you know why tricky? they pour the new CVT oil through the same channel as the dipstick, causing the dipstick giving inaccurate oil level measurement as the channel is now oily...very hard to gauge the oil level...so good luck

they say filling through the dipstick channel is the correct way...not sure thats the lazy man way or what...if you do that it just causes the whole channel to be oily and it's near impossible to use the dipstick to gauge accurately as the whole dipstick will be oil from top to bottom when you attempt to check the oil level

to make matters worse, CVT oil is very very clear almost water like...

now you make me this ain't funny especially the mechanics can overfill our engine oil like no tomorrow...

Transmission fluid: DIA QUEEN CVTF-J1
NOTE:
When the transmission fluid level is low, the oil pump sucks air together with the transmission fluid, and produces air bubbles in the hydraulic circuit. The air bubbles in the hydraulic circuit decreases the hydraulic pressure, causing the delayed shift or slippage of the belt, clutch, and brake. When the transmission fluid level is too high, the fluid is stirred by the gear and foams up, and the problems similar to those when the transmission fluid level is low will occur. In either case, air bubbles cause the overheat and oxidation of the transmission fluid, which prevents normal operation of the valve, clutch, and brake. Beside, when the transmission fluid is foamy, it flows out of the transaxle vent hole. This may be taken as the fluid leakage by mistake.

I changed the CVT oil at 30k km so brake and coolant fuilds remain unchanged until I reached 40k

so meaning to say we need to check the cvt levels after driving for sometime to see if the levels are correct then? tomorrow I will have a look...

Yes I do, and also believe its coming your way too...

Bring it back with the ori packaging for a refund....

Was kolekting plastic oil bottles and huge oil drums la.... i not purpley go see purple bra wan....
They drove the car a few rounds, to make sure the CVT is hot... then the car cums in and they check the oil level.... they did this 3 times, and also the last time, the oil is at the last the top most level = max at hot....

FYI, there are 4 notches on the dipstick, they indicate (from the bottom): Min at cold, max at cold, min at hot and max at hot, respectively.... pls go check at which your CVT oil levels are, and at which temperature....

Yup.... but this is a caution to the owners out there.... some SC may just be filling it to the "max at cold" level and be done with it.... maybe they lazy to drive the car out of the bay to warm up the CVT....

Hope no car out there is at "min at cold".... hailat.com jor...

TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGE
AC609993AB
1.Remove the drain plug on the bottom of the transaxle case to drain the transmission fluid.
Draining amount: Approximately 5.1 dm3 (5.39 qt)
2.Install the drain plug with a new gasket to the transaxle case, and tighten it to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 34 ± 2 N⋅m (25 ± 2 ft-lb)
CAUTION
If the transaxle case becomes full before filling 5.1 dm3 (5.39 qt) of transmission fluid, stop filling the transmission fluid.
3.Fill in the new transmission fluid through the filler tube.
Filling amount: Approximately 5.1 dm3 (5.39 qt)
Transmission fluid: DIA QUEEN CVTF-J1
4.Start up the engine and let it idle for 1 to 2 minutes.
5.Move the selector lever to every position, and then move it to the "P" or "N" range.
6.Stop the engine and perform the above steps 1 to 5 again.
7.Stop the engine, and discharge a small amount of transmission fluid to check for fouling. If fouling is found, repeat steps 1 to 5 until clean transmission fluid comes out.
8.Drive the vehicle until the transmission fluid is warmed up to the normal operating temperature 70 − 80°C (158 − 176°F), and check the transmission fluid level. It must be within the "H" area on the dipstick.
NOTE:
The "COLD" level is for reference only. Use the "H" level as the criteria.
NOTE:
Use M.U.T.-III. to measure the transmission fluid temperature.
NOTE:

When a certain amount of time is required to warm up the transmission fluid to the normal operating temperature 70 − 80°C (158 − 176°F), check the fluid level referring to the characteristics chart.
9.Adjust the transmission fluid level to the specified level. Refill the transmission fluid when the fluid level is low, and drain the transmission fluid through the drain plug when the fluid level is high.
10.Securely insert the dipstick into the filler tube.
11.TCM records the deterioration level of the transmission fluid. After replacing the transmission fluid with new one, use M.U.T.-III to reset the deterioration level recorded in TCM.

Yahoo loan approved for 1.8... but wait sell my PE and parts then sign and wait for car @@

small.. tak suka design.

In an emergency, which button u guys press to activate the car alarm?

Diam la bodoh...

Our car have theft alarm la.... it dont have panic or alert alarm, the button to press to sound the alarm in the event of an emergency, or just to find your car in the parking lot....

PROTON ma!

Sure dun have lah!

You're lucky you get a spare tyre.....

this car so hai tech!!! with magnesium paddle some more....

the more i read, the more i dont feel secure by letting those indon/bangla worker to handle my cvt oil change la, this is high tech and expensive stuff......

and... i dont mind T_T.. proton  wira... is rebatch.. and i dont see ppl stop buying them..

saga also.... the old one... i dont see it totally gone at the market.

aishhh

why u like that one T_T

Yooooo

Thx everyone.
Wife and baby girl safe and rest  now

Going overnight here Klang Pantai.
Estimate 3day2night vacation here.

Morning ... Erm how bout civic hybrid? Lol... Joke aside, didn't have that prob yet but I a bit rattle sound at front passenger side

i tried the 1.8 elentra and 2.0 navinavi cibic
they dont have the manual crz so i never try it

the reverse camera of elentra really stupid 70% view floor 

haha , is true the rear camera.. really dont know view wht... view how is the road surface area ba.. cant see a thing..

n the vent also.. maybe korea ppl prefer blow the balls, to hv better sperm count ma.. must not heat up too much.. if not

cant swim hahaha

..now even the kimchi car.. already increase price for another 3k.. due to our belove gov TAX

haha welcome!
