Hi @justauto, which ATF do you reckon is most suitable for a 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer GLX?
Re: What Kind Of Transmission Fluid (ATF) Should I Use? by justauto(m): 1:04pm On Nov 21, 2013
Hi Audacious, Use GL-4 or any high quality ATF like Dextron 111 or IV from a reputable supplier.

Just acquired a Prado 2003, the ATF leaks and I ensure I top it up with dextron 11 or 111 as specified in the manual. Now, before my reverse engages, @ times when hot, I have to rev to over 3000 rpm. What do I need to do. - drain the atf completely and fill up again? What could also be responsible for the leakage, though not much but I know it is risky. Am in Lagos - if I know I have to prepare for - in terms of cost, I won't mind bringing it to your w/shop to be fixed. 08033259595

Don't try that nonsense on your vehicle.

Oando Dextron III
Re: What Kind Of Transmission Fluid (ATF) Should I Use? by luvinhubby(m): 11:47pm On Jul 19, 2017
The biggest setback on transmission fluids for vehicles in Nigeria is vast availability of fake ATFs.

The market has been flooded with fake and poorly cloned Honda ATF-DW1 from China. Likewise some other brands of Detron III ATF.

Best advice is to go buy directly from filling stations, like Oando and MRS and authenticated brand dealers.
