hehe.. tama po kayo, drain and refill ATF na ako mamaya.

peru sa websites kasi, sabi nila 25,000 to 30,000 miles. that's more or less 45,000 Kilometers diba? at ang sabi pa ng ibang sites may ibang cars pa na no need to change ATF at all...

*popoyn: di ko na po matandaan, sa palagay ko Caltex Siguro, kasi dun kami sa Shop ng Caltex nagpa palit ATF.

hindi pa po ako nakakita ng unused ATF, ano po ba ang kulay nyan sa Caltex? medyo brown kunti na kasi rin yung sa amin...I think time to change na kung brown, though wala pa namang amoy sunog.

just found a website saying:

Check the ATF only after the transmission has been warmed up to operating temperature, say after a short trip someplace. Park on a level spot, set the parking brake, leave the engine running at idle, and locate the ATF Dipstick. This might be located along the firewall, but there are other possible places, as well, depending on the orientation of the engine and transmission. Consult the owner’s manual or a dealer if you aren’t sure. Do not confuse the transmission Dipstick with the oil level Dipstick. The ATF Dipstick usually has writing on it indicating what it does.

Some vehicles are checked with the transmission in park, others require it to be in neutral. The rule of thumb is that GM, Ford, front-wheel drive Chryslers and nearly all imported cars are checked in park, older rear-wheel drive Chryslers are checked in neutral. Again, check the owner’s manual or with a dealer if you aren’t sure.

Pull the Dipstick out and wipe it with a clean paper towel. Reinsert it and check the level several times until the readings seem consistent. The fluid is moving around and has a tendency to splash a bit giving changes in readings. If the level is low, fluid is added using a small funnel down the dipstick tube itself. It’s very important to use the correct fluid for your particular vehicle and that information is likely both stamped on the Dipstick itself and printed in the owner’s manual. The fluid should be a nice red or pink color, not brown or smell burnt.
