CALTEX TEXAMATIC® 1888 – HIGH-PERFORMANCE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID
Product Overview
Texamatic® 1888 is a high-performance, multipurpose Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) specially formulated to protect transmission systems against wear while sustaining long-term operational efficiency, even under heavy-duty load conditions. The product carries approvals from leading transmission manufacturers including Allison Transmission and Voith Turbo, ensuring stable performance and extended transmission service life. Texamatic® 1888 combines high-performance base oils with advanced additive technology to deliver outstanding oxidation resistance, superior anti-wear protection, and extended oil service life.
Key Features
- Texamatic® 1888 maximizes transmission longevity through a shear-stable viscosity index improver additive system, enabling the oil to maintain the necessary viscosity and protective film even in modern transmissions operating under high shear stress. Extreme pressure additives form a protective surface film on drivetrain components, preventing wear and damage across all operating conditions. The synergy between the base oil and advanced friction modifier additives delivers optimized friction characteristics, resulting in smooth gear shifts, efficient torque transfer, and improved fuel economy.
- The exceptional oxidation resistance of Texamatic® 1888 inhibits acid formation, oil thickening, and deposit buildup within the transmission, thereby extending fluid service life and sustaining consistent performance throughout the entire operating cycle. Thanks to its extreme pressure additives and effective viscosity characteristics, the product is suitable for a broad range of automotive, industrial, and marine applications. Its distinctive color also enables rapid leak detection without the need for additional dye additives.
Applications
Texamatic® 1888 is suitable for automatic transmissions in passenger cars, light-duty trucks, and heavy-duty commercial vehicles, as well as automatic transmissions in heavy construction and earthmoving equipment. The product is also appropriate for power steering systems where the manufacturer recommends DEXRON® III or MERCON® fluid, sliding vane and screw-type rotary air compressors, mobile hydraulic systems, industrial hydraulic systems, and marine hydraulic applications. Additionally, it may be used in manual transmissions and axle drives where compatible, though it is not recommended for automatic transmissions requiring low-viscosity fluids or anti-shudder formulations.
Performance Standards
Texamatic® 1888 holds Voith Turbo H55.6335 approval (List G607) and meets the requirements of applications calling for General Motors DEXRON® III and Ford MERCON® viscosity specifications, ensuring full compliance with the stringent technical demands of modern automatic transmissions and drivetrain systems.
