Kinda like sa gear oil and differential, wala ding filter.

Alwayz: Buti pa sa Pride dali mag palit ng filter hehehe... OT lang, nakakuha kang ilaw ng maxima?

di pa po ser, kinda busy kasi, ung aircon ng maxima conked out, plus ung 134a requirement na iniimplement nila....pati ung van..buti sira pa compressor ng van, at isasabay ko nalang sa pagrerepair...

ung former delica ko, etong liteace, ung kia, may steel mesh filter, ang di ko lang mapapalitan ng bago is ung sa liteace, wala kasing a/t ang 2c natin dito in the first place, kaya kung malilinis pa gamit ay gaas, good..ung kia, madali nagbara kasi sa sludge formation..ayun, nabutas, palit na...

I have a 2000 gtx a/t and I don't have the workshop manual (tried to get from Kia but got nowhere with it). Hence, I base my initial assessment from a book called "lube, oil & chassis service" by do it right. From what I gather kasi, most pans don't have a drain. So I thought of putting one para madaling mag drain ng fluid kung ma overfill kaysa magtanggal ng linya from the radiator.

BTW, I could not find Dextron 2 na oil so I topped the fluid temporarily using Valvoline IID. Is this the same grade? Else, I'm screwed.

not sure about the valvoline..pero find ka nung sinabi ko..mobils are kinda harder than sa castrol...valvoline is a good brand, pero specs matters most,e..

ko, natuto lang sa 4x4mag...and my former delica in diy atf replacing....nga pala, dont forge ung filter kasi maliit lang ang meshed area, madali lang mag-clog kasi sa sludge..

amoy mo din ung oil, dapat amoy oil parin,h...

nga pala, ung delica, liteace ko has 2 small powerful magnets inside..ung pride, may 1 medium doughnut powerful magnet inside...so i assume halos lahat ng a/t ay may magnets inside the oil pan....

kaya obligado kang buksan un every atf change....

up ko lang on a related question.

nasira (loose thread) na kasi yung transmission plug ng auto ko. wala ako makita na kapareho. temporary ginamit ko yung plug sa water pipe. sakto yung size, konting teflon lang ok na.

ang tanung, ok lang ba gamitin yun? wala ba problema sa katagalan? kaya ba ng ordinary GI lang yun pressure and temp ng gear oil?
thanks
