Amsoil VS Redline - can the following data distinguish the winner?
Below is the technical data for Amsoil and Redline transmission fluid - by looking at the data - which one is better?? Idon't have the knowldege todifferentiate between the two...[&o]
REDLINE Synthetic D4 ATFis suitable for use where Dexron III, Dexron III H, Dexron II, Toyota T-IV, Hyundai, Voith, ZF, Nissan Matic-J, Honda Z-1, Mercon, or Mercon V fluids are recommended. The D4 ATF is designed with superior low-temperature properties compared to a DexronIII fluid, and the improved shear-stability requirementswhich is part of the new Mercon V specifications. The D4 ATF also provides significantly improved gear protection and will provide a GL-4 level of gear protection,making it a superior product for transmissions and transaxles. The balanced frictional characteristics provides smooth and consistent shifts for extended drain intervals.The superior stability compared to petroleum ATFs allows high-temperature operation without varnishing valves and clutches which leads to transmission failure.
Recommended use:
Dexron III
Mercon
Mercon – V
Vis @ 100°C, cSt 7.5
Vis @ 40°C, cSt34.0
Viscosity Index198
Brookfield Vis @ -40°C, P 52
Pour Point, °C -60
Pour Point, °F -76
Flash Point, °C 225
Flash Point, °F 437

AMSOIL Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) exceeds the performance requirements for domestic and foreign automatic transmission fluid applications. AMSOIL ATF provides automatic transmissions, power steering units and hydraulic equipment with excellent lubricating protection and better performance over a wider temperature range than conventional automatic transmission fluids.
Resists Oxidation and Thermal Degradation
AMSOIL ATF resists thermal and oxidative degradation better than conventional transmission fluids, protecting clutches, planetary gears, valves, pumps and seals from damaging sludge and varnish deposits. AMSOIL ATF helps prevent component overheating and ensures cooler, smoother transmission operation.
Provides Low Temperature Protection
AMSOIL ATF outperforms petroleum fluids in low temperature fluidity. In fact, AMSOIL ATF offers twice the cold temperature fluidity required by current automatic transmission fluid specifications. AMSOIL ATF provides easier starting, faster warm-ups, smoother shifting and improved fuel economy.
Antiwear Protection
AMSOIL ATF provides smooth shifting and long, trouble-free transmission life. In addition, the antiwear additive package makes AMSOIL ATF an excellent lubricant in other hydraulic systems. In tests designed to measure wear characteristics under severe service and high pressure operating conditions, AMSOIL ATF far exceeds the requirements of hydraulic equipment manufacturers.
Extends Drain Intervals
AMSOIL ATF is a stable formulation that lasts longer in service than conventional ATFs. It maintains its viscosity, friction and lubricating properties for extended periods of time, even under severe conditions. AMSOIL ATF maximizes transmission performance and service life while
reducing maintenance costs through longer drain intervals
AMSOIL ATF is recommended for transmission, hydraulic and other applications requiring any of the following specifications:
GM DEXRON® II, III & VI
Ford MERCON®, MERCON® V & SP

ORIGINAL: 06GT4RAD
The Amsiol does not seem to list whatapplications it is suitable for like the Redline does.
