XADO Revitalizant EX120 for Automatic Transmission is a treatment that restores and protects the metal parts inside an automatic gearbox. You add one small syringe to the transmission fluid and drive as normal. It works in every type of automatic, including CVT, Tiptronic, Steptronic and DSG.

For most owners, the automatic gearbox is the part of the car they understand least and worry about most. It is sealed away, it is fiendishly complicated, and everyone has heard what a replacement costs. So when the changes start to feel a little less smooth, or a faint whine appears, the usual response is to turn up the radio and hope.

There is something better to do, and it is simple. Inside the gearbox, the gears, bearings and control valves all wear slowly with use. EX120 travels with the fluid to those parts and forms a ceramic-metal coating on their surfaces, restoring their shape and smoothing away surface defects. The coating also cushions the sudden loads that come with every gear change, and protects the parts if the fluid level ever runs low.

The first sign that it is working comes quickly: a quieter gearbox and smoother gear changes, from the first kilometres. The treatment is complete after 1,500 km.

It does not react with the transmission fluid or change its thickness, so the gearbox keeps the exact fluid behaviour it was designed for.

Why drivers choose it

It restores the metal parts of the gearbox and protects them from wear. It removes surface defects. It increases reliability and extends the life of the transmission. It cushions extreme loads. It protects the parts when the fluid level is low. It gives smoother gear changes and less noise. And it suits all types of automatic and semi-automatic gearbox, including CVT.

Made for cars like yours

Any car, SUV or pickup with an automatic gearbox: Toyota Fielder, Axio, Premio, Harrier, Noah and Prado; Nissan Note, Tiida, X-Trail and Serena; Mazda Demio, Axela and CX-5; Honda Fit and Vezel; Subaru Forester and Impreza; Mitsubishi Outlander; Volkswagen Golf and Tiguan with DSG; and Mercedes-Benz and BMW automatics.

It is a sensible step for a newly bought used car, since you cannot know how its gearbox was treated before. It also suits a gearbox whose changes have become less smooth, and any automatic you want to protect before problems begin.

For the best result, pair it with a fluid change using the correct XADO fluid for your gearbox: ATF III/IV/V, ATF VI+ or CVT.

A fair word of caution: Revitalizant restores worn metal surfaces. It cannot repair burnt clutches, a broken CVT belt or an electronic fault. If the gearbox is slipping, jerking badly or showing a warning light, have it diagnosed first.

Genuine XADO, straight from the source

Every pack we sell comes directly from XADO, with a security hologram on the box. Our Nairobi service centre can apply the treatment for you.

A new gearbox costs a small fortune. Looking after yours costs one syringe.

How to use

The transmission fluid should be clean, so apply the treatment after a fluid change or to fluid that is still in good condition.

Drive the car first so the gearbox is at its normal working temperature. Squeeze the contents of the syringe into the transmission fluid, through the dipstick tube or the filler opening. Then drive as normal.

Choose the number of syringes by the fluid capacity of the gearbox: one syringe for 5 to 8 litres, and two for 9 to 12 litres. Most car automatics fall in the first group.

The treatment is complete after 1,500 km or 50 hours of operation. It is compatible with all types of automatic transmission fluid, including Dexron, Mercon, Mopar and CVT fluids.
