Not sure for Myvi, but if some leaks out, just top up later when drive shaft have been fitted back in....
For a peace of the mind, do alignment check, but for me if steering still straight I don't bother unless mechanic removes the tie rod end also....lol
The guy leaked all out first. Then only proceed to remove driveshaft... But last time when my Wira is doing it, totally don't need to drain out gearbox oil and nothing drips down also.
Done that.
Alignment is the reason why Myvi is doing all these. Today went to do alignment. Shop say driveshaft cover broke. Need replace. Then say need replace gearbox oil also because all need pour out. Some more found out the car is equipped with camber nut or something like that. Wrongly sized bolt.
Oh! actually do alignment found out drive shaft booty torn. He want to make more ask you change MT oil. Anyway is your MT oil due? If yes, might as well......lol
If is my Wira, I walk away to my usual mechanic place already.
For the Myvi, I think the gearbox oil is due. The last major repair of the car would be repair from insurance agent mechanic at KL. That time my aunt crashed the car during middle of 2014. I think this insurance agent mechanic swapped out the wrong sized camber bolt to the car.
Mechanic recommended. He just ask want normal or good quality. I said good and he bought Toyota.
Yes. 75W-90. But the price of Castrol is cheaper than Toyota.Toyota should be the 75w-90 ones. Even better is like Redline.....lol
No wonder I din't see any gearbox oil bottle.Castrol 85w-90 for workshop comes in those 18L drums so is cheaper....
Oh, alright. Thanks for informing. So, I guess the drivetrain structure for Myvi K3-VE is different from Wira 4G15.
