MANNOL 8213 ATF AG60 Automatic Transmission Fluid

Vehicle Recommendations

The supplied product information identifies MANNOL 8213 ATF AG60 for compatible automatic transmission applications across a range of European, American and Asian vehicle manufacturers.

The product information specifically identifies modern ZF 6-speed and 8-speed automatic transmissions and applications associated with VW G 060 162. Vehicle brand alone should not be used to determine compatibility. Always compare the exact transmission requirement with the product specification before use.

Product Overview

MANNOL 8213 ATF AG60 is a fully synthetic, low-viscosity automatic transmission fluid designed for compatible modern automatic gearboxes. The supplied product information describes it for ZF Group 6-speed and 8-speed transmissions and applications developed around Volkswagen Group requirements.

Its formulation is designed to provide suitable friction characteristics, lubrication and hydraulic performance for automatic transmission components while maintaining stable operation across changing temperatures.

The supplied product information identifies the fluid as green in colour for service identification.

MANNOL 8213 ATF AG60 Specifications

ZF 6-Speed and 8-Speed Transmission Applications

The product information identifies this fluid for compatible ZF 6-speed and 8-speed automatic transmissions. These applications require the correct fluid characteristics for hydraulic control, clutch operation, lubrication and transmission component protection.

The low-viscosity formulation is designed for modern automatic transmission systems where the specified fluid characteristics are required.

Transmission compatibility should always be confirmed from the vehicle or transmission manufacturer's documentation.

Low-Temperature Performance

The supplied product information states that the fluid provides good lubricating properties at temperatures down to -45°C.

Low-temperature fluid behaviour is important for transmission operation because the lubricant must circulate and provide suitable lubrication during cold starts and changing operating conditions.

Actual vehicle performance depends on ambient conditions, transmission design, fluid condition and vehicle maintenance.

Smooth Gear Shifting and Friction Control

The additive system is described as providing suitable antifriction and friction characteristics for automatic transmission components.

The supplied product information describes support for:

• Smooth transmission shifting
• Coordinated clutch operation
• Stable friction behaviour
• Reduced friction
• Protection against scuffing

Actual shifting behaviour depends on the transmission design, fluid specification, fluid condition and mechanical condition of the gearbox.

Fuel Economy and Efficiency

The product information describes the formulation as supporting fuel economy through its antifriction characteristics.

Actual fuel consumption depends on the vehicle, transmission, operating conditions, driving style, maintenance and other factors. Therefore, a specific fuel-saving result should not be assumed for every vehicle.

Wear and Scuffing Protection

Automatic transmissions contain gears, friction elements and other components that require suitable lubrication and controlled friction.

MANNOL 8213 is described as providing protection against wear and scuffing under demanding operating conditions.

Correct fluid selection remains essential because automatic transmissions are designed around specific lubricant characteristics.

Thermal and Oxidation Stability

Automatic transmission fluid can experience high temperatures and repeated thermal cycles during normal and demanding operation.

The supplied product information describes MANNOL 8213 as having high thermal, oxidative and chemical stability.

This formulation is described as helping reduce the formation of:

• Lacquer
• Sludge
• Soot
• Carbon deposits

The appropriate replacement interval should always follow the vehicle or transmission manufacturer's instructions.

Hydraulic System Performance

Automatic transmissions use hydraulic systems to control several transmission functions.

The supplied product information identifies the fluid as supporting components and functions including:

• Hydraulic converters
• Hydraulic clutches
• Hydraulic servo drives
• Gear wheels

The formulation is also described as providing cooling properties and resistance to aeration and foam formation.

Corrosion Protection

The product information states that the fluid protects ferrous and non-ferrous metal components from corrosion during operation and when the vehicle is not operating.

Corrosion protection forms part of the fluid's overall formulation and is intended to help maintain the condition of transmission components.

Anti-Foam and Aeration Control

Foam and aeration can affect hydraulic transmission fluid behaviour. MANNOL 8213 is described as having resistance to aeration and foam formation.

Maintaining suitable fluid behaviour supports the hydraulic operation of the transmission, while actual performance depends on the gearbox design and operating condition.

Seal Compatibility

The supplied product information states that the fluid is compatible with sealing materials and helps prevent:

• Seal swelling
• Seal hardening
• Seal shrinking

This characteristic is intended to help reduce leakage associated with deterioration of compatible sealing materials.

Noise Reduction

The supplied product information describes the fluid as helping to reduce transmission noise.

Transmission noise can also result from component wear, fluid level, mechanical faults and other vehicle conditions. A lubricant should not be considered a replacement for mechanical diagnosis.

Volkswagen, Audi, SEAT and Skoda Applications

The supplied information includes the Volkswagen Group brands Volkswagen, Audi, SEAT and Skoda among the vehicle applications.

The product information also identifies VW G 060 162 as a key reference for applicable transmissions.

Always verify the exact vehicle model, transmission and required fluid specification before use.

Other Vehicle Applications

The supplied recommendation information also includes applications associated with the following manufacturers:

These recommendations should be treated as product-level application information. They do not mean that every model from these manufacturers requires this fluid.
