ok la, exceeded proton's original spec by few km/h max speed, despite being mostly stock (performance wise, only got lcp and full exhaust system replacement, 15" wheels is kinda a downgrade than upgrade in most sense lol)

then just masuk redline and forever cannot climb (or until traffic approaches lol)

and suddenly going lubegard full product ranges

remember back then when izso mentioned about torco not being API certified? i actually sent them a mail that day btw.

took long enough for the torco corp rep replied me. now i am asking him if i can copy paste the entire content to LYN w
oh and he cant spell "allowed" lol americans XD

regardless i will continue further on the engine oil review thread ( http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1438525 )instead here as it is kinda derailing already

don't worry, they admit that they are not API certified

if your gb no problem, what do you seek in lubegard anyways?

Added on August 3, 2012, 2:52 pm go ahead and give it a try then.

if possible, do a full flush and replace the filter as well before adding

perhaps give it a full flush including replace the ATF filter (which will likely require gasket replacement too)
if still persist, perhaps give lubegard a try then.

personally, id recommend against using lubricants to solve problems because they are additives which helps elevate problems and doesn't solve the root cause of a problem.

then again with what so many people claims of it working/solving their problems (including my own experiences), why the hell not right? lol

best to follow your manufacturer recommendations.

that said, if dextron 6 is backward compatible, then it shouldn't have problems

that depends on your car's gasket/filter cost, and of course the extra liters needed for a flushing.

not familiar with sentra, you'll need to check spare part shops/tan chong centers

by right, tan chong/nissan SC should be the "best" place. however that obviously may not be the cheapest. other than that i have no idea, sorry

for lubegard, if got money just go platinum. if want to save a few 10's ringgits, consider black (for high friction japanese based AT box) for p1/p2/japanese AT box vehicles.
red is the bare basic lubegard.

personally the pricing between black and platinum isn't huge, might as well go for platinum.

if CVT will need to use lubegard CVT fluid (different)

changed ATF for your AT box yet? consider changing its filter too if you never done it/haven't done in a very long time.

after done that, if problem still not solved perhaps then you can give lubegard a try

automatic transmission fluid

typical service interval for ATF is 20-40k km or 6 months/1 year.
depending on manufacturer recommendations.

like i said, perhaps do a ATF change and even replacing the ATF filter (may need the gasket too depending on how your AT box is designed)
if it doesn't help then give lubegard a try

platinum 9x
red 6x-7x

contact cosmic elite if they got dealers/sellers there.

else can contact lyn seller like zhapalang zendengoh

can consider buy online/postage, then bring workshop ask them help pour (after ATF drain, and after pour lubegard fill ATF to appropriate level)

best if you pour it during a fresh gear oil change interval not after gear oil change then drive maybe 500/1000 km or more.
if in doubt, consider performing ATF flushing prior to lubegard + fresh ATF especially when you mentioned that your car is flooded before, since water may easily enter the gear box housing via the dip stick (not sure bout persona, iswara dip stick is just at the gearbox housing which is damn low lol.)
more so when you described that changing ATF improved on your problem

and yeah, give a try to these solutions, at worst you waste rm90+, however more often than not if it's confirmed to be stuck valves, lubegard can help solve that and you'll save over rm400 (not including replacing worn parts if reqiured) in repair bills and car down time.

again, don't straight away put in. do ATF flushing (if you can afford), else just drain your ATF, pour in lubegard, then fill with ATF till appropriate levels.
DO NOT OVERFILL, please fill till cold level, then to make sure, start engine and drive a bit or if car is jacked, have the gears cycle a bit between reverse/D/P and check again on the ATF hot level.
if on really tight budget, go with proton's ATF SP3 or XP3, else spend a little bit more for Caltex ATF-J (need to find at caltex stations)

AFAIK false, the mechanic probably con you... however if you're uncertain of the gear box ATF filter quality (since you mentioned black oil poured out before having repaired/replaced by black shop), can consider replacing the ATF filter which means you need to remove the ATF oil sump.
Buy original gasket/ATF filter from proton parts stockists/glenmarie parts center

no need to use lubegard flush, just regular atf filling, let it run/cycle in the car, and drain it out. there are workshops that have dedicated flushing machines which will work better, however expensive charges.

plenty of shops selling lubegard platinum la... 1 eneos not selling other eneos may sell? i remembered kepong and 1utama eneos had those.
