
var nish, an d slu dge. Th ese claims h ave not been su p-
por ted t o the satisfaction of DaimlerChrysler and
these additives must not be used. Th e use of tra ns-
mission “sea lers” shou ld also be avoided, since they
may adversely affect t he integrity of transmission
seals.
