Toyota Altis Grande CVT Fluid Change (Transmission code K313)

[bridgedoctorali]

Very useful information.

However, a word of caution that this only shows difference of few parameters of various fluids used in CVT/AT (automatic transmissions). There are other chemical differences also which are must needed for each type of transmission. So DO NOT assume that only this limited (but critical) info is enough to decide.

In layman's terms, the earlier, the better. It adds to life of machine and you get peak performance throughout the life cycle.

Well manual says 55k km or 2 years which ever comes first. The same manual says to check at 40k km (which obviously means even if 2 years not complete).

Please don't listen to people - you will be at risk!

The most complicated part of our cars (talking of Corolla) I believe, is its transmission! Costly to repair and replace. Changing at 2 years or on reaching the mileage earlier will ensure healthy long lasting transmission.

If you want to take risk! It is your personal choice and deterioration of transmission will happen at an accelerated pace! Be safe! Good luck!

different countries/markets have different suppliers, US has exxonmobil - EU is shell, Japan is idemitsu etc. They change also.

Its not a hard and fast rule as we are on the consumer side only.
meaning - If I carry a bottle of TGMO from USA and install it in an Indus Motors corolla - it wont make an ounce of difference (other than my freinds calling me stupid)

BUT

we should compare apples to apples, meaning TGMO 5W30 (USA) vs TGMO 5W30 (PK)

nicely done, thank you for explaining, I had two questions in mind

1) why did you not change the cvt oil filter during this process as it was easy doing it at this stage.

2) I am planning to do it on Corolla Altis 1.6 , for which i believe has a CVT oil filler port in engine bay like engine oil port. I believe i wont have to remove the plastic on side of tires and get under the car for refilling.

[haseeb.basharat]

Altis 1.6 got 4 speed automatic transmission.

[bridgedoctorali]

1. I did not change the filter because it was my first change at 28,000 km at 2 years. Also, the color of removed fluid was reasonable.

2. Your 1.6 Altis is not a CVT transmission. You'll fill from the dipstick Port.

yes ,exactly,like atf ws and cvt fe have almost same viscosity yet they are Not compatible/interchangable. The main purpose of this comparison is to highlight the fact that Only oem fluid should be used and serves as an quick answer for those people who think generic oils like Liquimoly/Zic etc work fine in cvts.

[bridgedoctorali]

Agreed

Sir and which transmission oil for auto in grande altis cvti engine should be

[anon35615524]

For CVT, I believe Toyota CVTF-FE would suffice for 2018 Grande.

Still, you may check the posts above. May be, this issue has already been discussed and resolved here, above.

I have a Grande Dec 2015 driven around 44000km in Karachi. Need to know about any Toyota dealerships in Karachi which follows these steps so I can get my fluid changed.

[zubair_mengal]

Then please let me know about the procedure

[bridgedoctorali]

Zubair sb plz go to the start of this thread and you'll find they whole procedure

[arcane3888936656]

3rd time drain how much oil came out?
First time 2.6 second time 2.035 litre then how much cvt oil changed in total?
N what is specified oil 1.2 litre for measurement ?

[bridgedoctorali]

I have to trace back and find my notes to check 3rd time quantity. BUT please note that this 3rd time quantity is immaterial - as the procedure is described above; you have to fill the CVT fluid so that its starts dripping (with filler tube installed) then close the nut and pour 1.2 lit. This 1.2 liter is called the "Specified" quantity. For different works being done on transmission the "Specified" quantity will be different - for the current job it is 1.2 lit.

I hope this answers!
