Hey thanks for these contacts. Looks like u have all the lobangs in your pocket.

[Dwoon]

Lobangs in pocket..... yah lor.... know too many of these contacts to buy stuff, keep buying then end up holes in pocket.

[Pisces69]

 

Maybe u r overdoing it a little.

 

Change too often even though it's not necessary.

 

I just follow the service schedule in my handbook & try to use only good quality oils & stuff. My maintenance costs r quite low actually & I don't have problems like always breaking down.

 

Maybe u too kiasu lah.

Hi Bro, Dun mind PM me your WS contact at yishun. I stay in the area and will need ATF flush on my next service. Thanks.

[Pisces69]

This ws can only do the drain & fill. He not those high-tech WS that got ATF flushing machine. But he has always done a good job on my car. For high-tech work, I go to other WS.

 

U still want his contact?

[Kieran1975]

pls pass me your WS contact.... as long as it is good and cheap i'm fine....hehehe....

[Dwoon]

Cheapest so far for a complete chnage out of ATF is at Stamford Tuas. Only $45 for labour & to use their machine.

 

For drain & fill...... any W/S can do lah..... you might as well go back to your regular one for that matter.

 

Khang's charges $60 is I'm not wrong. Riverview charges $70. All these prices are when you bring your own ATF.

Do you happen to know whether the ATF change machine at Khang works similar to that of Stamford Tuas?

 

Also, is there a method to estimate the quantity of ATF to bring?

Think the machine is similar..... except the method to hook up to your car might vary... depending on the mech I suppose. The least troublesome is by just sticking the tube through the dipstick opening....... which is what Stanford does.... which probably explains the cheaper pricing and quicker to do.

 

For ATF qty, check your user manual to see what is the total capacity for your auto tranny.

 

The machine is such that it will exchange out the old ATF with the new ATF, by the amount which is entered into it. Therefore if you bring say 8 litres, then the mech will key in the 8 litres and the machine will swap out that qty. If you have say 12 ltrs, then the 12 ltrs will be swapped out.

 

Hope this helps.

[Pisces69]

Check your PM.

[Pisces69]

Maybe I can add. If your ATF is really dirty, I usually need about 15 to 18 lit.

 

The machines I used b4 have 2 transparent tubes showing the colour of the ATF going in & the ATF coming out. Normally when the colour in the 2 tubes r about same, they stop the process.

[Kklee]

Thanks for the info. Will check it out.

I'm trying to avoid these 2x tubes ATF machine... read about some pressure related issues which might kill the AT box.

 

I should have 15x bottles of Schaeffer 204SAT ATF but most probably would be getting a few more bottles just in case. Trying to change the current mineral to as much synthetic as possible.

[Kieran1975]

Just called up ST, they only do ATF "flush" and do not provide change ATF filter service.

 

Is it necessary or required to change the ATF Filter?

 

Any other WS can do "flush" plus filter change?

 

How much for the labour as I'll be bringing my own stuffs?

 

Thanks.

[Pisces69]

Have u used 204SAT b4? Is it good & is it 100% synthetic? Can it b used on my Optra?

 

I think the 204SAT is not really Dexron but a fluid which can b used by any & all autoboxes? I wonder if that is good or not?

IIRC, used at least 10 bottles so far. Good or not is rather subjective, but AT feels smooth and responsive. It's suppose to be a fully synthetic blend... at least the webby says so!

Compatibility, the tech documents indicates Dexron III and Toyota T-IV.

[Pisces69]

U driving an Optra, right?
