In one of our recent articles, we described in detail about for mechanical and automatic transmissions. Today we will tell about one of them, which is recommended to use as a lubricant not only for gearbox, but also all-wheel drive transmissions, power steering. Speech - about Dexron's service fluid (dextro or dexron).
What is dexron
Speaking of transmission fluids, it should be noted that some car manufacturers We have developed their own tolerances and standards for these oils, which subsequently became generally accepted characteristics for companies specializing in the production of technical fluids for cars. Common Motors can be attributed to them, which in 1968 released the first transmission fluid for automatic transmissions ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) of their cars. This product, marketers of the company gave the name DEXRON, which was a registered trademark for a group of technical specifications of transmission fluids for automatic transmission. Under it, General Motors and other manufacturers of technical fluids and to this day produce transmission oils for the "automatic machine" boxes.
The original liquid Dextrone has been produced since 1968, but four years later, General Motors was forced to stop its production. The reasons were two: weak technical properties and ... protest of the defenders of nature. The fact is that in the composition of Dextro-B manufacturing company, the company used savory savings oil, which served as a friction modifier (friction modifier). Since whales are counted for the endangered species of wild animals, in the USA in 1973, the Endangered Species Act law was published, according to which it was forbidden to use any substances of rare flora and fauna in the production of industrial and food products.
The second reason is a purely technical. Whale oil has not kept high temperatures that have developed when the automatic transmissions manufactured in the 1970s and losing their basic properties as a friction modifier. Therefore, the management of the General Motors concern decided to develop a different formula for dextro, without whale oil.
So in 1972, a new DEXRON II transmission fluid appeared on the market, as part of which jojoba oil was used as the friction modifier. But this product was imperfect: its components caused corrosion parts of automatic transmissions GM. To avoid this, corrosive inhibitors - additives, overwhelming the appearance of rust on the details and automatic transmission nodes began to add to the liquid. Dextron with such additives was called IID, and its entry to the market took place in 1975. As in the case of its predecessor, Dexron IID was far from perfect: the corrosive inhibitor added to its composition provoked hygroscopicity of the transmission fluid - it actively absorbed water vapor from the air and quickly lost its work properties quickly. That is why Dextrone IID stopped using in cars with hydraulic systems.
Further evolution of Dextroe was a liquid under labeling IIE, which was produced from the late 1980s to 1993. Its producer made new chemical additives that allowed to avoid excessive dextro hygroscopicity. Differences between Dexron IID and DEXRON IIE - in their basis: the first is mineral, and the second is synthetic. Due to its synthetic "base", Dextrone IIE has the best performance characteristics - retains optimal viscosity at low temperatures and has an increased period of work.
1993 was marked by the appearance of a new product in the market of transmission oils - DEXRON III.
It was the latest development of General Motors, distinguished from the predecessor with its improved friction properties and viscosity (at low temperatures, it is better to maintain fluidity and the ability to lubricate the PPC nodes). That is why this ATF is recommended for use in countries where in winter the air temperature drops below 30 degrees Celsius. This liquid today uses many automakers and while refueling automatic transmissions of their models. The advantage of this transmission fluid is its ability to be optimally interacted with oils, which were developed by GM earlier - the same dextrone IID, IIE, IIS, and even dextro-B, and replace them.
In 2005, General Motors presents a new generation of transmission fluid Dextrone - VI, which was specifically designed for operation in a new sixdia-band automatic gearbox Hydra-Matic 6L80.
The mechanism of interaction was changed in this checkp. gear ratiosIn which the surfaces of the clutch nodes were associated directly, without the "mediator" as a rubber buffer. This allowed to reduce the loss of torque when transmitting it to the master axis, avoid failures during the transition from step to the step. To optimally perform these functions, a transmission fluid was required, characterized by a low degree of viscosity, improved lubricating properties, high resistance to foaming and corrosion. She has become the working fluid Dextrone VI.
The concern completely switched to this liquid for the automatic transmission of its cars at the end of 2006, although many manufacturers technical oils Until now, the third dextro is, as well as Dextrone IID and IIe. GM itself no longer regulates and does not confirm the quality operational liquidsreleased under this standard.
