Suzuki AGS Actuator Fluid Change

[@moensultan6108]

Hi. Really helpful. Got every info required after watching video

[@irtazafaheem]

Bro you rock! I was looking to change the actuator oil. Couldn't find the genuine ECSTAR replacement anywhere. Found an alternative, Ravenol GHA-F, but that was also not available anywhere. Saw your video just now, looked up Addinol AHF 22 S and that is indeed available and meets the requirements.

[@pastewax-pk]

I am glad it was helpful for you

Ecstar transmission oil (actuator fluid) available on Boodmo online

[@aviator_2401]

Check in boomoo..you’ll find the OEM 75W-80 there

[@treadmillrepair754]

Some days ago I receive my scanner Xtool PS701 Pro, this scanner comes with the funtion "Oil Discharge" This funtion send all the hidraulic fluid to the tank for changing, you can see how the fluid level goes up. Scanner cost is Us$240 dollars.

[@pastewax-pk]

Using a scan tool to discharge the oil is the official method to change the actuator fluid. But the question one should ask is, should I spend that much money on an expensive scan tool as a DIY person? If you don't use a scanner to discharge oil, not all the fluid will be replaced using my method. This is why I changed the fluid again after a couple of months.

[@treadmillrepair754]

@@pastewax-pk Hi, yes it is, after a long search I found the Xtool PS701 Pro for Us$240 dollars, others scanners with all the maintenance funtions cost twice or more. I am a Preper, now I am ready for any future repair if is needed. Best Regards.

Heyy brother greetings and good day to you. Mycar is having a lot of problem in shifting gear. It's working but making weird noices while the gear is shift. Also carr stop working automatically whenever the brake pedal is pushed so I'd to start it again. Sometimes gearshifting won't work and car doesn't move. Please could u help in any way or how to contact u. I'll be grateful. Best Regards

My Goodness. Thank you. Please keep making videos. I want to learn

[@TravelogsIndia]

Bro. Is this what is called AGS Gearbox oil ? As the showroom technician explained. Mine is now 1.5 inches above min. Mark and 6 more inches below min mark till the bottom. Should i top up or replace it ? In India. Wagon R VXi AGS 1.0 2023. Please reply and also give link to change ags gearbox (trans) oil

[@pastewax-pk]

This is not gear box oil. It's actuator fluid. If you open the driver's side door the fluid drops to min mark. This is normal. But if it drops below min, top-up to min mark. If it keeps dropping below min, then there could be a leak in the system which should be diagnosed and fixed.

[@TravelogsIndia]

@@pastewax-pk oh my... Thank you so much for the explanation bro. You saved me a thousands of rupees. I was thinking that I should have to get to the workshop and get it checked. And till how much level below minimum mark is considered safe to drive upto ? Because my current running is 5700 kms only. At how many kms should I top up or replace the oil ? And after how many kms should I replace the Gearbox (Diff. Oil) ?💐

[@pastewax-pk]

@@TravelogsIndia Better check your owner's manual for gearbox oil change interval. If the owner's manual don't state any thing about actuator fluid, then change the actuator fluid whenever you are changing the gear oil.

Beautiful ASMR type demonstration Link to buy the fluid? Would it be suitable for the Tata AMT kit oil? As in your case, neither does Tata know about this service, nor do they have the oil in stock.

[@pastewax-pk]

No idea about Tata. I am not based in India. Link to fluid is given in the description but that's for Pakistan only. I came to know from my Indian friends that OEM Suzuki AGS actuator fluid is available in India. If that's the case, better go with OEM fluid

[@CanSee-e4i]

Thank you for the video and all information. Why you pull out the battery ( - ) cable ? Again thanks in advance

To avoid AGS unit sucking the actuator fluid when the reservoir bottle is empty during the change procedure. This can happen if someone open the driver side door.

Could you make a video about AGS transmission oil or tell us whether it's okay to use kixx 75w or similar "non suzuki branded" transmission oils? Also what do you think of guard products, such as guard brake oils?

[@pastewax-pk]

I answered the exact same question on PakWheels forum. Check my reply here www.pakwheels.com/forums/t/lubricant-discussion-engine-oil-gear-oil/1315150/2994 I changed the AGS gear oil last year, but couldn't record it due to shortage of time. I will try to it next time. Guard brake fluid is fine. I replaced my brake fluid a couple of days back with Guard DOT 4 (you can safely use DOT 4 where DOT 3 is recommended). So far the experience is good. Make sure you buy genuine Guard product. I bought mine from Daraz because they have a Flagship store, and you will get original product guaranteed. www.daraz.pk/guard-brake-oil/?q=All-Products&langFlag=en&from=wangpu&lang=en&pageTypeId=2

[@torb69]

​@@pastewax-pkthanks a lot bro, btw I forgot to check the answers lol I was the one who posted that question. Also how many ml is needed for cultus brake oil if I do a complete flush and refill. Or should I just top it up, it has 45k km driven and brake oil level is touching the min level. Also did you change gear oil with genuine ecstar, it costed you 23k and full 3 liters poured?

