Unker.... no need to be too enthusiastic in changing out your new ATF that soon. Why waste the ATF if it is of correct factory spec? Wait till the next change interval lor.... as the car will be driven by your kids, it will pile up mileage soon enough.

Thanks for the concern. I really appreciate it.

Problem is I DON'T know if my mechanic followed correct spec or not. I know that they just use the same gear oil from a big drum for all (maybe all???) cars. For my peace of mind, I prefer to spend extra RM100 to personally bring it back to spec (original Perodua DIII + KW TransX treatment) AND maybe help to solve the delayed engagement. I think better not be kiamsiap and to wait and worry everyday that maybe the gearbox is being damaged.

But paiseh to ask again - is the picture correct? Is that my ATF drain plug?

Ok... first time change ATF. So easy leh... for the first part. Pour in the oil take forever because I modify small hose (a bit too small) to a too small funnel.

Added the KW TransX. Then Perodua DIII ATF. So far 2 days no delayed engagement (especially happens in the morning) anymore. Gear change seems smoother. Definitely noticeably smoother from D2 to D3.

Everything seems good now (touch wood). Thank you to all who help old uncle learn new stuff.
