Lubegard Platinum Universal ATF Protectant 15 oz — converts Dexron/Mercon, reduces shudder

Lubegard 63016 Platinum Universal ATF Protectant is a 15 oz. concentrated treatment that converts many standard Dexron/Mercon ATFs into dealer-style OEM ATF performance while restoring and protecting transmission components.

Designed for professional shops and do-it-yourself technicians, this LXE-technology formula supplements or converts factory-fill fluids so they behave like friction-modified dealer ATFs from manufacturers such as Honda, Toyota and Mopar. It’s used both as a conversion additive for specific OEM ATFs and as an ongoing protectant to reduce noise, shudder and wear. Follow the manufacturer's conversion chart and dosing instructions to ensure correct application for your vehicle.

How does Lubegard Platinum Universal ATF Protectant convert ordinary ATF into dealer-style fluids?

The formula contains proprietary LXE and Synergol TMS molecules that change friction characteristics and additive balance in many Dexron/Mercon fluids, mimicking the behavior of specific OEM ATFs. This lets a single base transmission fluid meet the friction and shift control needs of a wider range of vehicles.

• Adds friction modification to standard Dexron/Mercon ATF
• Tightens shift cycles and lockup behavior without losing friction control
• Compatible with many OEM specifications—use the Lubegard conversion chart
• Not for Ford Type F ATF or continuously variable transmissions (CVTs)

What immediate benefits should I expect after adding this product?

You can expect quicker relief from transmission shudder, reduced slipping and quieter operation shortly after treatment when the dosing is correct. The product is also formulated to free sticky valves and restore depleted additive packages in worn or low-performance fluids.

• Reduces shudder and torque converter vibration
• Restores smoothness to shift feel and reduces noise
• Frees stuck valves and improves hydraulic control
• Helps extend fluid life and resists foaming and oxidation

Is Lubegard safe for my transmission and which fluids should I avoid?

Lubegard was developed to avoid harmful components like ZDDP/ash that can upset modern transmission designs and yellow metals. It does not change the sulfur balance in ATF and is formulated to protect seals and prevent overheating when used correctly.

• Will not harm yellow metals or alter crucial sulfur balance
• Conditions seals and O-rings to reduce leaks
• Inhibits oxidation and foaming to protect fluid integrity
• Do not use with Ford Type F fluids or in CVT gearboxes

How do I measure and add Lubegard 63016 to my vehicle?

Use the Lubegard ATF Conversion & Refill Chart to identify correct dosing and compatible conversions. For typical protectant use, add one ounce per quart (29.6 mL per liter) of total transmission capacity with the engine idling in park; do not overfill.

• Check the conversion chart for OEM matches and capacity
• Add 1 oz per quart (29.6 mL per liter) of total capacity
• Top up with engine idling, then verify fluid level; avoid overfilling
• Use as directed by transmission repair guidelines and technician bulletins

Who is this for: Lubegard 63016 Platinum Universal ATF Protectant is suited to professional transmission shops, independent mechanics and experienced vehicle owners who need a reliable conversion or supplement to factory ATF. It’s particularly useful when dealer-only ATFs are required but unavailable, when restoring degraded additive packages, or when addressing shudder and shift quality concerns—provided the vehicle is compatible (not Ford Type F or CVT). Always consult the Lubegard conversion chart and your vehicle manufacturer guidelines before use.
