ATF Change

Went to Autobacs Tebrau City on 11/4/2014 for normal sevice and ATF change. Originally plan to do normal service + ATF change + engine diagnosis at Toyota Service Centre (Heiwa Auto Gallery) at Tebrau City but was told the waiting time too long for me.


That the only one Toyota Service Centre that accept service for re-cond car in Johor as far as I know.
The Autobacs's mechanic (japanese malay speaking guy) willing to help me to do engine diagnosis for Engine Light Warning which I encountered currently.
Cost:

1. Engine Oil Replacement - Mobil Super2000 Semi-synthetic 4Liter               : RM113
2. ATF Oil (Toyota Automatic Transmission Fluid Type T-IV)                        : RM125
3. Engine Diagnosis Scanner                                                                            : RM30
4. Labour Charge, Engine Oil Change                                                              : RM15
4. Labour Charge, ATF Change                                                                      : RM25
                                                                               TOTAL            : RM308


Unfortunately, the result of engine diagnosis did not return any error code.
So, engine warning light appeared without any trouble code?? Weird....

The mechanic take out the connection of the car battery about 30 minutes in order to reset the ECU.
Hopefully, that can clear out the light warning.

But again, the 1st ignition, the light did not come out but in 2nd ignition, the light is ON again and this time - back to the original issue. So, the problem is still there. He suspected that wiring problem and recommend me a guy who can diagnosis the wiring problem.

The Autobacs' visit did not cure the problem. Plan to visit Aliran Motor next week to overcome this problem.

    Sorry to post this comment, but I think the ATF cost is a way bit expensive. I've just changed my ATF and it cost only RM95 at the workshop, and I believe it will cost much lower if I purchased it at the spare parts shop.

    Anyway, what is the recommended mileage to change the ATF oil?

    Thanks.

    Change it when the oil is dirty..
    Mostly due to driving style.. Kaki henjut sila la periksa minyak gear selalu..
    Hamamatsu Netz Toyota Service Centre's technician (Japan), told me this.. No specific interval (marketing)..
    The most thing to concern, make sure only OEM ATF only.. No other brand. The gearbox is designed to be worked with the specific oil..
