RM11 difference woh/liter...39 and 50....5 bottles will be 195 vs 250..60 bucks difference....I can belanja eat McD with that money.... biggrin.gif

iswara only need 3ish liters after full drain; despite the picture you provided previously stating 6.1 liters (F3A21) which is including the torque converter that holds quite a substantial amount of ATF.

that, and non fully synthetic ATF does expands a lot (which is why you adjust the level/according to the dipstick on HOT) so there really is no need for 5 liters wink.gif

What is the shelf life of automatic transmission fluid?
The Valvoline Company does not have a documented shelf life exposure on finished motor oil or automatic transmission fluid. We would expect under optimal conditions that the product would be stable for an extended period of time. We recommend two things: 1) Make sure the rating meets or exceeds your requirements, and 2) Shake the container before use. If the fluid sets, sometimes the additives may settle in the bottom of the container.


and as all oil/lube Q's, feel free to google/visit bitog: http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbth...&Number=2579740

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Does_motor_oil_have_a_shelf_life
generally if the container is not compromised, stored in cool dry place, 2-5 years is a safe shelf life estimate

also from the same BITOG link, which posted a link to http://www.carbibles.com/engineoil_bible.html

QUOTE
Technically, engine oils have shelf lives of four to five years. However, as years pass, unused engine oils can become obsolete and fail to meet the technical requirements of current engines. The specs get updated regularly based on new scientific testing procedures and engine requirements. But this is only really a concern if you've bought a brand new car but have engine oil you bought for the previous car. An oil that is a number of years old might not be formulated to meet the requirements set for your newer engine.

If your unopened containers of engine oil are more than three years old, read the labels to make sure they meet the latest industry standards. If they do meet the current standards, you might want to take the extra precaution of obtaining oil analysis before using them. An oil analysis will check for key properties of the oil and ensure that it still meets the original manufacturing specs. Of course the cost of getting an analysis done on old oil is probably going to outweigh going and buying fresh stuff. So it's a double-edged sword.
As a general rule, the simpler the oil formulation, the longer the shelf life. The following is a guideline under protected conditions - indoors at about 20°C:
Product Shelf Life
Base Oils, Process Oils - 3 years
Hydraulic Oils, Compressor Oils, General Purpose Lubricating Oils - 2 years
Engine Oils and Transmission Oils - 3 years
Industrial and Automotive Gear Oils - 2 years
Metal Working and Cutting Oils - 1 year

The following are signs of storage instability in a lubricant:

* Settling out of the additives as a gel or sticky liquid
* Floc or haze
* Precipitates/solid material
* Colour change or haziness

Water contamination in a lubricant can be detected by a "milky" appearance of the product.

Never driven up there before, even Genting, any one of these places would be great di.  thumbup.gif

genting is so so, and past gohtong > peak, your car performance (and recently discovered after chasing 2 speed demons) and weight plays an important factor.

then again i've been to genting touge'ing for many a times and would prefer other places like cameron (haven't touge there yet)
alternatively, if you like to play with death, genting sempah is damn challenging throughout the day/night/dusk with it's own unique challenges and any mishaps has high potential in resulting your car total and you on the newspaper headlines laugh.gif

Cameron no good street food AFAIK. But everytime I go there confem must steamboat. Any shop pun jadi, janji ade steamboat.

There are better and value-for-money alternatives to Continentals.

con9lan7firm need chinese watercress (sai yong choi?) steamboat/soup at cameron! thumbup.gif

and yes, that's why buying proton sucks which the poll on main F&F sub-forum proven: they chosen continental cc5 and mc5 for tires vmad.gif
