so let me get this straight.

either way, automatic transmission fluid is just another word for auto gearbox oil ?

yeap this too.

so to TS:
if you really want an absolute clear cut answer, better provide your car make/model, and its transmission system, then we can further advise as needed

got it guys! thanks a lot!

its a myvi 2009 auto

dextron III for myvi, mineral and synthetic based.

just use synthetic based...it wont cost so much

Guys, My ATF tends to overheat. if I install a ATF cooler, can i install the same oil and pressure sensor, just like those oil coolers? or need to modify the fittings? Hope Sifu here can enlighten me.

Any good durable ATF would recommend? Driving a old waja

Hunch?. Cause during cold start etc it's ok. After spirited drive etc, there's a delay when I shift from N to D. Delay is like close to 2 second before the car engages gear. Some of my friends told me it's the transmission overheat or most likely insufficient ATF fluid. When I let the car cool down the next day it's ok till I drive the car hard.

Yes. I heard need to pull out the transmission cover and fabricate a port. Definitely use steel braided hose since it's high pressure. As I'm well aware the transmission peak working temp is less than 110 degrees. anything above, will result in ATF fluid being burn off. Thus, I was hoping if anyone did attempt to install sensors to tap the temperature. It would be great to know we're not stressing the transmission too much

Yes. Also thinking an option to install fan. But, standard fans are too big to be fitted on the cooler. May need to go with passive cooling since there isn't much space in under the hood. Hence I need to know the temperature.

I whack my car too hard. Huhu.

If run external standalone cooler, I think need to make sure the placement is correct else it will suck in hot air. The radiator is tad small.  Seller recommends me to install fan.

thats why la, i whack my car hard also, time to time maintain red line 6-7k rpm, also no problem shifting etc.

thats why i recommended lubegard, maybe it works for him, maybe not, however its not something permanent, and the cost isnt exactly a few hundred or so to speak.

thanks folks, my car ar... *sigh* still along list of upgrades... Next might be oil coolers...

anyone here know how to install OCT on campro?? got two holes on top of the rocker cover. which to connect? the left one I put a small breather.

hence the recommendation to try, i was also specific that it may or may not help

oil cooler fits NA and Turbo

it doesnt mean u dun need external oil cooler if u r on NA

my2cents

yes...it all depends on driving behavior

normal car normal use for sure dun need

this normally for power steering fluid

seldom saw in in ATF, maybe only in honda? im not sure

if really wanna use this kind of cooler, then for sure cannot bypass the radiator cooling way....otherwise sure overheat
