  • Our take on the Redline D4 ATF

    Redline D4 ATF is a synthetic automatic transmission fluid built to cover a wide spread of older and import specs: Dexron II/III, Mercon and Mercon V, plus Toyota T-III/T-IV, Honda ATF-Z1, Nissan Matic D/J/K, Diamond SP-II/SP-III and Mazda ATF M-V. It also works in manual gearboxes and transaxles such as the T-5, T-45 and T-56, where Redline claims GL-4-level gear protection. Its selling point against ordinary Dexron/Mercon fluids is one bottle that covers many vehicles, including most BMW and Audi/VW automatics, with strong cold-weather flow. It suits owners of older or mixed-fleet vehicles who want a single fluid and are willing to pay more than basic mineral ATF.
