Reduction of friction and wear is very important to get the best fuel efficiency and reduce loss of engine power. In this study, the anti-friction and anti-wear characteristics of transmission oils, namely the D Service Part ATF3, Runs Forever ATF3 and Proton CVTF, were investigated and their friction and wear response at different operating condition with varying speeds and temperatures were measured. Wear scar diameter was viewed on computer by using specific wear scar measurement software. The results obtained show that the frictional torque, and coefficient of friction of Runs Forever ATF3 are lower than D Service Part ATF3 at low speed of 1000rpm, but they became higher when the speed increased up to 2000rpm. Frictional torque and coefficient of friction of Proton CVTF are lower than both of the ATFs. The wear scar diameter of Runs Forever ATF3 is lower than those of D Service Part ATF3 at 1000 and 1500 rpm.
