Ya.....you should buy your own ATF oil here and service in JB. There is no filter for AT. BTW, does your work shop have computerized wheel alignment ? If have, can help to get some pricing info ? I recently bought the spark plug wench, the type you wanted. If still need it, you know where to find me........

Sorry to hijack this thread...... how much is the alignment ? Do they sell tires, is it cheaper in general ? 11m, as for the ATF change, if the ATF is still pink to light brown, there is no need to change. Light brown is becos the red dye added into the ATF have degraded over time. For my previous ride, never change for the first 5~6 years or something like 120kkm.....really.....I ask my mechanic whether need to change......he keep saying no need....... He judge by the smell, change only if you smell burning carbon. Change gearbox if you smell burning metal...... can try hawk tayar....i always have my wheel alignment there.....

Finally fixed up my new power steering pipe.. was a bit lazy so went to a new workshop near to New York hotel..Total bill was RM 205 to replaced power steering pipe, bleed +replace brake fluid, replace ATF, flush coolant, change EO.. balance tyres. A bit on the high side considering that i bought all my own parts and fluids.. will stick back to my previous ws in Johor Jaya. Lately my engine feels rough at times and FC is getting worse.. i am not sure if it is the plugs.. sometimes when i crank i can feel it will be "smooth" and pick up is good however most times will be rather rough and the drive juz doesnt feel good.. Any bros experience this ? or is it because my mileage is now 160K. Seeking some inputs

Wow.....RM205 for so many items ...... Like OK leh. Rough Engine & Bad FC are usually caused by : a) Misfire - Spark Plug worn out - I thought you have changed that ?? b) Poor Compression 1 : Spark Plug not tighten. At high speed - 90km/h onward, engine hesitation tendency. c) A dying O2 sensor - 160kkm is about time, did your CEL light up from time to time ? If yes, use a OBD scanner to check err code. Is your idling rpm @ 700 region ? d) Poor Compression 2 : Piston wear and tear. Try pouring a bottle of Engine Treatment may helps. EO tends to look milky. Oil consumption will also increase - Do you need to top up EO between 10kkm ?? Try to use FS EO over mineral oil, slightly better wear and tear characteristics. BTW, how bad is your FC, cannot be worse than mine. 8.6~8.7km/L after I recently do a wheel alignment. previously 7.8~8.0km/L As our engine is Hyundai 3rd generation AL engine. It is all aluminium alloy block design. Be careful not to over tighten the spark plug !!! Spark Plug appearance also tell a story, your previous spark plugs you took out. How does the insulator near the tip look like ? White, Tan, Black, Black & wet/Shining or worse Yellow ?? Finally fixed up my new power steering pipe.. was a bit lazy so went to a new workshop near to New York hotel..Total bill was RM 205 to replaced power steering pipe, bleed +replace brake fluid, replace ATF, flush coolant, change EO.. balance tyres.
