Merged: ATF Qs

[dbulido]

Tips naman kung kelan dapat mag palit ng ATF. Ano ng mga signs? Thanks

[pajerokid]

Nakow! Wag mo nang antayin ang 'signs' na yan!!!

Basta follow a regular change schedule. eto lang magagawa mo from your end to maintain your AT.

Usually, good ATF smells sweet. Pag amoy sunog na, then its too late..... kelangan palitan agad.

Im not sure lang about the maintenance sched, pero the more you change it, the better. Why? kasi tuwing atf change, around 20-30% of the old atf still remains in the tranny.

Thanks Pajerokid yung signs ko parang sunog na nga amoy toasted bread, yari! mag kano ba pa palit ng ATF? may filter ba to na papalitan? Papalit na ako bukas.

[dbulido]

BTW Saan pala ok magpapalit ng ATF?

[paj4x4]

i agree with pajerokid have it changed asap especially if amoy sunog na.

i think recommended interval is 40,000km. but for my automatic tranny equipped vehicle i change the ATF every 25,000km

Sa suking gas station pwede na Ako sa local caltex lang.

anong ATF ang maganda para sa AT tranny?

[rlp1099]

Paj ATF and filter change every:
-12 months or 25,000 km

IF you use your ride under the ff:
-heavy traffic where outside temp regularly reaches 32 degrees C or higher
-in hilly or mountainous terrain
-frequent trailer pulling
-frequent off road
THEN change every22,500km

NOTE:
-ATF should be hot when changed
-Most models with drain plugs do not have filter-determine 1st your model to check if you need filter renewal
-

Use Dexron II or Mercon ATF

Capacity (approx.)
'86-earlier models 3.7 ltrs.
'87-later models 5.1 ltrs.

rlp1099,

thanks for the clarification. in this case i'll change the ATF earlier, around 20,000km.

although for my expedition last time i checked with the dealer they said 40,000km for the ATF change. hmmm...