[@pastewax-pk]

@@torb69 Brake fluid goes down progressively as the brake pad wears out. Since you have crossed 45k, you must change the brake fluid. Brake fluid change interval is 40k or 2 years, whichever comes first. Follow it strictly to avoid rusting in the brake lines. You need 1 liter for flush. Yes, I changed the gear oil with OEM ecstar. I changed it 1 or 2 year back I guess and at that time its cost was PKR 16,500. Unfortunately, prices have gone up massively. But still, if you think that it could be used up to 60k km, it's fine.

@@ImranKhan-te9zk I am sorry for your loss. Unfortunately, many mechanics are pouring brake fluid in AGS actuator. This misunderstanding comes from Honda Vezel whose owner's manual allow DOT 4 fluid in DCT actuator. But in case of Suzuki, only the recommended fluid should be used. If you can't find the OEM fluid, better match the part number to get the correct aftermarket fluid.

[@ImranKhan-te9zk]

@@pastewax-pk yes some one said Addinoil Fluid formula is same as genuine fluid

[@codenamearun]

Why u disconnect battery before draining oil.

[@pastewax-pk]

Because the actuator activates when the driver side door opens and fluid is sucked in, and the level drops in the reservoir. I don't want the actuator to run dry if I or someone else accidentally opens the driver side door.

If you have MGP parts distributor you can order the genuine fluid from there and the one you used is for automatic transmission which is totally not correct for this type of actuator. Ecstar fluid has special branded AMT fluid available on order at maruti parts outlet, only that should be used otherwise there is leak in the seal. I am telling you this as i have faced leak issue very recently

[@KwetsNaTa]

No re-learn needed?

[@pastewax-pk]

Not with this method because we are not touching the AGS unit.

[@davidsonkisengese4208]

why did manufacturers of this car make it without available Actuator fluid? Every car model should be accompanied by its spare parts and replaceable fluids once it is rolled out from the factory. Making a car whose spare parts are not available is equal to spelling doom on the same car who would you wish to own such car? Again this AGS gearbox needs lots of improvement where i come from, the car is reporting unusual gearbox failures and buyers would not buy the same car again, given another chance. Manufacturer of this car should act on this before it is too late.

[@pastewax-pk]

Suzuki OEM actuator fluid is not available in my country (Pakistan). Even though Suzuki is officially doing business here. Apart from that all spare parts are available. Not sure why they don't offer actuator fluid. On the other hand, it's easily available in India. If you talk about failures, the majority of the modern automatic transmissions are a mess. Almost all of them fail at early stages. I am referring to CVT, DCT, Suzuki AGS. The only automatics that are reliable are traditional torque converter based planetary 4, 5, or 6 speed gear boxes (Disclaimer: make sure you research common vehicle issues before purchasing because not everything with 4, 5, 6 speed is reliable). Even 8, 9, or 10 speed gear boxes are crap. The truth is we have to learn to live with these automatics. You should learn to drive and maintain them to prolong its life as much as possible. In case of Suzuki AGS, I drive in manual mode all the time because when I let the computer do the shifting specially on speed bumps or stop and go traffic, it slips the clutch a lot in 2nd gear. This is why vehicles with Suzuki AGS premature clutch failure is very common. In case of CVTs, never drive aggressively. If you drive in hilly areas a lot, avoid this transmission. Use obd2 device to monitor CVTF temp since they rise crazy high quickly. Personally I saw temperatures rising up to 116C when I was taking the vehicle uphill at speeds of 10~20 kph for an hour due to poor road conditions. This is where you have to stop the vehicle. Using an external cooler is another option. If your vehicle ever faces such temperatures, you should change CVT fluid as soon as the trip ends. Apart from that strictly follow manufacturer's recommended CVTF change interval. In case of Hondas, it's usually 2 years or 40,000 km which ever comes first. The point is you can modify your driving behavior and strictly maintain the transmissions in order to prolong its life.

[@treadmillrepair754]

Is posible to find many hidraulic fluid better than original, like Ravenol GHA-F, Pentosin CHF 11s and many others. I bought all the parts for the AMT/AGS actuator for no more than Us$600 dollars. One scanner with all the learning and maintenance funtions for cars with AMT/AGS. My car is a 2019 Suzuki Celerio, remove the AMT/AGS module is very simple in my car If you need some fix on it. Removing three nuts only plus battery holder, is very easy to do. Best Regards.
