DuraDrive HD Synthetic 668 ATF | TES 668 Allison Transmission Fluid

The Allison automatic transmission found in your Duramax diesel pickup truck is a great transmission, widely regarded as one of if not the best transmission used in a 3/4- or 1-ton diesel pickup. The complex internal components of the transmission require transmission fluid (ATF) that is specifically designed and optimized to work with the clutches, gears, bearings and bushings to deliver peak performance while also protecting the components and providing longevity. Allison Transmission has recommended that customers use TES 295 rated fluids in their transmissions such as the popular TranSynd fluid that we at Merchant Automotive have been recommending for years. But starting in 2021 that recommendation will change to TES 668 rated fluids.

SUMMARY

If you are looking for the best ATF for your Allison transmission DuraDrive HD Synthetic 668 ATF from Petro-Canada is the stuff for you. We will have it available here on the MA website as soon as it is available, in the meantime you can still purchase TranSynd or CAM2 Dexron VI ATF for your Allison transmission, they are still full synthetic fluids and we have had great results with both fluids in our MAximum Transmissions.
