ATF To Replace or to Flush

Hi All I started another topic 2 days back for service components and I think I have my shopping basket complete.

Re: 4.8 Service

The car has 315 000km on the clock. I have no idea as to when all these fluids was last done. Thus I want to replace it all so I know it has been done. The idea will be to flush the transmission so I will take the quantity in mind. Thanks for the heads up on the other oils. I did see on one of the l...

Re: Dummy Light brought to life

Unfortunatly a minimum Quantity order was not high up on the Chinese uppliers list of priorities and I lost my patience milking information out of them. I have now ordered a set of Depo light frm the UAE. If you know someone that can bring them here for you it only works out to R900 for the set. I a...
