Hi! Wanting to get my auto transmission serviced.

I bought 8L of Castrol Transmax Z from Super Cheap Auto today from their 20% off sale

Newaiz, im not sure how much Litres I need for the service, Im providing oil to my mechanic to put in but they are closed today.

just wondering if its enough?

Anyone know how much Oil I will need flush or not?

And what should I change for my transmission service, so far i got this on the list:

  • Oil
  • Gasket
  • Filter

Also should I change my differentail oil as well? Can the mechanic at a transmission workshop do it? If yes, what oil should I use?

What price should I expect for this service minus the transmax Z oil I already bought

Any help will be appreciated

hey matey, just went through this recently the workshop i did my service at recommended me to do a new filter ($20) and gasket ($15) these were aftermarket items as i rang around different workshops and Nissan dealers who couldn't help me with it. I paid 80$ in labour and supplied my own oil, i went with Redline High-Temp ATF

You won't be able to flush all the old oil out as that pretty much requires removing the whole gearbox as there will always be liquid in the transfer case, like you i bought 10L of ATF and ended up using about 5L

pretty much that's all that's required, so long as you maintain it every 25,000 kms depending on how you drive you will have no dramas

As far as the diff is concerned you should service that every 10,000 kms, needs a specific diff oil, your mechanic should know more about it

hope that helps mate

Yo! thanks alot man, appreciate your help :)

Diff drain intervals are typically closer to 100,000km than 10,000kms.... If you use fully synthetic you can triple the factory drain interval.

    • That sounds like an excellent idea. But total self-sufficiency means exactly that. You have no-one else to blame when your system faults out and you have no power for a week or two while it gets fixed. You'd have to go the whole hog and get a diesel genny and all the switchover gear, to get you through such times. And, despite the fact that over 20 years, my system has been pretty reliable**, I have seen so many inverter explosions (or less dramatic deaths), panel and roof JB fires, and so on, over that time, to know that the stuff is the same as any other bulk Chinese manufactured stuff. The failure rate is well above zero - both on the equipment and on behalf of the meth addled installation labour force. And then..... warranty and means of redress against the supplier you bought the gear from. Best I can tell is that only a handful of solar companies are still around within 5 years of starting their advertising pitch. They disappear and phoenix like crazy. So, as per 1st paragraph, I suspect the only way to is go balls deep and spend maybe 2-3 times as much as you might think, so that you have every base covered. Plus, know and understand your gear intimately, so you can diagnose problems, sort them out yourself, etc, etc. Plus, probably have to consider upgrading various parts as the years pass, to maintain compatibility with newer stuff, performance and reliability, etc, etc. Whereas, remaining attached to the grid has an ongoing cost that keeps going up even if you use bugger all power from it. But it does provide the fallback in case of the worst case with your own gear. You either pay up front or as you go, I suspect.
    • Add more solar panels to the array. Call the electricity company and tell them you're moving out... Live off grid electric wise
    • Hi Jasmine. How's the war going?
    • I'm extremely suspicious of the VPP stuff. Best I can tell, you surrender any and all control of your panels and battery to the VPP, because there's no way that anyone could write a sufficiently useful set of "rules" as to how much you would be willing to let out of your export meter at any given time. If one of your main interests is to have enough in your battery every evening to get you through the night without having to import, you could easily find yourself with nothing in your battery at the end of the day, or part way through the night, and then be paying import pricing instead of paying nothing. I cannot see how this cannot come to pass.
    • majority aftermarket is an10 yes, but majority of OEM is An12 r35 OEM cooler lines at close to an 12, the hard line that car uses is almost 20mm  Porsche OEM is also AN12   i figure, if our power levels are close to 1000hp, then AN12 should be a must if many OEM standard power vehicles use AN12
