How to use Trans Tune in hydraulic fluid

HOW TO USE TRANS TUNE
IN HYDRAULIC FLUID

BENEFITS

Helps fluid systems work smoother and last longer

Helps restore shift quality

cleans sticky varnish from PRESSURE VALVES and HYDRAULIC PUMPS

HELPS MANAGE MOISTURE IN FLUID

SAFE FOR USE IN ALL PETROLEUM-BASED HYDRAULIC FLUID

DOES NOT HARM GASKETS and O-RINGS OR SWELL SEALS

DIRECTIONS

Add one pint (16 oz.) of TRANS TUNE for every 4 gallons of hydraulic fluid.

For pre-flush cleaning of old fluid, operate TRANS TUNE-treated hydraulic systems at least 30 minutes before draining.

DO NOT EXCEED ONE TREATMENT PER FLUID INTERVAL.

DO NOT USE IN BRAKE SYSTEMS.

SUMMARY

Every petroleum fluid system is prone to erratic and rough performance caused by gum, varnish, and moisture. Trans Tune works fast to dissolve harmful deposits and control the moisture that impairs fluid systems.

Trans Tune works in hydraulic fluid to clean sticky varnish from pressure valves and hydraulic pumps, and to help manage moisture in fluid. It’s safe for use in all types of petroleum-based hydraulic fluid and will not harm gaskets and O-rings or swell seals. Use as a conditioner or an excellent pre-flush cleaner!

RELATED QUESTIONS

I have a 2012 Ford Escape with 104,000 miles. I want to add Trans Tune as a conditioner, as I do not know the whole history of the vehicle. The trans fluid is full. Can I add the whole can and leave it in indefinitely?

Good question. Yes, you can add the whole thing and leave it in there until your next regularly-scheduled fluid change. It won’t hurt anything, and it will work to condition the fluid for as long as it’s in there.

Good question, Joe. Treat the system only once per fluid interval. If you’ve already added a can to the fluid, do not add another.

If you have fresh fluid that doesn’t have any Trans Tune added to it, you can add a can of Trans Tune.
