Hi! I had my 100,000kms Major Service at like around 96,000kms

Now its on 101,100kms therefore going to do a minor service.

Currently on the list:

Engine Oil

Oil Filter

Checking Brakes and Suspension

Also when should i change the gearbox oil? ( its a R34 N/A AUTO TIPTRONIC )

My mechanic put Castrol Dextron III in my gearbox in my major service.

But i heard that people use Castrol Transmax Z and its better.

But isnt Dextron III the same as Transmax Z but just different names?

Well if im wrong please correct me.

Thx for any help

Dexron III is just a specification, Transmax Z meets the Dexron III specification amongst others.. transmax is fully synthetic, The Castrol Dexron III fluid is most likely just some cheap shitty mineral or semi synth fluid.

Yerp, the Castrol Dexron III is a mineral base fluid. If on a budget the Nulon Dx III is a semi synthetic for the same price and is a good seller.