The honors from the "sixth" dextron from the "third" has become its lower kinematic viscosity - a maximum of 6.5 centistoks at a temperature of 100 degrees Celsius, while dextrone III at the same temperature it is 7.5 centistoks. Reduced degree kinematic viscosity Allows the transmission fluid to reduce friction losses, which leads to increased fuel efficiency. Also, this transmission fluid has an increased service life, which I was assigned to the term "unplaced". This is incorrect, as Dextrone VI is also inclined to aging, but it is necessary to replace it less often than the same DextroN III (on average, 7-8 years after the start of operation of the car). With a list of all licensed General Motors manufacturers of transmission fluid Dextrone VI can be found.
Where dexron applies
Currently under the labeling dexron transmission fluids are widely used in lubrication systems of various nodes and car mechanisms. If in the first half of the twentieth century dextro was mainly used as working fluid For automatic gearboxes, today the spectrum of its application has expanded.
DEXRON AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID (ATF) - In the automatic transmission of cars produced after 2006. Contains a wide list of components: viscosity modifiers, antiposed, anti-corrosion, antioxidant and other additives, surfactants that are purified and protect metal surfaces. Currently produce two types of such fluid: standard and HP (Hig H Performance). The latter is used in automatic transmission lubrication systems operating in extreme conditions.
Depending on which climatic conditions are operated with automatic transmission, in which Dextrone is used as a transmission fluid, General Motors recommends applying the following ATF:
- Dextrone IID - in countries where the air temperature in winter does not fall below -15 degrees Celsius
- Dextrone IIE - in countries where the air temperature in winter does not fall below -30 degrees Celsius
- Dextrone III - in countries where in the winter the temperature does not fall below -40 degrees Celsius.
- Dextrone VI - in countries where winter time The air temperature drops below -40 degrees Celsius.
Is it possible to mix different dextrone
This one of the most interested car enthusiasts of questions occurs when it comes to replacing obsolete transmission fluid. The original dextro manufacturer, General Motors, issued the following mixing and interchangeable recommendations on this. To mix, that is, to add to the already existing volume of transmission fluid "oil" with other technical characteristics can be only within the limits specified by the manufacturer of gearboxes. For example, the mixing of mineral dextron IID with synthetic dextronone IIE may occur, a chemical reaction may occur, which will result in precipitation of substances (this is addressed to additives) capable of worsening the performance of the fluid and harm the nodes and gearbox mechanisms. But the mineral dextro IID with Mineral Dextrone III can be mixed, but with a loaf on what additives uses the manufacturer in these liquids. After all, if the foundations of such ATF will not conflict, then additives can enter into a reaction, which will lead to a deterioration in the operational characteristics of the CAT.
Another thing with a mutual replacement of transmission fluids Dextrone: here the manufacturer's recommendations are clearer.
- DEXRON IID can be replaced by dexron IE in any types of gearboxes, since the efficiency of their friction modifiers is identical. But the reverse replacement of "transmission" Dextrone IIE to Dextrone IID is not recommended.
- DEXRON III. You can pour in the gearboxes of cars, where the DEXRON II transmission fluid has already been used. But only if the number of lowering the friction of modifiers in the composition of the original fluid was smaller than new fluid. Reference, that is, the "second" dextro instead of the "third" subject to these conditions - is prohibited.
- If the PPC equipment does not provide for a decrease in the friction coefficient, provided that the manufacturer has increased the efficiency of modifiers, then the replacement of dextron II to dextro III is not performed.
