Supposed to be eh sa 120,000kms pa. Nawala sa isip ko kaya pinabayaan ko na lang din.

Anyway, may nagsabi sa akin na ang required ATF ng SF is SP 3 pero ang nailagay sa Shell Gas Station is Spirax S1 (not Sp 3 spec).

Do I need to worry? Wala pa naman akong nararamdaman na kakaiba after the ATF change.
mitsubishi spec ATF is also being used by hyundai, SP III
model specific yan sir... the transmission requires specific slippage and traction.
do not use regular dexron III to SP III vehicles,
initially wala ka ma-fefeel but eventually it will cause damage on the rings and other components that would eventually degrade the transmission and mostly likely destroy it.

personal experience ko with SPII/SPIII transmission....
mura lang naman ATF comapred to whole transmission.
a good quality SPIII rated ATF will require an average of 60,000-90,000 kms before change.
