Wynns Automatic Transmission Flush

Wynn's Automatic Transmission Flush is an automatic transmission cleaner, formulated to transform old automatic transmission fluid into a safe cleaning fluid which removes sludge and varnish deposits that could cause contamination of new transmission fluid and transmission filter plugging. Wynn's Automatic Transmission Flush is formulated to be used in conjunction with the Wynn's Transerve® Automatic Transmission Flush and Fill Machine.

Introduction

Automobile manufacturers require scheduled transmission fluid changes in order to maintain warranty coverage. Following the warranty period, transmission fluid changes are still recommended on a specific schedule to maintain optimum condition of the transmission. Transmission coolers, lines and torque converters are not typically drained during a traditional transmission fluid drain and fill. In fact, up to 75% of the used contaminated fluid can remain in the system. Just like motor oil and engine coolant, transmission fluid deteriorates over time, forming damaging sludge and varnish deposits.
Automatic transmission fluid becomes contaminated and oxidized differently than engine oil. There are not combustion gases or "soot" loading or fuel dilution. The elements working against transmission fluid are extremely high pressures (hydraulic pressure as high as 300 psi), high temperatures, and constantly changing stress patterns and shearing in the torque converter. Moisture and engine coolant contamination, and temperature extremes, act to cause fluid degradation and oxidation in a similar manner that affects engine oil breakdown.
Wear metals are difficult to remove when much of the oil fluid remains in the transmission system. Much of this damaging debris stays in the transmission, slowly grinding away internal components. According to a leading manufacturer of transmission fluid, the addition of new fluid to contaminated fluid can actually cause sludge and varnish deposits to clog filters and restrict the flow of transmission fluid. This can result in a serious malfunction, or even a complete transmission failure.

Advantages

Over 90% of automotive transmission failures are due to overheating and fluid contamination. Similar to a vehicle’s engine oil, its automatic transmission fluid (ATF) acts as a lubricant and detergent, carrying away damaging heat and contaminants, and protects the transmission against wear and premature failure. But unlike a vehicle’s engine oil, most of the ATF is not replaced with a typical drain and fill service.
In fact, the traditional automatic transmission service replaces 40 percent or less of this vital fluid. The remainder is trapped inside valve bodies, the torque converter and transmission cooler lines.
To make matters worse, the addition of fresh ATF can actually loosen damaging sludge and varnish deposits within the transmission, which can lead to faulty operation and even transmission failure. But there's a better way. Wynn's patented Transmission Flush Service. Wynn's Transmission Flush Service utilizes specially designed equipment that hooks-up to the transmission, and with the use of Wynn's Automatic Transmission Flush, safely power flushes out old fluid and contaminants. Fresh ATF is then pumped in along with Wynn's Automatic Transmission Treatment which revitalizes the seals and O-rings of the automatic transmission.
The Wynn's Transmission Flush Service provides virtually a 100% fluid replacement, as opposed to the 25-50% replacement with conventional "drop the pan" drain and refill services.

Key Benefits

A typical transmission flush replaces only 40% of contaminated fluid. Wynn's Transmission Flush removes over 95% of used fluid. Over 90% of all automatic transmission failures are due to overheating and fluid contamination. Wynn's Transmission Flush Service safely powers away virtually all life robbing dirty fluid and contaminants, extending the life of automatic transmissions and helping to avoid costly repairs or replacement.
