Proton and Petronas have just launched a co-brand automatic transmission fluid (ATF) in Putrajaya moments ago. The ATF, which is called ATF-XP3, was jointly developed by the national carmaker and Petronas. It’s specially formulated and extensively field tested for Proton cars, according to the carmaker.
The ATF-XP3 is manufactured from highly refined high viscosity index unconventional base oils, and it contains unique friction modifying properties for smooth transmission operation, better protection against wear and improved cleanliness. The ATF-XP3 is also claimed to offer exceptional high and low temperature protection.
Meeting Proton’s PES-1133 standard, the ATF-XP3 is recommended for use in auto ‘boxes where Dexron type fluid is not suitable. The new product is also suitable for auto transmissions with a slip-controlled torque converter which requires ATF-9.

The ATF-XP3 can be used on the following auto models: Saga (1985-2007), Saga BLM, Iswara, Wira/Satria/Putra (1993-2008), Waja (2000, Campro and CPS), Gen2/Satria Neo (Campro and CPS), Persona and Exora. ATF-XP3 is NOT recommended for use in the Perdana, Waja 1.8 and Savvy. It’s also NOT for the Inspira with CVT.
The ATF-XP3 (1 litre bottle) retails for RM29.96 in Peninsular Malaysia and RM30.46 in East Malaysia. It’s available nationwide in all Proton service centres and will be the default recommended ATF from now, replacing the Proton ATF-SP111, which costs RM30.91, so there’s a bit of savings involved.

How much transmission fluid will be in that big bottle? hahaha… :D
No need to fake the thumbs uplah.
they coudnt get a better model ahh
they couldn’t get a better model ahh
cant wait for the next service….will try this ATF,…
How come got 2 GENUINE PARTS ? ?
How do we claim our warranty then?
How come got 2 GENUINE PARTS ?
It’s just a matter of 55-cent savings per change… but who cares, as long as we can still save, right…
your GearBox cares.
Not just gearbox that cares, but our pockets also as well :D
RM 0.95 X 4 = RM 3.80 difference in Peninsular Malaysia
RM 0.55 x 4 = RM 2.20 difference in East Coast
That hurts your pocket ?
At times where living cost is expensive, every cent counts laa.
Savings at the right time is correct but I heard from my friend that went during the launching, during the Q&A, there is a question being asked that whether we can replace with this oil directly, answer is NO NO, the gearbox have to be fully flushed and the total bottles needed including new fluids is around 7-8bottles.
So savings?
bro dec28, read the last paragraph…
‘It’s available nationwide in all Proton service centres and will be the default recommended ATF from now, replacing the Proton ATF-SP111, which costs RM30.91, so there’s a bit of savings involved. ‘
Default “RECOMMENDED”
But the warranty who covers ?
‘Proton and Petronas have just launched a co-brand automatic transmission fluid (ATF)’
The warranty covers both fluids as the new ATF is intended as a replacement for the older one, but for future models it will only cover this new one, even if Proton is going to use the same auto gearbox for its future models. Inspira is a definitely no-no; it requires only CVT fluids or else the same cases like what happened to the older Honda City CVT gearbox will be plagued again. Same goes for Savvy AMT (I don’t know what kind of gearbox fuel being used).
I wouldn’t say that it’s a replacement, if it’s a replacement, why Perdana cant be used? of course we are not comparing to inspira or savvy.
Why a higher spec car can’t use this oil ?
any hidden risk of damaging our gear box??
we have been using the previous SP3 for sometime
This is actually good! coz there are just too many imitation of the old type of ATF…will be changing mine in about 3months time!
mitsubishi diaqueen SP3 rm120 a can of 4lit. hmm. I rather buy MMC
In what way this ATF is better?
If better and cheaper, I think Petronas should also partner with Proton-Lotus to set up an engineering branch to develop ATF for other makes such as Renault-Nissan, Toyota & Mitsubishi.
Lotus designs engine.. perhaps can utilize Petronas expertise in developing new ATF formulation.
wait!!!!

if i’m not mistaken….wira/satria 1.6-1.8 was using same gearbox as perdana gearbox for Auto-Trans…..but then why wira can use but not perdana???
Good Question! Thumbs up
“replacing the Proton ATF-SP111”
this statement is not true
thanks
hello.. the CVT lamp in my SAGA FLX 1.6 SE is on in my way to work. Do I need to change the auto-transmission fluid? how much will that cost?
I called Proton service centre to change my PREVE ATF for the gearbox and they quoting RM800++ plus service charge?
