I still feel the "mechanics" who 'look down' on nissans has something we don't see. They complain from engine to parts wearing out so fast, its body tears fast as well and the list is endless. Wilson./

@TheMburu : Nissan CVT : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mzjBKOssJY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OMqmpjOHWM&feature=related @Dennis, lmfao! on the probox being driven worse than matatus. That is the use of technology as an means to an end, as long as it works, drive it. I can imagine how badly animals must have been treated when there were no cars around. Sad too. **Sent from my Microsoft/Intel based computer. Affordable & reliable computing for Decades**
@TheMburu: Subaru CVT.... :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EI1-7WznrWc
My apologies, I meant the Nissan Wingroad , not the Toyota Caldina <- Do they two use rear lights from the same factory, or designs from the same house? The Nissan Wingroad can not handle a load that the Probox that will comfortably handle. As for Probox and driving, ask around, they rank up there with motorbikes and matatus when it comes to bad driving

@Dennis Kioko The probox uses Leaf Springs which is similar to pick ups, trucks and busses. This form of suspension is meant to carry heavy loads. The Wingroad on the other hand uses Coil Springs which are made for comfort. Hence the groaning when you fill it with cabbages. What you would need to move the cabbages is a Nissan ADvan. At the end of the day use the right car for the right purpose. #Iamanissanlover On 11/21/11, nerdalf <nerdalf@gmail.com> wrote:

Now that explains it for the loads and the 'box'name -- with Regards: blog.denniskioko.com <http://www.denniskioko.com/>
Hi All, I've come across this thread rather late in the day... :-) I drive a Mitsubishi Lancer with a CVT transmission. The recommended ATF for mine is (Diamond Queen) SPIII (you can get the specification for your car by pulling out the pin oil gauge and reading the specification just below the top part). The local fuel stations try to make you use the general purpose ATFs but my trusty mechanic always tells me to avoid such and go for the original "good stuff". More costly for sure, but worth every penny. And in any case you don't need to change your ATF frequently...
