[QUOTE="sillycarx, post: 412410, member: 17377"] I went and question the machanic which replaced my ATF. He said when he draw the ATF out of the ATF oil sump, there was some amount that was spill, and on top of that, I am not sure if the AB in Glemarie refilled by ATF to the top, since they only replaced 5l. Damn this AB glenmarie. Anyway, after about 200 KM drive after cleaning my expansion tank, the contamination seems to be either very very minimal or none. Since I only see very little contamination whcih could be left over. So yestrday I got the AB penang to remove my ATF cooler ( heat exchanger) so that I could inspect it. From the inspection, I don't see anything, in it. But the mechanic did ask around other AB service site... and apparently there were 2 cases of contamination. But interestingly the contamination was the opposite direction with the engine oil, and no report of ATF contamination. For the engine oil, the contamination happen on 1 case is with the engine head gasket, and that caused water to get into the engine block, while another case was at teh engine oil cooler. But both cases, the contamination was 1 direction from radiator cooler to engine oil line. So now, I am back to wait and see if the contamination is happening. [/QUOTE]
