PML oil change sure change oil filter... y save the cost... it’s a package.. not ws want earn money.... just like buying Bikini... normal u won’t just get the TOP and forgo the teh kor below... it sell in a set...

actually u can change just atf oil, and later about 40k later change the oil and pan filter together! but u need to do an adaptation.

It is always important to have the adaptation done after any fluid change.
By doing so, the mechantronic will adjust itself to the new fluid and forget abt those numbers that were stored. The numbers are derived from the daily driving habits eg. clutch biting pressure and shift timing. In Singapore, our driving situation is a little different as we are always in jam and at traffic junction.

Aiya different ws different pattern... best go for our sponsor ws as they do many already... also don’t because save cost and minus this minus that.. if driving for Long.. preventive maintenance is important !

it's my belief that if it ain't broken, don't fix it. personally, i won't change atf unless i feel the transmission is not smooth. but even then, i would have it checked up by ws first before jumping to the conclusion that it's an atf issue.

As i had past bad experience of my 2 rides which had jerky n delayed transmission issues awhile after i change the atf oil , even the transmission are silky smooth b4 the change at about 100,000 km ( the 2 previous rides are Mitsubishi Airtrek Turbo & a Lexus IS250)

100k is way overdue for ATF change. Probably needed an overhaul if another fluid change didn’t help
