ATF fluid used in CVT Transmission

**Sirius Santos** · November 30th, 2019 08:50 PM

Please help!!! Newbie here. Please bear with me kasi hindi ako masyado marunong sa sasakyan. Ang gamit ko ngayon is Suzuki Celerio 2017 Model Gen 2 Automatic. May nadaanan akong medyo malaking bato, nabutas yung oil pan tumagas ng malakas yung fluid. Nag-drive ako sa pinakamalapit na pwede pagdalhan (Shell) mga 500 meters away. Pagdating namin dun inasikaso naman kami agad. Bale ang gagawin daw si kailangan i-weld yung oil pan tapos papalitan daw yung fluid na tumagas. Umuwi kami ng maayos naman. Bale after ilang weeks nagkaproblema na yung sasakyan, may tumutunog and namamatayan na ko ng engine. Akala ko battery lang kaya nagpalit na ko ng battery, pero ganon pa din. So pinacheck ko sa kakilalang mekaniko. Nung chinecheck na nya yung kotse, nalaman namin na mali ang fluid na nailagay ng Shell. Instead of CVT Fluid ang nilagay nila is ATF. Imagine, almost one month ko yun byinahe. Ibinalik ko sa Shell, flinush nila tapos pinalitan ng tamang Fluid. Umuwi ulit ako ng maayos pero after ilang linggo nagloloko na naman yung sasakyan. Now, nag-iinit na yung kotse, may weird na rattling sound, malakas na yung vibration ng sasakyan and mas madalas ng mamatay yung makina. Gusto ko sana malaman kung ano yung possible na sira and ano kaya magandang step na gawin kapag ganito? Napascan ko na sya sa computer pero wala naman nadetect na related sa pagpatay ng engine. Nakaschedule na ko ng diagnosis sa Casa. Nagkacrowd source lang ako para alam ko yung gagawin ko and possible ba na mailaban ko to sa Shell if ever. Thanks

Shoot that's what I thought too. I guess liable ang shell sa ginawa nila.

Expect the worse ka na sir. Personally, I would go for a new transmission too instead of having the damaged one repaired. Iba parin may peace of mind ka when driving.

What if may medical emergency kayo at biglang tumirik ulit? Better to be assured of a well functioning vehicle.

Good luck, drive safe.

Not so sure they'd have known the specific fluid you would've needed, sir. The owner's manual or Google could've helped. Some degree of damage may have occurred in those 500m you ran leaking. With CVTs, once they crumble, they're practically toast.

I agree. Better na palitan kesa irepair kasi kapag nirepair lang possible na magkaproblema din sa future and it will never be the same when it comes to performance ng kotse. Thank you.

To be honest, may nakasulat na CVT label dun sa dip stick. Dun pa lang na hindi nila pinansin yun mali na. Ilan silang tumingin ng kotse, kahit isa sa kanila wala man lang nakapansin. Pinakamasakit na part is kahit anong flush ang gawin nila hindi na nila maaalis yung maling fluid na kumalat sa makina or transmission.

I feel your pain, sir.[emoji17] Check your insurance coverage.[emoji120]

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.
