Havoline automatic transmission fluids beat the heat in Las Vegas

Imagine the stress a Las Vegas taxi is under. It’s pretty much operating 24/7. Traffic is stop-and-go. And the temperature routinely exceeds 100^o F/38 C. Talk about “severe service conditions!” This puts additional stress on today’s automatic transmissions, which are extremely efficient but tend to run hot.

That’s why we chose a Las Vegas taxi fleet to field-test our Havoline® Full Synthetic Multi-Vehicle ATF and Havoline® Global Multi-Vehicle ATF products. We pushed each taxi up to 100,000 miles/160934 km with no flushing or topping off – twice the recommended refill interval for severe service. Check out the results for both the Full Synthetic Multi-Vehicle ATF and the Global Multi-Vehicle ATF. See how they perform against factory brands in the grueling Las Vegas heat.

Havoline Full Synthetic Multi-Vehicle ATF is a fully licensed GM DEXRON®-VI product, the perfect alternative for vehicles that require DEXRON-VI compatibility for warranty purposes. Havoline Global Multi-Vehicle ATF is an alternative for post warranty vehicles that may not require licensed products. The parts speak for themselves, and all Havoline products are backed by Chevron’s Limited Product Warranty.
