Toyota Altis Grande CVT Fluid Change (Transmission code K313)

[bridgedoctorali]

This is the very reason that our cars get knocked out so early. You must find a good human being with reasonable expertise and pay him reasonable to get the job done. Please note the process may take 3 to 4 hours (not including time to cool down, as you'll be driving to a workshop) depending on arrangements.

Did you thought why he refused to do your work? Because of free reasons: * to much time * relatively less money * above all he can't do few things or doesn't know how to do it. But very sad!

In which city you are?

Off topic: this shows in general that why we are lacking quality in general

[bridgedoctorali]

If you plan to do it.... Then do it in this season now .... In warm season then it becomes difficult to maintain temp/cool down the hot car.

How much is your car odo and which model it is?

Doc
Mechanic is very well known in town due to his expertise and we are his old clients and he had mever dissapointed us as per the mechanic argument this fill and refill method only changes the oil partially and the metal particles and wear & tear would remain there

[bumboo]

Im from Quetta and i have 2017 January altis grande 26000 km done till date

Mechanic asked me to park for over night for temperature issue right now its 18 C temperature in daytime and till nohht ot drops down to 2 c

[bridgedoctorali]

He is partly wrong and partly right. Let me tell how:
By his method of pan opening, only slightly more oil will come out... My guess .... Slightly less than 4lit. The total capacity is 7.5 lit ... Mentioned in your car manual. By this way you'd get only able to change 53% or less.

The three time method will allow you to change about 72%.

Please note the method that I stated is not my personal suggestion, in fact it's Toyota suggested.

Very important is to finally ensure the fluid level by Temperature Detection Mode.

Why don't you go to Toyota 3S and insist for this right procedure?

[bridgedoctorali]

Good that your doing it very well in time.

Your mechanic is suggesting his own crafted procedure. I am sure he'll argue that I have spent 50 years and no one knows better then me ....
But the fact is new cars are very sophisticated than 25 years old cars.....

I don't know why he's insisting on not listening to you and to the argument that the procedure that you're telling is told by Toyota!

Time to either educate him to follow you or time to leave him at least for CVT fluid change of K313.

[bumboo]

Doc totally agree with your method as I myself have researched and its the right method as per SOP

Problem here in Quetta is that there are only two dealerships aka stealerships

Toyota zarghoon motors and Toyota airport motors
Their workshop incharge also follows the pan opening desi totka So total disappointment

Khair InshAllah by Sunday I’ll make some arrangements with the mechanic to follow correct procedure for fluid replacement

[bridgedoctorali]

Please first fully understand they procedure yourself. Then explain to your tech.

Do practice thoroughly the activation of Temperature Detection Mode ...... Removing the wire will free times .... Otherwise you may mistakes.

[bridgedoctorali]

And do take pictures and make videos and do share with us!

Wish you a happy CVT fluid change! Let me know if any further help needed!

[qwertypoiu]

Change mechanic he's not capable to do so

[bridgedoctorali]

Can you share the source for this very informative information. Thanks

[bridgedoctorali]

Hmmm .... How do you know this?

[arcane3888936656]

Some ppl say that cvt oil may be run till 55k odo or 3 years despite the dealership or manual as says 2 years n 40k in dust climate area .

What about that if 40 k odo n 2 years and 5 months completed by car ....whether cvt fluid should be changed or 4/5 months can be delayed till 50 k odo.

[bridgedoctorali]

Preventive maintenance is critical for healthy system. Try to stick to manual or be more conservative than manual. Our dusty and got climate is very harsh. Some People are causal

[ahmar.mirza]

I have to change the transmission oil for my vitz 2011 odo 92k. I have driven it for 10k almost and not sure about the maintenance done by previous owner.

Went to car mechanic from whom we used to get work done previously. He said he will open pan and clean the filter as well. But some thread I read a comment by @Xulfikar that never wash the filter (normally they do with petrol). Though the mechanic knew about the filler and overflow thing but nothing about temperature.

Please suggest me a good place in Lahore to get the cvt oil changed. I am in dha. And should i replace the filter? its 92k done already. How much a filter will cost?

[bridgedoctorali]

Agreed that washing strainer is not good. It simply need replacement.

@haseeb.basharat plz suggest Lahore mechanic

[ahmar.mirza]

and at 92k should the filter be replaced (And only Allah knows the actual meter reading because we live in Pakistan)

[haseeb.basharat]

Ali raza gul bhai at lube shop Lahore is good. He can do the procedure.
