Turbobrick Neutral Newbie March 31, 2002 Share March 31, 2002 That's a fair price for mineral ATF, your Soluna holds quite little ATF in the sump Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yongwd 1st Gear April 1, 2002 Share April 1, 2002 mineral usually half the life of synthetic. See if your gearbox require DexII or III grade ATF. Mineral is about $6 per litre So cheap? don't think it's synthetic one..... i as my regular machanic.... he told me to change the ATF for my car cost about $60..... using shell..... ATF...

Scat_cyz Neutral Newbie April 5, 2002 Share April 5, 2002 You can try Ah Lin at Sin Ming. His place is at Blk29 Sin Ming Ind Estate #01-215 (O) 64563710. Quote Steven (Nissan VIP). Changing the ATF is easy, not sure if he has the flushing facility but flushing is not really necessary if your car is less than 10 years old. Nevertheless, Royal purple ATF is quite good. And ATF usually runs for 40,000 km before changing is required however you will still need to condition monitor its condition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nine_eleven 2nd Gear August 15, 2006 Share August 15, 2006 use ONLY Toyota Type T-IV for your G9 auto-trans. need only to drain and refill. don't need to flush. one 4 litre tin only cost $24-$26. using any other ATF may damage your AT. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
