Atf is automatic transmission fluid. Cvtf is continuous variable transmission fluid. Totally 2 different things.

To know which to use, u must know your vios is using at or cvt. If not mistaken, older gen of your model is at and newer gen is cvt. Can u let us know yours is which year?

Year 2014. The mechanic did everything. I just watched.

Auto tranmission oil is the engine oil or gearbox oil?

ATF is the gear box oil, not engine oil.

Not compressor problem i think. Just a small tiny leak somewhere, even the mechanic cannot find it after putting the dye.

Its almost 2 years since using. So far so good. Car using almost everyday

Then atf is correct as your vios is using AT. So 220 for atf change, for me it's quite expensive. U using ori toyota atf right?

J spec, rear drum brakes. drum brakes housing are prone to sticking if reinstalled by the typical mechanics here compared to rear disc assembly

for your reference, Aisin ATF fully sync 4L RM115 (toyota compitable).
so, if it is similar, this ATF is reasonable.

Oh so means it's normal to use more than 4L that runs it to rm220? Some forumer says rm180/4L.

Mana ada. It's some forumer mentioned street price 180/4L. My actual bill is 220 as in photo. I have no idea how many litres used though cos didn't see through the whole process.

Hmm. He initially said top up would not cost much. Why end up 220 is what made me posted here to ask.

Now I m getting confused. So I asked chatgpt.
Answer is for infrequent driving - change 60k km or 5-6 years whichever comes first. My mileage is 40k km. Car age is 10 year old. So I think he is not wrong too even though it not necessary. I figured he did a partial drain and fill of 4L without changing the filter. However no more touching atf in future as chatgpt highlighted it as risky unless it's very dirty. So yeah Kena ripped off 220. Damn.
