Hi! I had my 100,000kms Major Service at like around 96,000kms

Now its on 101,100kms therefore going to do a minor service.

Currently on the list:

Engine Oil

Oil Filter

Checking Brakes and Suspension

Also when should i change the gearbox oil? ( its a R34 N/A AUTO TIPTRONIC )

My mechanic put Castrol Dextron III in my gearbox in my major service.

But i heard that people use Castrol Transmax Z and its better.

But isnt Dextron III the same as Transmax Z but just different names?

Well if im wrong please correct me.

Thx for any help

Dexron III is just a specification, Transmax Z meets the Dexron III specification amongst others.. transmax is fully synthetic, The Castrol Dexron III fluid is most likely just some cheap shitty mineral or semi synth fluid.

Yerp, the Castrol Dexron III is a mineral base fluid. If on a budget the Nulon Dx III is a semi synthetic for the same price and is a good seller.

    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
