(Using Sea Foam®’s Trans Tune® in Petroleum and Synthetic Hydraulic Oils / Fluids / ATF’s)
As A Pre-Cleaner To Service, and As An After-Service Additive
Sea Foam®’s “Trans Tune®” was developed over 30 years ago to fill Automotive, Marine, Agricultural and Industrial needs for a CLEANER of OLD HYDRAULIC OIL RESIDUE and as a SAFE MOISTURE DRIER for systems using these hydraulic oils, automatic transmission fluids (ATF) and power steering fluids, in both petroleum-based and synthetic versions. Trans Tune® will NOT swell or harm seals in any way, and is NOT a stop-leak additive.
Trans Tune® safely removes atmospheric moisture absorbed by hydraulic oils (not liquid water - liquid water needs to be drained) by helping it to evaporate out from the hydraulic oil and vent to the atmosphere.
Trans Tune® is a 100% Petroleum product comprised of three specific oils, blended in just the right proportions to SAFELY perform its functions in all commonly used petroleum and synthetic based hydraulic oils / fluids such as basic automatic transmission fluids, power steering fluids, agricultural and industrial booms, hydraulic lifts and general purpose hydraulic oil / fluid systems.
Trans Tune® has a tested KV Rating of 30,000 Volts. This means Trans Tune®’s use in “special resistance” hydraulic fluids and oils (including special synthetics) that are commonly used in lift and boom assemblies by construction companies, fire department and electric companies, is RECOMMENDED to solve the moisture and old oil residue situations that occur and can eat up otherwise productive “billing or work time”. Trans Tune® was developed to help minimize these down times by providing a safe and effective product for use in ANY petroleum oil based or synthetic hydraulic oil.
In general, Sea Foam® recommends an average of 4 ounces of Trans Tune® for each gallon of hydraulic oil / ATF / power steering fluid capacity in the vented operating system you are treating. DOUBLE this amount for GEAR OILS.
****NOTE: An “average fluid capacity” automatic transmission would use 8 ounces Trans Tune® ( ½ Can), as a pre cleaner for sticky residue before doing service work (with a 10 minute full operating temperature test drive MINIMUM), or as an after service additive to liquify ATF residue and dry moisture.
****NOTE: An “average” power steering system would use 1 to 2 ounces Trans Tune®. A plow system on your pickup truck would use 4 ounces per gallon capacity.
