PSA group have approved engine oil from Total and Mobil. My Peugeot owner’s manual calls up Total, however it also states ACEA C3 meets the requirements. Could you please explain how warranty can be refused if using ACEA C3 oil from Total, Mobil. Shell, Penrite that do not carry the PSA...

If your transmission is not leaking and is performing as intended and the transmission is at ambient temp and as stated in previous posts vehicle is level and tyres are correct pressure, I cannot see any issue. The amount of fluid removed will be the same volume as the replacement fluid, the...

Do not wish to start a new post but would like to add my thoughts on ATF change. This post is about ATF change in so called sealed automatic transmissions (no dipstick) With the vehicle parked on a known level surface and the vehicle tyres at the correct pressure and the ambient temperature at...

Part of the problem is indeed getting credible information. Personal bias plays a part and of course the use that the transmission is put to. If a person has had a failure believed to be caused of multivehicle ATF, how will we ever know if that is correct, for example the alleged issue with...

In relation to my question on DEXRON V1 MERCON LV as multivehicle fluid, I am happy with the info provided on the forum. It would be helpful when people report their experience with a particular multivehicle ATF that they provide the type of transmission, model, and year of vehicle as some...

Thank you. I have used Maxilife Dex111 in other older vehicles with no issue. Will give the licenced product I stated a go and will be surprised if I have any issues.

Thank you for the info. Amsoil, Red Line and HPL are not exactly thick on the ground in Australia. Will probably use Castrol Transmax DEXRON®-VI MERCON® LV as a multivehicle ATF in lieu of Valvoline Maxilife.

Castrol, Valvoline, Pennzoil, Mobil, and others sell licenced DEXRON V1 MERCON LV as multivehicle fluids and claim performance requirements for a range of vehicles. How do the above-mentioned companies manage to combine the two specifications as a multivehicle ATF without affecting the licence...

I would never use old plastic ramps, only ever use welded steel ramps that comply with local safety requirments.

The OP does not require a high-end high-cost meter and comparing Fluke and other higher cost meters with Uni-t, Klein and others is apples and oranges. It needs to be fully understood that many high-cost meters like some Fluke meters are made in China. A word of caution: Many meters claim that...

Clearly you know very little about what you are talking about. As a qualified tradsman I use Fluke and Klein meters. Klein meters are not junk.

Klein MM720 is a good general use meter with the correct CAT ratings and with duty cycle and temp useful for automotive use.

A boiling point tester is the only accurate way to test brake fluid performance. Refer to brake and fluid manufactures.

If both earths/ grounds are bolted to a known good chassis connection, then there will not be an issue. Problems arise if two different wire gauges are simply spliced to an existing earth/ ground rather than bolted to the same point as voltage drop and feedback issues can occur. This is due to...

Liqui Moly may well make great products, however as far as I know they do not manufacture brake components. I have posted before that brake manufactures should be the first port of call. Example would be Bendix or similar. Bendix Ceramasil Brake Parts Lubricant Where do I use it? To be most...

Suggest you Google manufactures of polyurethane bushings and their web sites will provide their recommended lubrication. Download their MSDS and compare their differences. You will find that they use a silicon-based grease with PTFE.

Completely agree. Many cheap and some mid-range meters do not meet their stated cat rating. For people with little electrical knowledge this is a real trap. Always purchase a meter with third part approvals such as CSA, UL, TÜV and ETL/Intertek.