Conditions of operation of transmission fluids Dextrone
Whatever tolerances did not give manufacturers of transmission fluids, we advise you to listen to the recommendations of GENERAL MOTORS engineers and companies that produce automatic transmissions. The most important recommendation on which it is worth navigating is the labeling type "transmission" on oil probe Automatic transmission If DEXRON III is indicated there, then boldly pour into the system for the third dextro and only it. Why? Yes, because the adequate work of the gearbox during the transition from the recommended fluid to other you does not guarantee you. If you pour the automatic transmission fluid into the automatic transmission, sad consequences may come. Let's call the most common of them:
- the transition from the stage to the step can become longer due to slipping of the clutch discs. Wine everything - different from the manufacturer recommended by the manufacturer (low or high friction properties of a newly spilled ATF). An increase in the transmission time, the so-called "failures", threaten increased fuel consumption;
- disruption of the smooth gear shift. It occurs due to an increase in the formation of the working pressure of the transmission fluid. There is also a problem in the friction properties of different in the composition of dextro. It may lead to the failure of friction discs, and, as a result, repair automatic transmission.
Hydraulic steering amplifier is designed to make easier control, as well as extinguish vibrations and shocks that come to the steering wheel. So that he served for a long time and worked stably, it is necessary to regularly change the oil in it and follow its quality. The article discusses oil dextro, including dextro 3 for the Gora, is given by their description, dignity and disadvantages.

Fluid description
The steering amplifier design consists of several mechanisms that are visible in the diagram.
The entire mechanism is washes special hydrolysis (PSF).
It has the following functions:
- transmits pressure from the pump to the piston;
- has a lubricating effect;
- has anti-corrosion properties;
- cooling units and mechanisms of the unit.
Which circulates B. closed loopThe pressure generated is transmitted from the pump to other assemblies of the unit. When high pressure in the pump is created, the PSF enters the low pressure zone where the pistons of the GRC are located. The cylinder is connected to the rack of the steering wheel with the spool. Depending on the position of the steering wheel, the spool sends the oil by simply turning the steering wheel.
An important function of PSF is the removal heat removal from the mechanisms. In addition, performing the role of lubricant, reduces friction between moving nodes. Anti-corrosion additives are not allowed to form rust inside the mechanism.
Structure
PSF is divided into three types:
- mineral;
- semi-synthetic;
- synthetic.
Mineral contains 97% of naphthenes and paraffins, the rest - additives that attach certain properties. Semi-synthetic contains both mineral and synthetic components. They have a longer service life and the best operational characteristics. Synthetic PSF contain polyesters, oil fractions that are cleaned with hydrocracking, as well as polyhydric alcohols. In addition, there are additives that improve its properties.
The PSF includes the following additives:
- to reduce friction between the details;
- against corrosion processes;
- stabilizing viscosity;
- stabilizing acidity;
- giving color;
- preventing foaming;
- to protect details from rubber.
When choosing an oil in GUR, attention should be paid to the composition and specifications (by video author - Vladislav Chikov).

Interchangeability and mixability
The manufacturer has introduced the qualification of fluid in the GUR in color by adding painting pigments to their composition: red, yellow and green. Red oils in Gur are being developed according to the standards of the General Motors concern, they are called dextro.
Today, the dextrone 3 and Dextrone are used. Dextrone 3 The parent company does not produce, other license companies are engaged in production. The second type of dextro is made by both the parent company and manufacturers that have a license.
Yellow oil produces Daimler concern. Mostly they are used in Mercedes. Under the license of Daimler PSF yellow, the company produces third-party firms.
Green liquids are produced by the German concern Pentosin. Popularities are popular with Peugeot, Vag, Citroen et al. Models.
It is impossible to mix hydrolynes that have different chemical composition: mineral water, semi-synthetic and synthetics.
It is possible to mix the liquids of one color only if they have a similar chemical composition. You can mix PSF 2 colors: red and yellow. The oil for a green gur should not be mixed with red or yellow, as they have a different chemical basis. Therefore, among themselves you can mix only green liquids.
Question price
The price of liquids for hydraulic steering It is very different. Original products are always more expensive.
Video "Oil for power steering"
This video gives an overview of PSF Dextrone III (author of the roller - Nik86 auto-construction).
Steering with a hydraulicer greatly facilitates the process of managing the car. But GUR, like every other car system, requires maintenance. For example, the hydraulic steering fluid does not always retain the constancy of the level. And in order to add liquid into the hydraulicel, you need to know which oil you can pour there.
