Product Details
AMSOIL 100% Synthetic ATV/UTV Dual-Clutch Transmission Fluid is a purpose-built synthetic lubricant engineered to protect the complex dual-clutch transmissions found in Can-Am Maverick R side-by-sides, delivering fast, smooth shifts and reliable wear protection under the most punishing conditions.
Dual-clutch transmissions in modern ATVs and UTVs operate under a unique combination of stresses. They handle split-second gear changes through wet clutch packs while simultaneously lubricating heavily loaded gears and bearings. The weight of passengers, accessories, and cargo, combined with aggressive riding through mud, rocks, and steep terrain, generates extreme pressure and heat that can mechanically shear conventional fluids, strip away viscosity, and leave critical components vulnerable.
SEVERE-SERVICE GEAR AND BEARING PROTECTION
The extreme pressures and high torque generated during hard trail riding and heavy hauling can shear transmission fluids, causing them to lose viscosity and film strength right when protection matters most. AMSOIL Synthetic ATV/UTV Dual-Clutch Transmission Fluid boasts outstanding film strength that resists extreme pressure to protect heavily loaded, high-torque gears and bearings against wear. In Four-Ball Wear Testing (ASTM D4172, Para 1 at 75°C, 1200 rpm, 40 kg, 1 hr), AUDCT delivered a wear scar of just 0.411 mm, demonstrating its ability to maintain a durable protective barrier between metal surfaces under sustained load.
PREVENTS CLUTCH SHUDDER FOR SMOOTH, QUIET SHIFTS
Dual-clutch transmissions are capable of seamless, split-second shifts, but they can develop shudder or lurching at slow speeds when the transmission fluid's friction properties degrade. AMSOIL Synthetic ATV/UTV DCT Fluid is engineered to ensure stable synchronizer engagement that prevents shudder and consistently produces fast, smooth shifts. This friction durability helps extend the working life of the clutch packs and the transmission as a whole, which is particularly important in machines like the Can-Am Maverick R that see aggressive use in technical terrain.
SUPERIOR EXTREME-TEMPERATURE PERFORMANCE
Heat is the primary enemy of transmission fluid longevity. Crawling through technical rock sections, hauling heavy loads, or running hard in desert conditions can push DCT fluid temperatures to extremes that cause conventional fluids to break down, forming harmful deposits and accelerating wear. AMSOIL Synthetic ATV/UTV DCT Fluid resists thermal breakdown to protect critical components and cool internal surfaces under sustained high-temperature operation. On the cold end, with a Brookfield Viscosity of 8900 cP at -40°C (ASTM D2983) and a pour point of -56°C (-69°F), this fluid remains fluid in frigid conditions for fast, efficient cold-weather starts. That wide operating temperature range, backed by a viscosity index of 170 (ASTM D2270), means consistent performance from frozen morning startups to high-heat summer rides.
FIGHTS RUST AND CORROSION
ATVs and UTVs regularly encounter water crossings, mud, snow, and humidity that can introduce moisture into the transmission housing. AMSOIL Synthetic ATV/UTV DCT Fluid is formulated to fight rust and corrosion, protecting internal metal surfaces from the damaging effects of moisture contamination that can compromise gear surfaces and bearing life over time.
COMPATIBILITY AND APPLICATION
AMSOIL Synthetic ATV/UTV Dual-Clutch Transmission Fluid is designed for use in Can-Am Maverick R dual-clutch transmissions. It is an excellent alternative to original equipment manufacturer (OEM) fluids and is Warranty Secure, meaning it will not void your manufacturer's factory warranty.
