In another embodiment, the fluids of the present invention are used in formulating automatic transmission fluids which exhibit excellent initial anti-shudder performance, and outstanding friction durability in the ECCC Friction durability test, as measured by the low speed SAE#2 friction rig.
  • the friction durability of an ATF is assessed through the use of an SAE #2 friction test machine.
  • This machine simulates the high-speed engagement of a clutch by using the clutch as a brake, thereby absorbing a specified amount of energy.
