[Sirius Santos]

I feel your pain, sir. Check your insurance coverage.

Thank you. I'll ask Suzuki kung ano best thing to do. If napatunayan ko na ang root cause ng sira ng kotse is dahil dun sa pagkakamali ng shell. Babalikan ko sila.

The circumstances surrounding this are sad for everyone. Punctured pan, fluid starvation, wrong fluid...& continued use.
Pardon me, but I personally can't find it within to put the blame solely on the party that has helped me get back on the road. I'd never let some gas station do transmission fluid changes or fixes unless it were an emergency. I would've opted to be towed. Their guilt falls on accepting the task & ignorance.
I hope your insurance can cover the swap. Would really wanna see a good end to this episode. Please keep us posted, sir.

Malalaman ko yan sa Suzuki sa monday. May nakausap na ako dun replacement lang talaga sila, hindi sila nagooverhaul. Magdedemand ako sa Shell ng bagong transmission kapag yun ang sira. Ang sakit kasi sa ul ng ginawa nila.

Assuming nasira tranny mo, shell will just say the damage was inevitable since the oilpan was badly damaged and leaking so damage was probably from the loss of fluid.

And after 1 month dun mo pa lang napansin mali ang fluid nila. I think you are equally liable for your misfortune.

I hope your insurance can cover the damage. I have 2 words for you... "Surplus tranny"

....From a low-mile donor. Preferably lower than the patient. Salvage yards & insurance companies may have wrecks w/ good working CVTs.

As I've mention earlier, Nakabangga ako ng bato kumbaga hindi ko din naman ginusto . Wala naman din akong choice that time kundi magpunta sa pinaka malapit na pwedeng tumulong (which is Shell). Sabi ko nga wala din ako masyadong alam sa sasakyan. Akala ko nga baka aircon ang tumutulo, kaya ko din pinacheck sa kanila para malaman ko. Sobrang unfortunate lang din talaga ng nangyare na naging ganito yung result ng ignorance nila sa trabaho nila. Sila yung mekanino at may head mechanic na nagtingin din. Sana kung hindi pala sila sure, hindi na lang nila tinanggap. Hindi naman din siguro valid reason ang ignorance sa ganyang scenario kasi that's their duty and protocol to begin with.

Manufacturers today have their own proprietary fluids for specific models. We can no longer be sure what differs between say a Nissan NS2 CVT fluid vs Honda's CVTF or Toyota's or Suzuki's. The Castrol fluid below, though labeled CVTF, is an example of 1 that isn't ideal for all types of CVTs.

Did the said Shell stock their own CVT fluid, sir? Or did you have to bring the proper Suzuki 1 for the drain & fill?
On ignorance & liability, if this happened in the dealership, I would share your sentiments, hands down. With a non-specialist gas station? Oil changes, flat fixes, fine...but today's transmissions & types? They're likely just as clueless as any other non-car guy who never cares to read the owner's manual....Wish you luck, sir.

gas station mechanics are, if i may, "generic mechanics". their knowledge is for motor vehicles that use generic or over-the-counter materiel.
if your car uses "non-generic" materiel...
i guess, that is why most owner's manuals recommend the casa and nothing else.

well, i learned something here.
when in trouble, and in doubt, "call the tow truck".

Nope. Wala silang stock na CVT kasi bumili sila sa labas. I specifically told them na sa casa bumili para sure. Pero ang nilagay pa din is generic.
