Re: Kizashi second thoughts.. buyer's remorse.

At this point, this is what I recommend. Drain fluid( using drain plug) into clean container. reinstall plug. remove pan bolts starting from rear and leaving 1 or 2 front bolts so you can slowly drain remaining fluid from the pan . Lower pan and post here a picture of contents in pan floor so I can...

Re: Kizashi second thoughts.. buyer's remorse.

Uggghh.. Finding out now my dealer probably won't help me and if I try to sell this car, I will stand to lose about $3k! I usually as rule of thumb and my character, will do a lot of research before spending this kind of money.. this time I did not. Now I'm in to this $6400.00 including TTL.. may as...

Re: Kizashi second thoughts.. buyer's remorse.

Re: Kizashi second thoughts.. buyer's remorse.

Castrol is a good replacement fluid but it is red in color. I never use it for the simple reason as it can be mistaken for other types and I never wanted to be wrongly accused of someones trans failing . I use Gulf brand. On the filter in the pan, if replacing it, always make sure it looks identica...

Re: Kizashi second thoughts.. buyer's remorse.

Given the looks of your Kizashi, it looks like it was well-cared for and even has a history of a CVT fluid change at 55K. At the current mileage, I'd change it again. The problem with the CVT was largely that Suzuki treated the transmission as "service-free". The reality was that it neede...

Re: Greetings from Wisconsin!

Welcome! Your car looks great in the photos from the other post. You also found the perfect place to discuss the Kizashi. Thanks! I just ordered rear shocks as one of them is blown out..pretty common from what I'm reading. Also a pretty easy job. While at it I ordered 6 quarts of Castrol synthetic ...
