About this file
This document is a Voith Turbo Service Bulletin (#118AD) issued January 1, 2020, providing technical specifications and operational guidance for approved transmission fluids compatible with DIWA.5, DIWA.6, and DIWA hybrid transmissions used in North American applications. The bulletin establishes two categories of approved oils: Preferred Approved Oils listed in Appendix A, which include products from manufacturers such as Amalie, Amsoil, BP, Castrol, Chevron, Citgo, Exxon Mobil, Fuchs, Gulf, Kuwait Petroleum, Petro-Canada, Phillips 66, Shell, Valvoline, and Volvo Group, and Permitted Oils listed in Appendix B for previously approved products no longer in active production or undergoing recertification. The bulletin specifies that end users must use only oils from the approved lists to maintain transmission warranties, with drain intervals ranging from 36,000 to 108,000 miles depending on the specific oil product and base type (synthetic or mineral).
The document establishes an approval and recertification process requiring oil manufacturers to submit completed data sheets, one-pint base samples, and comprehensive laboratory analysis reports covering viscosity, acid numbers, and elemental composition to Voith Turbo for evaluation. Oils on Appendix A must be recertified within two-year periods; those failing to complete recertification are transferred to Appendix B. For warranty coverage of units using fluids with drain intervals exceeding 36,000 miles, Voith requires oil sampling and analysis at 18,000-mile intervals using Voith-approved analysis kits, with results compared against established standards in Service Bulletin 4x. The bulletin explicitly prohibits modifications to approved oils regarding base oil, additive packages, or component additions, and reserves Voith's right to remove oils from approval lists without liability for end-user losses from discontinued products or market changes.

DIWA Service Bulletin Service Bulletin #118AD Issued Date: January 1, 2020
Replaces Service Bulletin #118AC Revised Date: January 1, 2020
DIWA SB11AD
Subject: Oils Approved for Use with the following DIWA Transmissions: DIWA.5, DIWA.6 and DIWA hybrid.
Purpose: This service bulletin provides certain operating, maintenance and service instructions relating to the oils that must be used in connection with the DIWA transmissions described above.
Note: This service bulletin addresses DIWA transmissions operated by end users within North America. This service bulletin does not affect any of the matters described in the following Voith Turbo documents (which address matters relevant for certain transmissions operated by end users outside of North America): 55.6335.32 & 55.6336.32 & G607.
This service bulletin refers to DIWA Transmission DIWA.5 and .6 and
DIWAhybrid.
This service bulletin supersedes all previous service bulletins regarding the same subject matter.
SELECTION AND USE OF PROPER TYPES OF OILS
General: The use of certain types of oil in connection with the DIWA transmissions may result in damage to the transmissions and related equipment. This service bulletin provides important instructions with respect to the selection and use of proper types of oils in connection with the DIWA transmissions.
Preferred
Oils: End users should use the oils described on Appendix A (Preferred Approved Oils for the Voith DIWA Transmission) in connection with the DIWA transmissions. Voith Turbo approved the use of the oils described on Appendix A based on information submitted by the oil manufacturer within the two-year period preceding the date of this service bulletin (or update to this service bulletin).
Permitted
Oils: If the use of the oils described on Appendix A is not feasible, then end users may use the oils described on Appendix B (Inactive Approved Oils for the Voith DIWA Transmission). The oils described on Appendix B were previously listed on Appendix A, but have been removed from Appendix A because either
(a) Voith Turbo has learned that the oils are no longer produced by the applicable oil manufacturer or (b) the applicable oil manufacturer has not completed the recertification process with respect to the oils within the two-year period preceding the date of this service bulletin (or update to this service bulletin).
Service Bulletin #118AD Issued Date: January 1, 2020
Replaces Service Bulletin #118AC Revised Date: January 1, 2020
DIWA SB11AD
Change
List: End users should review Appendix C (Change List – Approved Oils for the Voith DIWA Transmission). Appendix C describes the oils, if any, that Voith Turbo has removed from Appendix A or Appendix B since the date of the previous update to this service bulletin.
Impact on
Warranty: End users are instructed to avoid the use of any type of oil that is not described on Appendix A or Appendix B in connection with the DIWA transmissions. Neither Voith Turbo nor any of its affiliates will have any liability or responsibility for any damage, loss or other claim arising from the use of any oil that is not described on Appendix A or Appendix B in connection with the DIWA transmission.
Oil Supply: The oil market is subject to rapid changes due to frequent changes of approval numbers and the associated reformulations of oils. End users should note that Voith Turbo may remove oils from Appendix A and/or Appendix B for any or no reason, including as a result of changes in the oil market, when end users are making decisions regarding oil supply or purchase commitments. Neither Voith Turbo nor any of its affiliates will have any liability or responsibility for any loss or other claim arising from any change made to Appendix A and/or Appendix B, including any loss or other claim relating to any end user’s purchase of oils that are removed from Appendix A and/or Appendix B.
Oil
Changes: If an end user wishes to change the type of oil that it is using in connection with a DIWA transmission (to an oil described on Appendix A or Appendix B), then the end user should cause all storage tanks and associated fluid handling equipment to be thoroughly cleaned to remove all traces of the previously used oil.
APPROVAL/RECERTIFICATION PROCESS
Set forth below is an overview of the approval/recertification process that Voith Turbo generally will use to determine whether an oil may be described on Appendix A. If an end user wishes to use an oil that is not described on Appendix A or Appendix B, then the end user may request the applicable oil manufacturer to comply with the process described below and Voith Turbo will determine whether it is willing to add the oil to Appendix A. Importantly, Voith Turbo will move an oil from Appendix A to Appendix B if an oil manufacturer fails to comply with the process described below with respect to the oil at least once during every two-year period.
1. The oil manufacturer must fill out the Data Sheet for Automatic Transmission Oils
(150.00364110_1.0). This form may be obtained by contacting the DIWA Road service department at Voith Turbo.
Note: All Information must be filled out completely, or the application will be returned without further action on the part of Voith Turbo.
Service Bulletin #118AD Issued Date: January 1, 2020
2. The oil manufacturer must submit a one pint base sample of the oil that is being evaluated.
3. The oil manufacturer must submit a laboratory analysis report for the one pint base sample.
The analysis must cover the following criteria:
Acid Number (ASTM D664 mod)
Viscosity at 40 and 100 deg C, Element data in ppm (Fe, Al, Cr, Cu, Pb, Sn, Ni, Ag, Si, Na, B, Zn, P, Ca, Mg, Ba, Mo, K).
IF analysis report of sample.
4. After its review of the information submitted by the oil manufacturer, Voith Turbo will notify the oil manufacturer whether the oil will be described on Appendix A.

