yo bro, just chged the ATF at Kiang Auto on early Apr'10. and after clocking less than 7,000km i noticed that the ATF is "very black". Not sure whether did the fella really chged or not in the 1st place. why so "black"? I tot the interval chge is every 20,000km (as a rule-of-thumb)?
BTW, do we need to chge a specifc brand or any brand so long as it's use for ATF?

I think something very wrong with your gearbox. It is never black. My last ride drive 70KKM before change still reddish-brown.... Smell the dip for carbon....if yes, I think you better go checkup immediately..... yo bro, just chged the ATF at Kiang Auto on early Apr'10. and after clocking less than 7,000km i noticed that the ATF is "very black".

When your ATF turn black it means there is severe wear and tear. Take the dip and smell for burnt/metal/carbon odour. Yo bro, many tks for all your feedback, greatly appreciate.
