Product Information

Full details

The Morris Lubricants Liquimatic DS is an advanced synthetic-based automotive transmission fluid designed for modern automatic transmissions, particularly those from General Motors requiring Dexron VI specifications and 2006 models and newer. Its primary benefit is increased cold start efficiency, leading to improved fuel economy. A potential consideration is its specific application focus, primarily on GM vehicles and certain Aisin Warner models, requiring users to verify compatibility before use. Key features include enhanced cold-start performance, superior wear protection, and extended fluid life.

FAQs

Is Morris Lubricants Liquimatic DS suitable for all automatic transmissions?

No, it is specifically formulated for General Motors applications requiring Dexron VI and certain Aisin Warner transmissions. Always verify your vehicle's requirements against the product's specifications.

Can I use this fluid in a transmission that requires Dexron III?

Dexron VI fluids are generally backward compatible with Dexron III/IIIH, but for optimal performance and to maintain warranty, it is best to use the fluid specified by your vehicle manufacturer. Liquimatic DS meets Dexron VI and is often suitable where Dexron III is specified.

How often should I change my transmission fluid?

Refer to your vehicle's owner's manual for the recommended service interval. For severe driving conditions (towing, stop-and-go traffic, extreme temperatures), more frequent changes may be necessary.

What is the benefit of synthetic transmission fluid?

Synthetic fluids offer superior lubrication, better thermal stability, improved resistance to oxidation and degradation, and maintain viscosity better across a wider temperature range compared to conventional fluids.

Where can I find the list of compatible part numbers?

The product description lists several OEM part numbers and performance levels that Liquimatic DS can be used where stated. Always cross-reference with your vehicle's specific requirements.

Does improved cold start efficiency impact fuel economy?

Yes, by reducing internal friction and drag within the transmission during cold starts, the engine requires less energy to move the vehicle, leading to improved fuel efficiency, especially on short trips or in cold weather.

Troubleshooting

Transmission shifts harshly or slips after fluid change.

Ensure the correct fluid type and quantity were used. Re-check the fluid level according to the vehicle's service manual. Air may need to be purged from the system; refer to the manual for specific procedures.

Fluid appears milky or contaminated.

This may indicate water or coolant contamination. The transmission may require flushing and inspection for internal leaks. Consult a professional mechanic.

Premature darkening of the fluid.

While synthetic fluids are durable, severe driving conditions can accelerate degradation. Ensure the transmission is not overheating and consider more frequent changes if operating under heavy load.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhances fuel economy through improved cold start efficiency.
  • Provides superior protection for modern automatic transmissions.
  • Meets the demanding Dexron VI specification for GM vehicles.
  • Offers broad compatibility with many Aisin Warner and other OEM specifications.
  • Formulated for extended drain intervals, reducing maintenance frequency.

Cons

  • Primarily targeted at GM Dexron VI and specific Aisin Warner applications.
  • Requires careful verification of OEM part numbers and performance levels for compatibility.
  • Not a universal fluid; may not be suitable for older transmissions or those with different specifications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility Check:

Before use, it is crucial to verify that your vehicle's transmission requires a fluid meeting Dexron VI or one of the numerous listed OEM specifications (e.g., BMW P/N 83227542290, Toyota 08886-02305, Audi/VW G 052025). Always consult your vehicle's owner's manual or a qualified mechanic to confirm the correct fluid type.

Fluid Change Procedure:

  1. Ensure the transmission fluid is at operating temperature before draining.
  2. Drain the old fluid from the transmission pan.
  3. Replace the transmission filter if recommended by the manufacturer.
  4. Refill the transmission with the specified amount of Morris Lubricants Liquimatic DS.
  5. Start the engine and cycle through the gears, allowing the fluid to circulate.
  6. Check the fluid level according to the vehicle manufacturer's procedure (often with the engine running and in Park or Neutral).

Care and Maintenance:

  • Store the fluid in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
  • Always use a clean funnel and container when adding fluid to prevent contamination.
  • Follow your vehicle manufacturer's recommended service intervals for transmission fluid changes.