First of all, you should find out what oil recommends pouring a manufacturer of your car. Well, in case there is no lack of such an oil, it would be nice to have an idea of \u200b\u200bwhat can be replaced. Most car enthusiasts distinguish the fluid of the hydraulic fluid in color. To evaluate how true the separation of oils on this basis, I propose to look back. In the first boxes of automata used the usual mineral motor oilThat was tinted in red so that the color of the oil puddles can immediately determine the source of leakage.
Oil composition for gur
The hydraulic fluid is an oil with certain properties that give it a different kind of additive. Despite the fact that more than 90% of its composition falls on the basis of which other oils, mineral or synthetic. Its quality is so much changed by additives that without them it will not be able to provide normal work Hydrauscitel. In any hydraulic fluid, the following additives include:
- Antifriction.
- Viscosity stabilizers. They are then needed so that the oil does not make too thick at low temperatures or excessively liquid at high.
- Suppressor of foaming. Foam is formed when the oil is mixed with air. And since the air differs from the fluid in that it can be compressed, the foamed oil is much worse transfers the pressure generated by the pump on the hydraulic cylinder piston. Once the oil foams, the force generated by the GUR will decrease so much that it will be equivalent to its partial abandonment. This additive impairs the ability of the base to hold the air.
- Corrosion moderator.
- Antioxidant base.
- Paint substances.
The hydraulic fluid during the operation of this unit performs the following functions: transmission of working pressure from the pump to the piston of the hydraulic cylinder, heat removal, as well as lubrication of rubbing parts. Protection of system parts from corrosion. 
Interchangeability
Oil for GUR (with the Marking of PSF OIL) of Japanese and American production can be mixed with each other if they have the same type of base. Mineral with mineral, and synthetic with synthetic, etc. Contrary to common delusion among motorists mineral oils Do not react with synthetic. But sometimes when they are mixed, there are cases of excessive foaming of the mixture. The main difference in synthetics from mineral water for GUR consists in their different impact on rubber parts. Synthetic behaves with respect to rubber more aggressively. Therefore, if the GUR is intended for use in it synthetics, then you can fill the mineral water.
Which basis of the working fluid GUR is better
Taking into account the above, you can make one conclusion - the car owner has no choice in which oil (synthetic or mineral water) pour into the GUR. This choice for it is made by a car manufacturer.
Difference oils PSF and ATF
Oils for GUR (PSF) and for automata (ATF) differ only to the presence of the last additives against slipping and wear of frictional. Therefore, with an insufficient level in the tank of the hydraulicer and the absence of a suitable PSF liquid, the best option to make an oil for an automatic box having the same basis as recommended for your GUR.
DEXRON and its applications
The history of liquids with such a name began in 68 of the last century, when the American concern General Motors mastered the release of unprecedented to this product - transmission oil for automatic transmissions of transmission produced by them. The company's marketers called it dexron. Somewhat later, this name has registered as a trademark of transmission fluids for automatic transmission transmissions. Under this GM brand and other liquids manufacturers for automatic transmissions, transmission oils for automatons are produced to this day, and now not only for them. And so that you do not think that any dextro can pour into the waterwasher here is a list of liquids produced under this brand in our days:
When oil replaced in the hydraulicel
Most auto manufacturers assure their buyers that the liquid is poured into the GUR for the entire service life of the car and there is no need for its periodic replacement. Therefore, it must be changed only in two cases: after eliminating the consequences of the pump breakage or after the water from entering it, for example, when overcoming water barriers. Emulsion will tell you about entering the water system under the lid of the hydraulic tank. And in both cases you need to wash the filter located in the tank. It is better to make it better by the White spirit or a liquid similar to it.
In reality, the fluid GUR is better to change every 90 thousand km. or 5 years of operation.
Stable, long and efficient operation of the hydraulic car steering amplifier is guaranteed to a timely replacement of fluid for GUR and compliance with the rules of operation. The existing compositions are different from each other not only by color, but also the main characteristics: drig, density, composition and other hydraulic indicators.
