Zic ATF 3

[asghar1075.dev]

I want to know is Zic ATF 3 is good oil can we use instead of Toyota ATF T-IV, because Toyota ATF is too expensive.

Toyota t-iv is also called mobil 3309

Mobil askari sell it, call them up and ask where to buy it and how much it costs.

It will be cheaper than toyota genuine atf and its literally the same item.

Thank you sir i will check it out but i was asking about Zic because its readily available.

Zic 3 is a clone of the old dexron 3 formulation which is now obsolete as its owners (General Motors USA) stopped issuing licenses for it long ago.

Toyota TIV however is one of the first generation of highly friction modified atf which was made to cope with partial slippage of the torque converter clutch. (Variable tcc)

Its physical properties are similar to dexron 3, but its friction properties exceed the spec of dexron iiiH .

In short, it will make the car work but the shifting characteristics wont be favourable. In the long run it may cause issues if transmission temperature is regularly at high side.

And what about Caltex Texamatic 1888? It also is Dexron IIIH compatible but Caltex says that additionally it has friction modifiers.

So probably it is better than Zic ATF 3, if not at par with Toyota T IV?

Thank you sir for such a detailed reply. so in a long run zic is useless..

Fully synthetic.

Label on the back says that it is Toyota T IV compatible also.

When I asked Mr. Saqib of Humsafar regarding quality of this company's lubes, he used good words.
