Triax ULV ATF VOA

- Start date
Curiosity killed the cat. Hopefully it won’t kill my 10R140, because for some reason (Valvoline was out of stock) I decided to buy enough of the stuff to drain and fill twice with a PPE transmission pan.
Will test at 1000 miles and will try to remember to report back. Fingers crossed.

Were you able to check it again at 1K miles?

It's definitely a ULV ATF at 4.5cSt@100C.
I question the phos and zinc levels; seems to be rather high.

Is being high with phos and zinc good in an atf application?
Zinc is a bit high but the phosphorus falls in between the VOA of Valvoline and Mercon ULV. Like most things Triax related, lacks any licenses as usual but UOA has the appearance of serviceable for the intended application.

It just seems high compared to some other ULV ATF formulations.

I just purchased some of this for use in the reduction gear in my Blazer EV. Anyone have any additional experience to share? EVs aren't known for being hard on ATF since there's no shifting, but better safe than sorry. I also feel as though the motor assembly is louder than it was when I brought the vehicle home. GM severe service is 45,000 miles and I'm just over 34,000 miles now.
