That’s why I stick to factory fluid when it comes time to change ATF in my cars.

My theory is that the formulas of different brand’s ATFs is slightly different, especially in terms of friction modifiers, which is critical in a traditional AT. Changing brands changes the shift feel of your AT from what you were used to...leading to complaints even if the AT is shifting fine, just differently.

which atf does your car asks for?

ano kaya mga sasakyan ang nag cocomplain? j have a feeling mali lng talaga nilalagay ng ibang shops when there was still no internet... walang reference to proper fluid for that car thats missing their owners manuals.

Don’t know what kind of cars had issues, but I decided to take their advice...can’t go wrong w OEM lubricants. So my Ford uses Motorcraft Mercon V and my Kia uses Zic XP-III. My Toyota still hasn’t had its ATF changed as casa says Toyota ATF WS is a lifetime oil...still might change at 40k km though. My Honda is new so haven’t thought about ATF change yet.

Yes, that is why I buy the oil myself from Lightning Automotive (they specialize in Ford/Chevy/FCA parts) and make sure it is Mercon V. What I mean is that as long as you use the correct OEM ATF your tranny is less likely to act up or feel different after a fluid change.

I have my doubts about any oil labeled as “lifetime fill”. In the US, Toyota vehicles that use WS are lifetime fill except if vehicle is used for towing, in which case they recommend changing at 60k miles. Since trannys are sealed, main culprit for ATF degradation is heat...interminable Metro Manila stop and go traffic makes your tranny run hot because of constant gear changes and prolonged idling time.

Basing by PDS ay hindi nagkakalayo ang spec ng Rev-X All Terrain na Group 3 vs Group 4

REV-X TURBO HTP
REV-X ALL-TERRAIN

May stock pa kasi ako nung Group 3 good for around a year or two kaya naging curious ako

What’s interesting about these oils is that they are supposedly made with Group IV PAO (polyalphaolefin) base oil. Same stuff that Mobil 1 uses. Most “Fully Synthetic” oils are actually Group III base oils made from highly refined crude oil that approaches performance level of PAO oils.

scouting online marketplaces pegs it at around php240 which is cheap
