Can you suggest alternatives to the OEM Mitsubishi ATP SP III?

[roydok]

Hi. Can you suggest an alternative Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) brand other than the OEM Mitsubishi ATF that is the same spec (Mitsubishi ATF SP III) and is locally available in the Philippine market? The current ATFs being sold locally the last time I checked (i.e Petron, Caltex, Shell, Castrol, etc...) only meet the Dexron III spec and not the Mitsubishi ATF SP III spec.

Thanks.

I am in the same dillema din. Nung nag tanong ako sa ATCO Pasay, sabi sa akin ng saleslady na parehas lang daw ang Dexron 3 sa SP3. Ang pinagkaiba lang daw, synthetic daw ang SP3 while mineral lang ang Dexron 3. I also posted a thread about this dun sa Transmission Thread, no feedbacks though.

I still have 1500 kms pa naman before changing it.

Eneos ECO ATF, pero wala pa ako nakikitang ganito sa mga hardwares.

I recall Dexron III is different from the Mitsubishi DiaQueen ATF SP-III required by our Mitsubishi A/Ts. I'm kinda hoping a cheaper alternative brand with the same spec is available locally.

Damn, I dont know who to believe haha.
I tried searching sa net last saturday and compared Shell Spirax S3 ATF MD3 with Eneos ECO ATF. Medyo may difference sa viscosity and flash point. I believe yung SP is a low viscous oil.

May nakita din ako before na Total Extra Long Drain ATF. Ewan ko lang din kung available locally sir. Hindi pa ako nakaka visit sa Total Gas stations e.

If wala available, prices from ATCO would be 550/L Mitsubishi brand and 750/L Diaqueen brand.

BTW, I am using Dexron 2 ATF in our Hyundai which also requires SP3. No issues naman after 20K kms.
Papalitan na ng ATF Dexron 3 this Saturday.

Hope this helps Sir.

I've checked the Total Asia Pacific website but the Total Extra Long Drain ATF (meets Mitsubishi SP3) is not in its list. Eneos Eco- ATF is also not in the official product list as shown in their Philippine website. Both oil companies only offer Dexron III spec ATF. I guess if there are no alternatives then I'll just stick with OEM.

I recently bought the OEM at P500/L.
Shop sells only OEM Mitsubishi parts & supplies.
Sorry, can't recall the name of the shop right now but it is located directly across Jose Rizal University at Shaw Blvd., Mandaluyong.

If within that area, Shaw Merchandising might be that shop. HTH. Good pm.

Castrol Transmax ATF is Diamond SP III rated sir. P328 dito sa amin, kahapo ako nag-inquire eh. Iba nga lang bottle niyan vs sa site na yan sa baba, golden siya.

Pero Caltex Texamatic 1888 puwede na din IMO. Some casa uses Mobil 220 ATF pa nga.
