Question on maintenance

[bhybhoy]

I had my oil changed at Motech after Yojin. Just last week cost me just a little over P2,500. Filter, oil flushing fluid and 4L Zic oil. Opted out of coolant top ups and washer fluid) (I do that myself anyway).

Yes. Motech San Jose Del Monte, Bulacan. Pricing should be the same for all branches.

It says lifetime, but do it when you've clocked 80-100k.

Most casas I've been to usually don't have the 'dialysis' machine to suck out and replace all of the ATF, including the amounts in the input/ output lines leading to the radiator and back. SOP lang ata nila drain and fill.

Big gas stations have the machine and you can see the fluid really coming out so you have a good idea if the fluid is really changed. JMHO, go for the dialysis method if you can.

i believe, drain method is cheaper and better, than dialysis method.

I was told it was always better to have all of the fluid replaced when needed Doc, instead of leaving a portion of the old fluid, along with any particles, metal shavings, residue inside the lines/ tranny.

Wrong info?

It depends. In some cars the sump is lower than the drainplug. In my case about 2 liters are still left after draining.

i think we said the same thing, but using different words.

is this one of those models, where removing the sump cover is the recommended procedure?

[sparc179]

But with the drain and fill method, you can't drain the hoses and lines leading to and from the radiator where the ATF gets cooled during usage.

Depending on the vehicle, there could still be a liter or more fluid left inside those hoses/ lines.

The point of flush, aka dialysis, is convenient total fluid refresh. No dirty pan drop. The downside? Flushing really dirty old fluid can risk mixing up settled debris in areas they shouldn't be. We have no way of knowing how various dialysis equipments move fluid... opposite or along the transmission's normal operating fluid flow direction. Opposite won't be good. And...you can't change the filter.
An OCD would do both. Flush & drop the pan. Who would want new fluid running thru the old filthy filter?[emoji4]

Pan drop removes about a 3rd of the old fluid. You can drop, drive & repeat til you see clean.

Unless the pan drop method is not possible Master Trav? Last time I had my unit's oil changed, I saw right away that the tranny did not have a pan, just a drain plug.

It had a 'plate' on the front of it with an access hatch where one could check the level of the fluid during maintenance.

There's that. Drain/fill or flush.

if you can't drop the pan, then you do not have that option.
you can do only what you can do.
