    You are saying the same thing.Sri lanka is severe condition and go traffic is the worst thing for heat related issues.Sri lanka is not a desired climate with high humidity.You are making statements for japan roads.Even if you don't drive at all it should be replaced.More importanlty if you make short trips it becomes worse in the case of op doing 11000km just short trips.

    Yes, traffic is hell in Sri Lanka - frequent stop-go traffic puts tremendous strain on transmission fluid when you DRIVE through such traffic. That's why you should replace transmission fluid when you DRIVE 40k kms under those conditions.

    Water contamination due to condensation happens in Japan as well as SL - more so because Japan actually has a winter while SL does not. If this was a concern for transmission fluid Japs would have it much worse than us.

    stop and go traffic beats any winter by miles.Ask any mechanic the state of cvt oil,the filter after 2 years and the performance change.Drivng 40k you can do under 3 months too what then?11000km you can do over years too.same thing.Not me ask any mechanic.

    If you DRIVE 40k under stop-go traffic conditions within 3 months (driven under severe conditions) should the transmission fluid be replaced? - Yes

    If you drive 11k under stop-go traffic conditions within 3 years (driven under severe conditions) should the transmission fluid be replaced? - No

    Not me, refer to a workshop manual or a maintenance schedule published by people who MAKE cars. (I can post a pic of my maintenance booklet published by Mitsubishi if you like) Even under SEVERE conditions, you're not supposed to replace transmission fluid in a timely basis.

    Made in Japan but mine is an export model and exported to Sri Lanka by the manufacturer along with all warranties and recall support enjoyed by the Japanese :cool: Even the suspension is designed specifically for our road conditions (High-ground clearance) so the manufacturer wasn't messing around when recommending maintenance intervals :yes:

    severe conditions in japan!

    There's no such thing as "severe conditions in Japan" severe conditions are severe conditions regardless of the country.

    You should really read a maintenance schedule sometime ... they've nicely explained what they mean by "severe conditions".

    export manual specially to sri lanka.Give me one if you have one

    Sri Lanka is considered as a country having severe driving conditions by all Japanese car manufacturers (don't start on "Japanese severe conditions" because that's rubbish! :dull:) if you couldn't find a severe mainenance schedule which explains what they mean by "severe conditions" online I'll PM you a pic of mine when I'm home

    I don't think they give a flying shit about sri lanka as a export country.they target some other Asian countries with far better roads than us.Anyway it's upto you i myself know the performance change and seen the dust particles on the filter after 2 years change,So i would't take the risk of taking it more than two years.

    Dust particles inside the transmission filter? :eek: There's no way for dust particles to enter the transmission unless someone deliberately poured some sand down the oil dipstick opening. Transmission fluid filter is there to collect fine metal shavings off the transmission itself.

    there is no oil dipstick but there is a breath tube in cvt,or some tube i cant remeber the name.It can get contaminated in severe conditions

    Oya seen eka normal machan. Oka wadipura dannenne low speed wala hemita accelerate karaddi neda?

    0 idan speed karaddi danenne na. Speed eke gihin 20ta wage adu karala hemita aye gas dunnama hitapu gaman panina gathiyak danenawa.

    High speed wala oka dannenne na.

    Podi test ekak karala balapan. Uba thaniyama yanakota and hodata bara dala yanakota wenasak thiyenawada kiyala. Aniwa bara dala yanakota oka danena gathiya improve wei.

    Oya podi engine wala CVT wada karaddi danena widiha. oka 1000CC nisa hodai. 660CC wala ehema thawa danenawa.

    Kokatath gear oil maru karanna. Tuneup ekak karanna. Oka 11K duwala kiwwata lankawe un meter eka anith paththata duawwanawa. :D

    kattiya wadi nam gasma wadi. thaniyama yaddi nathi tharam. nawathtala gaddi enne na. bageta speed adu karala aye deddi wune. break pagala adu karala wege anith pattata aye gas deddi une. gear oil maru karala e wada tikq karannam
