Daihatsu Mira X Limited CTV Transmission Fluid

[tab001]

I have Daihatsu Mira (X-Limited 2010 Model), when bought it was already 34000 KM on odo and now its 40700 KM. I want to change its transmission fluid as Change due on every 20000KMs. Now I am searching for the compatible CVTF fluid oil for my car Mira X-Limited (2010).
i have attached the dipstick screenshots where the fluid name is mentioned in japanese. I have tried to translate it using Google Translator and found that it is Daihatsu Amikkusu CVTF Fluid DC (Ammix CVTF Fluid DC).

Here I need help from you expert ppl that:

1. Am i right that in Mira X-Limited, the transmission oil would be Daihatsu Ammix CVTF Fluid DC ?
2. Does anyone change the Transmission fluid in his/her Daihatsu Mira CVT car ?

Thanks For your help

every 20,000 kms? are you towing something with it? CVTF first change is at 80,000 kms and then every 50,000

Suggest find its owners manual on net and consult regarding the mileage CVT needs to be changed. In my city which has a CVT transmission the owners manual rexommends 40,000kms or 3 years which ever is earlier. Best of luck.

I have a Mira Custom 2010 (CVT transmission). The CVT oil needs to be changed after 50,000 km as per user manual (below).

Ammix cvt fluid-dc is what Daihatsu recommends, compatible replacement includes Castrol Transmax CVT. http://msdspds.castrol.com/bpglis/FusionPDS.nsf/Files/6F20AAA6C23A4AAD80257D5D00456386/$File/BPXE-9PT3C2.pdf Some people say Toyota CVT oil is also compatible but I have not confirmed it. I have also written to Liqui Moly let's see what they have to suggest.

Have you contacted dihatso 3s dealership in your area. What they offer for cvt transmission of your car?

[Xulfiqar]

This CVT is built by toyota - it would be pretty happy with the toyota fluid. just like the toyota camry and daihatsu altis are the same car - but have different fluid specs in the owners manuals.

Haha, no, i m not towing anything, Xulfiqar. I have read somewhere that CVT fluid change is due on every 20000Kms, but i think i am wrong.

Thanks All of you for ur suggestions.

Should I change CVT after 50000 KMs or wait for 80000 KMs and then change it?

I have read the manual attached by WhiteAngel and also found at

https://www.pakwheels.com/forums/engine-transmission-powertrain/206252-maintenance-schedule-daihatsu-mira-2007-user-manual

I could not understand the sever condition replacement mention in Note *2 in the WhiteAngel post's manual. What it means to replace in the severe condition ?

[tab001]

Ok, I have found the meaning of Sever Condition

It means that:

In the case of light car , 10,000km ( turbo cars 5,000km), or let's exchange once every six months .
Severe condition : 5,000km in the case of ( turbo cars 2,500km) is a measure of each exchange . In addition , once the exchange twice of engine oil is recommended to replace the oil filter .

※ severe condition : rough road often , traveling distance is large, if you use in harsh conditions , such as frequent traveling up and down like mountain road .

Liqui Moly Germany has confirmed that Top Tec ATF 1400 is also compatible with Ammix CVT Fluid DC. Toyota CVT Fluid TC should also work, although I have not confirmed it from Toyota dealership.

[Thinking]

@whiteangel

I think there is a difference between CVT and ATF fluids.

Need to re analyze i believe there will be a different CVT fluid from Liqui Moly which would be compatible.

[bilalahm]

Top Tec ATF 1400 is for CVT actually, don't go on the title..... read the details for the product

Don't get confused by the label. ATF means automatic transmission fluid, CVT is also a type of automatic transmission, but it uses a different fluid as compared to conventional automatic transmission.

I also think Liqui moly should have done a better job of labeling the product and called it CVT instead of ATF. I emailed Liqui Moly Germany and they have confirmed that Top Tec 1400 is suitable for Daihatsu Mira CVT transmission.

Is it available in Pakistan ? Or needs to import ? BTW i have changed the CVT oil and used Toyota CVTF TC in my Daihatsu Mira X Limited.

[whiteangel]

Not sure about availability I will check with Liqui Moly distributor. Even if it's not in stock, I'm sure they can get it.

[bilalahm]

Easily available on the authorized dealer outlets in Islamabad, should be the same in other cities.

[bilalahm]

Price was rs 1800 per bottle last week if I can recall correctly.

[whiteangel]

Rs. 1800 is too much, if it is for 1 liter pack. Toyota CVT TC is for about Rs. 4200 for 4 litres.

[bilalahm]

Japanese vs German......... you decide
