Fark. Hahahha. I forgot is brake fluid or ATF fluid for steering. HAHAHAHAH

Izso! Last time u fill in what dy? I check back manual need ATF Dexron I/II.
I think we filled in SPIII?
I don't remember what we filled in your PS. Should be Dexron III la. I have shitloads of that at home.

i use SPIII leh, so far no problem.

Actually, power steering uses ATF in most cases Dexron II/III. SPIII will work la. But it's not ideal la. Dexron is more viscous, or was it the other way around? I don't remember.

last weekend changed my kancil brake shoe wit try & error method, since doing it alone for the 1st time I didn't had the chance to take pictures of process. took me 4 hours to manage to finish it when it should be faster than that if let them mechs do it. it all went smooth for the right hand side, just an hour I think but all went havoc for the left hand side, no problem opening it but to install it back caused me problem. y coz 1 of the item with the spring popped out & I manage to install it back but the wrong way. I put it back like the right hand side but actually it's like the mirror side of it. how did I know, I re opened the right side compare them parts & :banghead: 2,3 times & manage to finish it. maybe I could cut back an hour if I used my other 2T bottle jack in kelisa instead of using them bricks:banghead::banghead: & luckily no other parts r damage. it's not that hard for kancil but don't know with others cars, next my kelisa, hope it's the same method. but all in all, anything diy is truly satisfying.

like I said for kancil its quite easy but for bigger cars maybe mechanism is on a whole different level edi
Bigger cars normally will have disc already in the rear, but then the disc also can be very different but still easier then shoes.....

ATF I think more complex, can use in PS but not the other way around....

I use PS fluid or ATF for my K & N last time....
Ya as oiling like you said right? My KNN i just wash and reuse already. Didn't oil.
Might get some ATF to use it as oiling. Since I have leftovers for servicing kelisa haha!

Drive: Power is where the HRV Turbo score the highest points. Provides instant response, with very symmetrical throttle to acceleration ratio, refined power delivery, despite being fed through a cvt transmission. It is surprisingly parallel this time around, literally unelastic in most of driving situations. Has paddle shifters, a good to have necessity for demanding drivers.
