how often do u guys service this ATF?
some said every 20km. some said 40km.
sometimes i service at p2 sc, but they never service this!!

does the service means top up more oil or remove the old oil and put new oil inside?
can i get more power @ better fc after servicing it?

thx in advance

Your car manual does not state the service intervals?
Normally I suggest every 20k km oil pan change. This is what is removed from the ATF oil pan, and same amount is added back. With clean atf you should feel a smoother drive. Then at 60k km, a flush is done and with ATF filter change.

During every service you can ask them which KM service mileage package are they servicing and what will be serviced.. smile_wink.gif

Most SC do not have the flushing machine. They do the oil pan change, run the engine, then oil pan chnage again. They do it 3 times and that is considered a flush. You can request them to change the filter at the same time.
