Developed in close collaboration with Allison Transmission and FUCHS Lubricants, the new Isuzu ATF Syn HD is a synthetic fluid designed specifically for Allison Transmission units fitted to Isuzu’s popular six-cylinder medium and heavy-duty models.
This initiative ensures Isuzu medium and heavy-duty customers have access to a factory-standard, locally manufactured fluid that guarantees optimal performance and longevity for their vehicles.
IAL national parts sales manager Joel Gledhill says the product is a testament to Isuzu’s customer-first philosophy.
“Our customers are increasingly specifying top quality Allison automatic transmissions in our F, FX and FY Series, so we knew we had to ‘close the loop’ and deliver a genuine fluid that matches the excellence of the transmission itself,” he says.
“This isn’t just another parts product launch, it’s the result of three global leading OEM’s uniting with a single goal to give our customers full confidence and protect their investment, no matter how tough the job.”
It has undergone rigorous testing, demonstrating superior thermal stability and wear protection to withstand the unique demands of Australian distance, climate, and road conditions.
FUCHS national key account manager Anthony de Alwis says this was a true partnership from the ground up.
“We worked hand-in-hand with Isuzu and Allison to create a fluid that meets the stringent requirements set by the TES 668 specification and gained formal approval from Allison,” he says.
“Manufactured right here in Australia at our Sunshine facility allows us to guarantee supply and ensure every batch is tailored for the conditions that Australian trucks face every day.”
The introduction of ATF Syn HD strengthens Isuzu’s comprehensive Genuine Parts lubricants range, which includes 15 different lubricants and fluids from next generation engine oils to greases and additives.
“Through our partnership with FUCHS, we are ensuring that from the engine through to the differentials and everywhere in between, our customers have access to the very best lubricants,” Gledhill says.
“It’s about delivering the same level of performance and reliability that rolled off the factory floor, for the entire life of the vehicle.”
The Isuzu ATF Syn HD is available now through Isuzu’s national dealer network in 20-litre and 205-litre barrels.
