that's the exact bottle when i requested them to show me a bottled version so i can check out the labels/product description way back then.

albeit it did not come with the marker pen "Q8 unitrans JK". just a "blank" Q8 bottle laugh.gif
per bottle should  be a liter i assume? if yes then yeah pricing is about the same that i've gotten for my place.

i dont know la, however from the way how smooth my auto shifts are, i am not even sure if one even needs an ATF cooler after you're on good semi syn (the product sheet says synthetic from Q8 site, however my workshop foreman says its semi synthetic only) AND lubegard platinum.

the main reason why one gets an ATF cooler is to cooldown ATF temperature because the higher temperature it goes for the ATF, the viscosity may change and may be off your tranny specifications or at least very near off which may not offer enough protection.

i've never experienced jerks/delays in shifts ever since i'm on Q8 and eventually lubegard, and that totally killed my thoughts of getting an ATF cooler since i probably don't need one.

Alas the above claims are from non-scientific claims/feels/experience, which may or may not be accurate as opposed to having a proper thermostat/device to check your actual ATF temperature/viscosity.
however one thing to note, MAJORITY of stock vehicles DOES NOT have ATF coolers installed in their car, so *maybe* it really isn't needed smile.gif

Fake product? They buy in bulk? God knows man... I could not care much since Kaitenaz Racing has reputation. Nazlee did introduced me the Torco ATF, but it is damn pricey, around double of Q8 rclxub.gif

I did not experience any jerks or delays as the gearbox is still new(2 years++) but does feel that car is hard to pull after long driving, getting hot maybe?

I just throw a cooler in so I don't need to worry about gearbox overheating when I pull it hard as I don't have any gauge to check the temperature. Just for prevention and feel good factor laugh.gif

Not going to install engine oil cooler, just waiting next coolant change and get a good coolant. Has quite good review, can be found at ACE hardware

haha i was introduced to torco ATF too. price was rclxub.gif
and i thought, proton 3 speeder auto only dei, no need so pamper it right? LOL

well if you're not having jerks/delays you didn't really need lubegard right? hows the "feel good factor" going? better shifts? less 0.2 sec that you probably didn't feel? lol

hmm maybe can look into that coolant. reviews from where?

3 speeder? very good top end wor

Not sure if is new oil or Lubegard, it actually feels lighter, not as sluggish as before. Better shift? I am suck on butt-dyno man...

This coolant has already mixed properly, so just pour in without mixing water. Had the review long time ago, can't remember the site..

Might try Lubegard coolant

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 laugh.gif

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
