After three months of ownership I took the Alto for a 1700km drive, with 3 people & luggage for 4nights onboard it didnt miss a beat and was quite happy to sit at 100kmph on the highway from Mattala to Kadawatha. There were no complaints from the occupants as well. I think its a good stop gap car· 0 replies

So, now some say personal vehicle imports will commence next year, and prices of existing vehicles will drop?· 5 replies
This poses an interesting argument in my head, I'm not in finance, nor banking, nor a car sale guy,
Just a petrolhead from a Healthcare related background.
So to elaborate,
Hypothetically say imports were allowed, empirically the USD will shoot further-it will be a catastrophic claim where the poor would say, the rich took our USD to bring cars and now we gotta pay 2000 bucks to buy milk?
Thus the price of these New vehicles will be unfathomable for the average joe as after all its paid for in such USD? maybe the first few imports may cost less due to the rate.
Secondly, now as far as I know, there is no guarantee that the govt. will follow the same taxing system as before the imports were restricted, after all they too have to make a buck, and they too have control the seepage of USD.
Could it be just a futile attempt of allowing imports for IMF sake and can they just bottleneck the whole thing with a heap of taxes?
Thirdly there maybe a possibility where they allow vehicles more than 10y old to be reeled in as well, technically "new" yet old models may find themselves here, how will the market welcome these?
Lastly I have noticed a heap of good well taken care of cars paraded on marketplace and various websites, thus I guess its either people wanting to shed off luxuries to save their money or people are hoarding cash for a new car.
Feel free to share your opinions, the more the merrier!, and please correct me if I am wrong
I chose the forum here as the crew would be rather mature than get abused on rapid rev.

Question
MiraOwner
Planning on doing an ATF flush by myself. the motor has done 150K+ on the odo. so wondering what type of oil would be best suited. and is there any type of additive that i can use for to clean up the built up gunk? has anyone tried this before..
my approach would be as described below. you are welcome to criticize.
1. Remove the drain plug of the transmission and drain the ATF completely.
2. Put the drain plug back on and fill the ATF back to the normal level with fresh oil via ATF dip stick opening.
3. Remove the hose which takes ATF oil to the radiator for cooling and plug it to a lengthier hose which ends up in a bucket to collect the fluid outside the engine bay.
4. start the motor and watch the ATF squirt out of the hose into the bucket till the ATF changes to a crispy red (in the meantime keep pouring ATF into the transmission)
5. finally when the gunk is cleared. stop the engine and top up the ATF to normal levels.
what i need to know is the following.
A. is the above process recommended (if at all correct)
B. what is the best oil that i can use (when i mean best i mean BEST)
C. and is there any additive in the market that i can use along with the ATF?
Thanks in advance!
