Why does the transmission fluid SDS change with the brand?
Automatic fluids and manual transmission fluids are separate products with separate sheets, and a brand sells several of each. Lucas Multi-Vehicle Automatic Transmission Fluid, revised Sep 25, 2026, lists skin sensitization Category 1 and reproductive toxicity Category 2, with a Warning signal word. It is written to the HCS 2024 version of the standard, gives a flash point above 200 °C in Section 9 and says in Section 14 that the fluid is not regulated for transport under DOT, TDG, IMDG or IATA. A sheet for a fluid of another specification can list other classes.
The sheets below carry dates from Sep 25, 2026.

What should I read first on my sheet?
Match the sheet to the exact product on the container: an automatic fluid and a manual fluid are separate products, even from one brand. Lucas's multi-vehicle ATF lists skin sensitization and reproductive toxicity with a Warning signal word, so a fluid that looks routine can carry classes. Read Section 2 for them and Section 8 for the protection the sheet names.
What does your sheet set off under OSHA?
| If your sheet says | What follows | Paragraphs |

| Section 2 lists no classification | That sheet sets off none of these. The same name can carry another formula. | (29 CFR 1910.1200(c), (d)(1)) |
