What are the solutions for oil leakage in the Toyota Vios transmission?
2 Answers
The cause of transmission oil leakage is due to the aging of seals (oil seals). The solutions are as follows: 1. The traditional repair method involves vehicle disassembly: However, improper operation during disassembly can lead to many other complications. Some oil leakages require dismantling the transmission, so it is advised not to dismantle it lightly. 2. A more popular solution for oil leakage nowadays is: Directly add German-made Madi DS to the oil. Under normal driving conditions, the oil leakage problem usually disappears naturally in about 14 days without delaying vehicle usage. This method does not require vehicle disassembly or repair, avoiding the waste of time and money caused by disassembly. It also allows car owners to easily solve the oil leakage problem themselves.
When I discovered oil leakage from the Toyota Vios transmission, I first checked the leakage location. The most common causes are aging oil pan gaskets or shaft oil seals. After cleaning the oil stains, observe the leakage speed to determine the severity. For minor leaks, you can drive to the repair shop without delaying too long, otherwise, low transmission fluid can damage internal gear components, leading to significantly higher costs. The solution is to visit a 4S shop or a professional repair shop to have a technician inspect and replace the gasket or oil seal as needed, while also changing the transmission fluid to prevent future leaks. My experience is to avoid slamming the accelerator during normal driving to reduce pressure and extend the seal's lifespan. After repairs, regularly check the undercarriage for oil stains to prevent recurrence and ensure safe driving. To save money, choose genuine parts to avoid counterfeit products with poor-quality seals that can cause more trouble.
