AMSOIL 100% SYNTHETIC ATV/UTV DUAL-CLUTCH TRANSMISSION FLUID

Confirm the Maverick R gearbox

The listed application is the Can-Am Maverick R dual-clutch transmission. Another machine may use a dual-clutch layout, but that only tells you the design family. It does not prove the fluid requirement, capacity, or level-check process matches this gearbox.

Check the model-year maintenance information before the drain plug moves. A Maverick R carries more than one fluid-filled housing, and each service point can have a different callout. Work by compartment instead of using the nearest bottle that says transmission on it.

Smooth out low-speed shudder

Dual-clutch transmissions can snap off fast shifts and still feel jumpy while you creep through rocks or back a trailer. This fluid is engineered for stable synchronizer engagement, which helps prevent shudder and keeps shifting fast, smooth, and quiet.

Low-speed work is where rough engagement gets old fast. Easing onto a trailer, crawling a washout, or inching around trees puts the synchronizers in the exact range where the wrong friction feel shows up. Use the fluid built for that engagement instead of chasing the problem later.

Hold a film under torque

Passengers, spare tire, tools, and throttle all add load to the gearset. Severe-duty operation can mechanically shear oil and thin the film between gears and bearings. This formula is built with outstanding film strength to resist extreme pressure in heavily loaded, high-torque service.

No four-ball wear scar is published for this fluid, so do not invent one for comparison shopping. The protection story here comes from the severe-service film-strength claim and the measured viscosity and temperature properties that tell you how the fluid behaves in use.

Check heat and cold specs

Kinematic viscosity is 38.7 cSt at 40°C and 7.6 cSt at 100°C under ASTM D445, with an ASTM D2270 viscosity index of 170. Those numbers matter once the case is hot and the gears are carrying real load rather than spinning free on a stand.

Brookfield viscosity is 8,900 cP at -40°C under ASTM D2983, and the ASTM D97 pour point is -56°C (-69°F). Flash and fire points are 228°C (442°F) and 242°C (468°F) under ASTM D92. Read those as lab and handling data, not permission to overheat the gearbox.

AUDCTQT-EA is the single quart and AUDCTQT-CA is the case of twelve. Follow the original equipment manufacturer's oil change recommendation, use the model-year capacity, and recycle used fluid. Warranty Secure coverage and the AMSOIL Limited Warranty (G1105) apply.
