Degradation and wear analysis of automatic transmission fluid (ATF) of 1.3l automatic transmission (AT) vehicle / Syazuan Abdul Latip

Ascending number of vehicles around the globe leads to higher rates of growth in demand for oil. In the context of Malaysia, this growth expected to be more rapid in years to come which may contribute to depletion of oil resources. In order to conserve and sustain oil resources, there is a need to e...
