[@rickbeam2325]

Thanks Scotty. Another Very Good Video. I'm a ASE Certified Master Tech. I've Been working on cars 45 yrs ,(Since I was 11 yrs but getting paid for it by 14 yrs) I'm kinda Surprised you let your Automatics go to 40,000 miles between Fluid,/Filter Servicing. We were told in Tech School (Automatic Trans Class) AAI that 22,000 was about the Ceiling due to fluid breakdown, contaminsnts, and hot/Cold Variations that happen within Such mileage use.. They said key factor to long Automatics life is keeping heat down ... Ie if you over heat enhine the trans gets overheated too. Due to lines of tranny going to and from Radiator. So bypassing to a aftermarket cooler for air cooling fluid was recommended I Always Change my Fluid in my Automatics at 18-22,000. I've never lost a Automatic that was sound internally before I got it ... So I haven't lost one... Most of mine Have been 3 speed Torque flites as well. Which are good reliables too.

[@nateonfireball]

I’d agree I’d include ZF transmissions too! They’re amazing and go from a 300 hp V6 application to 840 hp demon application! They shift better than the Ford or GM product up and down! I honestly think the auto trans is the weakest point in non FCA domestic vehicles. Also DCT transmissions are amazing to drive. They’re a lot more responsive than even some of the best torque converter based automatics because they don’t need line pressure to make a quick, snappy shift. Complex and expensive but very efficient (based more on a manual trans design) and very quick!

[@seansmith9196]

I agree with you, I have a 2016 bmw 328i, which has 8-speed ZF trans. And I have 2016 Acura ILX with 8-speed Dual clutch auto. but does a torque converter. The ZF has little delays between gears, but very smooth, but DCT shifts very fast, the only problem with that particular trans is jerky shifts in the lower gear.

[@md2k8]

The 2011 and 2012 Ford Fusion Sport AWD has the six-speed Aisin automatic transmission with sport or manual-shift mode. These 2011 and 2012 Fusion Sport's do last long, because the transmission is made in Japan and it is more reliable than other Fusion models. You are better off getting a Fusion Sport AWD for a first car, whether if you are a student or a novice driver.

It will lead to you having to change other components, depending on it's history, but shouldn't be too bad if you buy an easy-to-work-on vehicle, like a 90s s10. Just make sure you bring somebody with experience so you dont buy a vehicle that has a blown head gasket or something a little much for your experience.

If you have the service records, see what type of oil was used. If it was conventional (not synthetic), consider keeping the car on conventional, though going to synthetic at that mileage should be OK. If it was synthetic, keep it there. Conventional oil prob. recommend Castrol or Valvoline. Most synthetic oil is fine; the best one is probably Pennzoil Platinum or Ultra Platinum, depending on what viscosity is recommended by Toyota for your car.

[@wholeNwon]

Follow the manual. Change the oil and filter every 5K. Do it YOURSELF. NEVER trust a quick change place or the dealer. If you have a TRUSTED mechanic, he can do the changes. You should buy your own oil and filter. If you don't have a local, trusted mechanic, find one! Tire changes, always hand torque the lug nuts. Use genuine Toyota ATF and the correct Toyota coolant.

[@davidg5704]

@@wholeNwon 100% agree, make sure the trans fluid is WS like Toyotas fluid. Synthetic is the best imo because it clings to the upper engine better than regular oil and flows better in colder temps.

[@Yota4Life]

Castrol or valvoline, pennzoil is good too.. whatever is on sale and oem filter.

[@wholeNwon]

API service SN/ILSAC GF-5, otherwise makes absolutely no difference which oil you buy.

[@angelomarban3849]

Nice info. Thanks for it.

[@cuttingedgecool7235]

Great video Scotty, I know how you feel about BMWs but my 2011 335i has a ZF 6AT. It's my understanding that ZF makes a very stout and reliable torque converter automatic transmission.

[@mschiffel1]

Scotty...what about the ZF transmissions?...do they compare favorably to the AISIN transmissions?

[@donhall1834]

Hey Scotty, who makes the best cargo vans?

[@boomerguy9935]

Aisin made the 6-speed manual transmissions for the Honda S2000, Miata and Mini Cooper. They weren't limited to just automatic transmissions. From what I've heard, they were all great transmissions.

Question: What are the intervals for changing the fluids in your car? i.e. Oil, transmission fluid, differential fluid, coolant, brake fluid, power steering fluid, etc.

[@dannyspitzer1267]

Yeah I'd like to hear from Scotty on that too...good question

[@tardeliesmagic]

Me three.Go on Scotty do a video please.

[@konanoobiemaster]

RTFM - the maintenance schedule tells you everything you need to know.

[@alexmorangelli3319]

read the owner’s manual?

[@TaijiArban]

It differs for every vehicle. Just check your owners manual and you should be good.

[@dr.fishing5740]

I love your vids scotty, BUT.... Never in the history of Ram Cummins trucks did they use an Allison.. They always used Chrysler trans and now the Aisin.. Chevy has always used the Allison behind the Duramax

[@douglastwomey]

The ram diesel did come with the option of a 6 speed Allison trans,. same as in the chevy. Not the first time GM and Dodge have shared tranny's. In the early 90's the NV4500 5spd manual was in both the chevy and dodge diesel and gas, NV=New Venture was a collaboration between chevy and Chrysler.

[@russellparis2137]

Scotty you never mentionned ZF transmissions why not?!?!

[@Reaper1947]

For sure some are better than others, but I think a lot of it is because of a lack of maintenance. If someone told me that 90% of owners NEVER changed the fluid in their transmissions I would tend to believe it. All stop and go city driving in hot weather, carrying too much weight, jackrabbit starts, low fluid levels etc. all take a toll on automatic transmissions. Ask a transmission rebuilder how often he changes the fluid in his own vehicles, he will give you an ear full. TheReaper!

[@alienchaser636]

Not all transmission need oil change

[@gerher9416]

bought a Honda with horrible speed change, 5th wasnt even an option, changed the transmission oil and it was like another car! still miss that smooth transmission

[@redbeak1453]

My 96 Volvo 850 uses a Aisin Trans. No problems at all in 23 years. My daughter drives a 87 volvo 240Dl which uses Aisin-Warner trans. Just change fluid and these Trans seem to run forever. Scotty is right on. They are the best built trans.

The 4l80e and the 6l80e chevrolet transmissions are some of the best out there. When paired with the l 6 litre vortec... Nearly legendary

[@pooky9775]

yeah they're good but BMW and Mercedes doesn't give you a service interval for them so people don't change the pan and the fluid they end up braking down also on German brands ZF is good but stay away from Getrag i personally had issues with it

Hey Scotty I do a lot of research and can figure out a lot of stuff on my own however lately it’s becoming more and more difficult I believe personally it’s because the manufacturers and of the automobiles don’t want you to be able to find information for yourself as easily as it used to be but with that said my question is once you own a vehicle in my case I own a 2017 Nissan frontier V6 how do I go about finding the information on for example The transmission I’m trying to find out what kind is in there what is the easiest way to get that kind of information about what is in my car or other peoples cars for example thank you love the videos keep them coming.

[@johnstevenson4258]

I own a 2016 Mazda6, which I bought in part because of the way the six-speed auto shifts. I didn't know it was the recently developed Skyactiv etc., but I know it now. Three years and 38,000 miles later, the little Mazda-built tranny is still as smooth as butter. It's even fun to occasionally use what I think of as the faux-manual mode -- something I've not liked on any other car I've driven, including late-model Camrys. As a bonus, the sport mode changes the shift points and really ratchets up the fun factor quite a bit.