* Oil sampling and analysis of the ATF from each unit under warranty must occur at 18,000 mile (29,000 KM) intervals with the samples being taken prior to the oil change. Sampling must be performed using Voith oil analysis kit part number 304012201 exclusively. The use of any other laboratory and or sampling kits will limit the drain interval to 72,000 miles. Based on the results of testing Voith may advise the customer to return to a 72,000 mile drain interval. The failure to follow Voiths’ instructions to reduce the drain interval will result in reduced warranty coverage in the event of an ATF related failure as determined by Voith. For additional information please refer to the section “Important Warranty requirement for fluid intervals beyond 36,000 miles “ in this document.

Important Warranty requirement for fluid intervals beyond 36,000 miles
For units that are covered by Voith warranty and are using fluids that have a drain interval in excess of 36,000 miles Voith has the following requirements in order to maintain the existing warranty.
1. Oil sampling and analysis of the ATF from each unit under warranty must occur at 18,000 mile (29,000 KM) intervals with the samples being taken prior to the oil change.
Note: these procedures are outlined in Voith Service Bulletin 25…
2. Analysis results must be compared to the standards set in Voith Service Bulletin 4x
If irregularities are found in the oil sample results, that is, the results are outside the limits set forth in Voith DIWA Service Bulletin 4x you will need to decrease your drain intervals.
3. If irregularities continue in future oil samples, your oil analysis company or Voith may suggest a course of action. These suggestions should be followed and if not already done, you should also contact the Voith DIWA service department for additional information and direction. This may include pulling the oil pan and conducting a bottom end inspection of the transmission or other diagnostic measures.
4. In the event there is a warrantable failure of the transmission, Voith Turbo Inc may require the following information for failure evaluation and warranty claim processing.
A copy of the current oil analysis report along with copies of the past three analysis reports. Voith may also require copies of ALL oil analysis reports.
Information regarding oil type (Company name, Product name and approval number).
The approval number is the licensing number provided by GM or Ford Mercon -V®.
If these records or the required information cannot or will not be presented to Voith upon request, Voith reserves the right to limit or deny warranty coverage on the unit in question. This limitation or revocation of warranty coverage may also include the entire fleet.
