My Experience Using Anyhow Transmission Fluid By My Mechanic by Nobody: 8:47pm On Jun 30, 2022
I took my 05 Camry to my mechanic to service the gear and he service it as claim,. Added 2 litres of ATF dextron II to it and since I have been experiencing delay engagement from P to D but to R is sharp. I also don't know the probs until I searched and later met an oil seller who said I should use the recommended fluid type t iv.
When I ordered him to drain the former fluid it pass 5 litres.
Now am good. Just wanted someone to know.

Hope your gear is working well now. You are lucky. That gear is about 300-320k in Lagos and they give you a guarantee of 1 week maximum

If you had done such with an accord, she won't be merciful, you have to be careful and ask

Why not research online? .... knowing these mechanics are not certified... why not Google the recommended oil instead of asking the nechanic?.....you should even be buying your own oil. And what made you think the transmission needed servicing?

Thank god for you taking note on time.That remind me of a very nasty experience i had in 2005 with my beloved camry 2002 then.the car was a lovely v6 that can climb a hill even at 90 deg.in seconds smiley.I was to travel from Kaduna to Lagos and i decided to just check the car when the mecho then told me i need to change the gear oil,that was how he he drained the transmission oil and replaced with botch transmission oil(those white plastic sold for 3k then).That was how i started this journey and to add salt to injury i left kd around 10am and anyone that knew kaduna abuja in those days will know it was a road to die for smiley.I was cruising between 140km/h to 150km/h that by 1"30pm i was in Lokoja,it was then the unthinkable happened.i slowed down since i was inside Lokoja and the car just stopped in the middle of the road while the engine was running.That was how my beloved camry gear was destroyed and i had to sell the car ,so its always advisable to change transmission oil with the recommended one,that always ring on my head since i learnt the hard way
