Shifting is out, shifting is in: Automatic transmissions are all the rage. The automatic transmission service can therefore be an important and profitable service component for you. MAHLE makes your entry into transmission oil service simple and easy. We provide you with a complete package including the MAHLE FluidPRO® ATX 190/250/280 flushing units with adapters, a wide range of transmission oil filters in original equipment quality and comprehensive training from the experts. The flushing process is fully automatic for all units - without any manual intervention - simple, safe, professional.
The entry-level ATX 250 and ATX 280 appliances impress with their low price and ease of use - for a lucrative gear oil service. With both devices, the flushing process runs fully automatically - without any manual intervention. Once the flushing process is complete, the hoses are also cleaned - also automatically. The numerous adapters cover around 80 percent of the standard automatic transmissions on the market. Both devices hold 25 liters of transmission fluid (ATF) and have a 500 milliliter container for additives. A drainage grille for the oil pan and a practical hose drain simplify the work. Both devices detect the flow direction of the transmission fluid in the transmission fully automatically.
FluidPRO® ATX 250 and 280 change up to 100 percent of the oil in just one pass. This reduces the service time to just 5 to 10 minutes. Both devices include a vehicle database as well as step-by-step instructions. And if there is a serious problem, a MAHLE technician can connect to the unit via Remote Service and quickly provide technical assistance.
The ATX 280 station has a 7-inch color touch display and can be connected to your network via WLAN to update the firmware and database. You can also print a final report directly from the workshop PC as proof for your customer. With the ATX 250, this works via a USB stick. The ATX 280 also has an additional hose for draining the used oil, a boost function for faster oil replacement and a high replacement rate, as well as a drip tray where the remaining oil can be weighed.
MAHLE FluidPRO® ATX 190 has been specially developed and approved for Mercedes-Benz automatic transmissions. The approval means that the device works 100 percent in accordance with the vehicle manufacturer's specifications. And that means a lot when it comes to flushing automatic transmissions in Mercedes-Benz vehicles. The MAHLE FluidPRO® ATX 190 works exactly according to the manufacturer-specific cleaning process: complete oil replacement, step-by-step instructions, flushing with oil only (no additives), oil type purity and permanent filter monitoring are the most important criteria.
Mercedes, for example, specifies a transmission oil change interval of 60,000 kilometers for the 5-speed automatic transmission 722.6 and the 7G-Tronic automatic transmission 722.9. The FluidPRO® ATX 190 is therefore exactly the right device for you if you have many Mercedes-Benz vehicles in your customer fleet and want to work strictly according to the vehicle manufacturer's specifications.
For a professional automatic transmission service with a complete oil change, you also need the right equipment and high-quality transmission oil filters. Because just draining and refilling the oil is not enough these days.
Only 30 to 50 percent of the oil is changed during a static oil change, the rest - and therefore abrasion and dirt - remains in the transmission. This is why the FluidPRO® devices completely change the transmission oil.
It is also important to always change the transmission oil filter when changing the oil. This removes abrasion from the transmission and effectively protects it from damage. The MAHLE filter range in original equipment quality covers numerous car brands and vehicle types - and it is being continuously expanded. The benefit for your customers: a regular transmission oil change avoids expensive repairs, improves shifting behavior and extends the mileage of the automatic transmission.
