Myvi 1.5 problem while travel long distance.

[stupidcar]

When u use cheap recycle oil, u cant really know whether the viscosity rating is what u really get in the bottle. Some of this cheapo brands are not even listed in API list yet they claim to comply.

Some cheap but they are still API compliant. SM or SN too.

For Myvi 1.5, its rather thick. If im not wrong, CVkit has the same car, wait for him to clarify.

I think he using 30 weight oil...

Im finding solution for my problem and not promoting brand...
Stopoil and nasa oil,
Under company name "lubeworld" if i not mistaken...
And i dont think is recycle oil..
I dont feel to change to branded oil,prefer use this and change 2000 km earlier everytime service...
Because i have change over hundred of vehicle using this engine oil and i dont see any customer complain...

Mr trustgtr if u are not helping instead of insulting me use recycle oil u may just ignore this thread..

So back to topic,
I shloud check atf fluid right ? Or just buy atf additive/treatment and test it... Since this friday i plan to drive long distance..

The one Lubeguard suggested from VR2 is good stuffs, many good reviews, am going to pour in after another 8000km when I change my ATF.

Mind to share with me where to get the lubeguard ?
I stay near sungai buloh area..

For your info, my car atf use toyota t-iv,
And change every 20 000km
Can lubeguard works with this fluid?

Another thing i would like to ask is about myvi atf filter,
I heard that myvi 1.5 (3sz-ve) atf filter are mesh wire type... And i never change it before..
Should i change it or just take it out and clean the mesh wire?

You are driving Myvi and the atf recommended is Dextron III if not mistaken. Toyota T-IV is not the atf to use in replace for Dextron III

It's sad that my ATF pan is so inaccessible. If not I would want to DIY.

Take picture. I don't think it's impossible to access

Aiven, try switching back to Perodua Semi Syn 5w-30 if possible (gold bottle, API SM) and then see hows the result. I personally do not think that it has anything to do with the gearbox for now, unless one possibility where the gearbox efficiency dropped when it heats up. Check the ATF also and change/flush if you feel that it is necessary or has the budget.

I've been using P2 engine oil (which is by Petronas) for 2 years and im quite happy so far. The only drawback is that the car starts to feel sluggish after like 6000 km. P2 service interval is 10000 km. But well which engine oil can lasts you for 10,00km and still feels like new at less than 100 bucks?

Its at the side remember?

LOL i was in Google Image trying to search Persona ATF. Izso punya car popped up.

better dont clean the mesh. The mesh isnt designed to be re-usable like K&N. Just change the AT filter esp. when you already partly open the AT. The filter wont cost a bomb.

The Lubegard additive is compatible with Toyota T-IV that you are using. If you're afraid of which Lubegard ATF additive to use, the safe bet is to use their LUBEGARD Platinum Universal ATF Protectant.

Yup, Lubeguard Universal, but the thing is his T-IV atf may not be compatible as Myvi recommended is Dextron III

vr2turbo, I get your argument. From my personal experience with Toyota's T-IV ATF was that it's not that lasting. It's good for 20k kms thereabout. Beyond that, my car felt sluggish. This feeling is obvious when driving long journeys. I don't believe it's synthetic-based. Any recommendation for a good-quality Dextron III ATF? Will installing an auxilliary AT cooler improve the situation?

When it comes to engine oil, it's always good to inspect the physical and chemical characteristics of the product before buying if you can. You can google for the technical data sheets of these oils. It's true that you get what you pay for. Latest API and ACEA specifications require oil producers to formulate oils that meet the latest low emission regulations and that means the 'good stuffs' that are the additives are reduced or substituted to reduce the SAPS (ash). So in simple explanation, an API SN rated oil may be the latest in technology but is actually not that durable. Performance-wise these low SAPS oils are dull. Just my opinion.

Bear in mind that API Certified and API Standard or Design to API are not the same.
