[QUOTE="astroboy, post: 630616, member: 4527"] Hehe... off topic but good for knowledge.. Toyota D-III is for those without hill decent control fuzzy logic transmission. To run hill decent system, the ATF has to be more liquid while the D-III is thicker. I have Avanza friend use T-IV in their old Avanza but suffer slippage because the ATF not "pekat" enough. My Avanza been using D-III since the warranty days when service done by Sec19 UMWT service center.. so I die die swear by it and still return to SC to buy my ATF. Outside spare part shop already stop carrying this D-III ATF, only T-IV and I refuse to budge.. degil ma.. haha! :4: My 7 year old Avanza, almost 200k km, still in good condition and often push beyond the on-paper speed limit.. :4: Now I have problem understanding the ATF change procedure.. I DIY my ZF 6HP19 ATF change with ZF6 fluid. I do not know how much is enough.. different people give me different advice. 1. I fill ATF until overflow. 2. I start engine, run through the gears, 3 sec each to circulate the ATF and wait few minute for temperature to build up. 3. Top up until overflow.. (which I fail because run out of ATF!! I pumped more than 5 litre in...) When I stop engine, ATF gush out.. I quickly jack up the car, crawl in and close the fill plug. I read that ATF top up must be done with engine running, some say must stop the engine after it hit 40 Celsius and never exceed 50, then measure ATF level. Some say must engage 'N'.. how la? Which is which? I top up 1L this morning... still no overflow, with engine running, oil heated up, but in 'P'. Okay ka? [/QUOTE]
