![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I show up at AMMACO and they agree to exchange the fluid. They referred me to AMMACO on StClair and Runnymede. I realize now they didn't want type J fluids contaminating there normal systems. They wouldn't budge and insisted that they might be implicated if there was a transmission failure further on. I said to Toronto Jiffy lube not to worry that I had 10 litres of fluid a filter etc. They refused to touch the car after I told them my story.Ĭalled Brantford Jiffy lube and was told that fluid was OK, I mean what were they supposed to say. This cost aprox 150$Ĭalled jiffy lube on Dundas and Royal York. I wanted to get it flushed so I bought 10 litres of subaru ATF hp, a filter and headed out to get a flush. They didn't have the infuser or flushing machine and admitted that their normal service was to drain and fill. This morning I went promptly to Marino s to have trans fluid replaced. Will check trans levels regularly in the future. Going to get front mid and rear fluids changed at the dealer tomorrow. This winter I noticed some of my worst fuel economy ever.Īnd I wrote it up to air density and more alcohol in the fuel, my right foot etc.īut I wunder could this be a cause? Could low transmission fluid levels effect fuel economy? If I could notice anything I might say I noticed more of an all wheel drive feel with a more noticeable rear wheel input ( but it is snowy and slippery out ). The transmission worked fine before and after. The guy claimed that it wouldn't be a leak one could see on the floor of the garage as the filter was actually above where the oil sits at rest or wouldn't actually leak until one was under way on the road. The guys think that the filter had a crushed seal, which developed into a slow leak. This got me home tonight from Brantford to Toronto. They were unable to source the Recommended fluid.Īny how they topped it up with QUAKER STATE MULTI-VEHICLE ATF part# 160026Īlmost 4 litres added but they massively overfilled it. They were unable to read a transmission level and Had the oil and filter changed by Jiffy Lube today. ![]()
