1) Viscosity at 40C = 35.79 and at 100C = 7.3 - more like Toyota Type T-IV oil, it has the same viscosity characteristics. Viscosity cannot be called low like that of Toyota WS.
2) The viscosity index is high, which indirectly tells us that hydrocracking base oils are used.
3) Acid number = 1.43 - low, common for transmissions.
4) Pour point -44С - just as usual, for the winter climate of the European part of Russia, the very thing is also suitable for not cold regions of Siberia. In Yakutia, YNAO, KhMAO, of course, something lower temperature is better.
5) Corrosion on a copper plate at 120C \u003d 1b is a good rating for a temperature of 120C, the oil is safe for brass, bronze and copper automatic transmission parts, although it also characterizes the attitude towards other metals.
6) Brookfield viscosity at -40C = 20295 - for the coolest low-temperature transmissions (usually they have lower viscosity per operating one), this parameter is 10,000-12,000. Here is the middle.
7) The additive package is identical to Toyota Type T-IV oil, if you need to find a comparison in our summary tables in this section. Phosphorus as an antiwear additive. calcium as a detergent. Boron either as a dispersant or as an antiwear additive.
8) The Oxidation parameter indicates that esters have been added to the oil - they also reduce wear.
Conclusion: Good transmission for the price quality. The only thing, of course, is not for the fierce regions of Siberia, like Yakutia. Also, compatibility with Toyota Type WS is indirect here, this oil can be used as stated by the manufacturer, but with the caveat that you will not get that savings due to the higher viscosity. By the way, Petro-Canada Duradrive MV Synthetic also has such footnotes. Otherwise, everything is according to the standard, it is actually an analogue of Toyota Type T-IV and many other universal automatic transmission fluids. It's hard to say by composition without IR spectrum, but I think in terms of other parameters it's VHVI hydrocracking. It is also a plus that there are esters - that is, they did not save on oil.

Every year, equipped cars are gaining more and more popularity. Automatic transmission wins the hearts of not only women, but also men. Ease of use, as well as ease and comfort of driving - these are all the merits of an automatic transmission.
Most modern cars began to be equipped with Aisin units. But over time, these machines began to malfunction, and many owners have already encountered various problems several times during the operation of their vehicles. In this article, we will talk about the problems associated with Aisin aggregates and try to give advice on how to solve these issues. Also in the article we will provide several reviews of car owners whose cars are equipped with Aisin automatic transmission.
History and modifications
This wonderful Aisin machine was born in Japan. The units of this manufacturer were manufactured back in the sixties of the last century. The main advantages of these devices were considered to be small dimensions, as the engineers were able to fit the full potential of the box into a small case.
Of course, over time, these units have evolved and acquired new control systems, as well as control of the electronic unit. In modern modifications, there are completely new hydroblocks using new modern hydraulic valves, which are controlled by an electronic unit. Fluid couplings have also undergone changes, and now the blocking is activated at the request of the electronic "brains". Such characteristics made it possible to reduce acceleration to the first hundred and significantly reduced fuel consumption. Of course, such innovations and design complexity adversely affected the reliability of this unit.
Common malfunctions, causes and symptoms
The most common causes of a malfunction are the untimely replacement of Aisin AFW oil. Of course, with a run of 300 thousand kilometers, any automatic transmission will fail, but it happens that the Aisin box does not survive even the second hundred thousand kilometers. All this is due to untimely maintenance, as well as exposing the box to maximum loads. If Aisin is regularly allowed to slip, then his resource is reduced significantly.
If you operate this unit correctly and change the Aisin oil, for example, Aisin AFW, every 40 thousand kilometers or every three years, then this automatic device will serve its owner for many years.
The most common signs of breakdowns in this box are jerks at the time of switching from 4 to 5 speed. Of course, these symptoms also appear in the opposite direction, that is, when shifting from fifth to fourth gear. For these units, a jerk from first to second speed is the norm, so you should not worry. The main culprit of all breakdowns is considered to be the hydraulic control unit, in which the solenoids are built in, the on-board computer is responsible for their control. In the process of wear, metal-paper chips are formed inside the box, and if you do not change the oil for a long time, these chips clog the microfilters inside the solenoid. This results in a difficult passage of the oil flow, which leads to an accelerated wear process.
Another point of failure of the Aisin gearbox is wear, as well as the metal intermediate plates located between them. To get rid of this problem, you will have to completely sort out the unit and clean all parts from chips and other deposits.
The torque converter is also a weak link in these machines. The blocking disc inside the torque converter lives no more than 150 thousand kilometers, which leads to jerks and vibrations at the moment of movement.
Quite often there are Aisins, the wear of which was at the limit. As a result, these boxes could not quickly shift into the desired gear, and if this happened, then the shift was with a big blow. Fortunately, today there are all the necessary spare parts for the repair of these units.
Many experienced drivers know that these machines cannot be subjected to extreme loads, especially slipping or towing other vehicles.
Owner opinions
Alexander, city of Ufa, Volvo car
I bought my car almost new a few years ago, since then I have done several technical maintenance of the machine and filled in strictly Aisin ATF AFW oil. I have not found any problems with the box over the years of operation, the car behaves confidently, without a hint of wear. In general, I think the box is very successful, especially this unit pleases me in dense city traffic.
Egor, city of Kazan, Toyota car
I have long wanted to buy a Japanese car with a real Japanese machine. I consider my Toyota the best car for a small budget. On a run of 150,000 kilometers, I had to replace the valve body along with solenoids. Also the filter, after which the problems with jerks disappeared. Drove after repair for 60,000 kilometers, and the car behaves like new.
Nikolay, Tyumen city, Volkswagen car
Immediately after buying my car, I had to repair the box. Symptoms of breakdowns were huge jerks at the time of the transition from 3rd to 4th gear. At first I did not know about this problem, but after stalling in the snow, the car completely stood up dead weight. I had to call a tow truck and take the car to the service, where the masters, having disassembled the box, identified several breakdowns. I replaced the oil pump, valve body and 1 clutch pack, and also filled in new Aisin ATF6004 oil. Repair came out very expensive, but I do not regret it. Now I ride how I want.
Eugene, Khabarovsk city, Audi car
I have been driving my car for the fifth year already, during this time I had to repair the box three times. My car has a unit from the manufacturer Aisin, which is famous for its reliability. To my great amazement, these repairs did not cost me much, unlike other competitors. During the entire period of operation, I changed the oil three times and washed the valve body. At the moment, the car has a mileage of 200,000 kilometers, and it behaves completely adequately.
Summary
Summing up, we will draw some conclusions regarding this device. In general, the unit from Aisin can be considered a reliable machine. If you close your eyes to some design flaws and miscalculations, then this machine is able to easily move about 250 thousand kilometers. Of course, subject to timely maintenance and the use of only original oils and spare parts.
