Same happened to us. Went up to 60k without draining by previous owners. We wanted to flush but hard to find the shop and we no have budget yet at that time. In the end, we just drained. We feel slight to below average improvement in shifting though.

Our owners manual says to flush every 40k, iirc.

One shop we went to said that they discourage flushing specially if not flushed for a very long time. As per their experience, after flushing, it became problematic. I read the same thing here/other forums.

Their advice is to drain and refill every 1 week (forgot for how many weeks, maybe 4-5 times?). They claim that method is something like 'gentle flush'.

The shop is the one specialized in auto transmission in sucat. Forgot the name.

What we ended up doing is to drain once. And follow regular schedule or brown color atf. Money is tight. If we have the money, I will do the gentle flush method then regular schedule.

Goodluck!

Dialysis. Kinda synonymous though but technically not.

Better to check my manual again hehe

ATF flushing na lang siguro gagawin ko next month since di pa nag drain-replace. Minsanan na gastos na.

Sa honda cars na lang din ako magpapaflushing kesa sa labas. Same lang ang presyo ng casa at shops.

Salamat po sa tulong nyo mga boss... Malaking tulong to sa akin na first timer magkaron ng sasakyan.

Pag medyo may edad na ang sasakyan annual na ang pagpalit ng atf to be safe. Drain and refill naman so hindi ganun kabigat din.

Every 80k kms lang ako nag dialysis. So far so good

Honda A/Ts built 2011 and later must use DW1 only.

Hi newbie here

I recently bought a 2002 toyota altis 1.6 at, and unfortunately, the owner didn't give me the manual

may I ask what type or brand of atf fluid is recommended/ suggested?

also other recommended fluids for brake fluids, coolants? or where to get/buy a manual either online or a physical copy

thanks!

Try searching online. Usually merong manual. Andun ang exact ATF ba recommended for your car. Alternatively, you can join Altis groups sa FB and doon mag ask. For coolant, I suggest same color sa current na nakalagay. Silipin mo lang doon sa lagayan.
