Sunoco Inc., Philadelphia, PA
Purchased in: Sunoco A-Plus, Edison, NJ
Date of purchase: 1/17/2012
NOTE - The Sunoco Multi-Purpose ATF label states that the product is recommended for transmissions where Dexron III or Mercon is recommended. PQIA's test results for this sample exceed the Dexron III and Mercon specification for Brookfield Viscosity @ -40°C of 20,000 cP maximum. It should be noted, however, that the Brookfield test reproducibilty is 1,850 cP.
