Merry Christmas!
I experienced hose burst.

On a Sunday afternoon while I was driving, I just experienced my car was revving with power in the engine.

Fast forward I discovered transmission fluid has splashed everywhere in the engine bay.

We called a mechanic who got us transmission fluid, it was refilled and we left the place.

In less than 3 weeks same thing happened again.

This time it happened few metres to my estate, I called the mechanic that normally fixes my car he got me another transmission fluid.

Don't forget the 1st I bought was still remaining in the container so he added it to the new one.

Is it ok to do this?

Pls what could be the reason for the hose pipe to keep bursting?
I have experienced it twice?

It depends on the type of car.
For some cars, their transmission may be strong enough to withstand certain conditions, others may pack up or require to drain everything and refill.
However, you need to know the root cause of the issue.
What's causing the hose to burst?

Is not good at all.

As a matter of fact, you may not notice anything wrong with the transmission immediately, so try use the one specified by the manufacturer and possibly flush the one in the system.

Moreover, u will need to rectify permanently the cause for your splashing fluid. If it is rubber hose rupturing, get a good one or better still use steel pipe for it

It's actually a 2009 toyota corolla sport.
The mechanic said it's the filter that is blocked with dirt thereby not making the fluid to flow properly.
He has cleaned it with petrol according to him and has also changed the hose.
He promised I won't experience such again.

The mech is supposed to change the filter but since he has thoroughly washed it, well it should be fine.
However, the proper transmission fluid should be used just to avoid stories that touch....that transmission is expensive ooo.

Thanks for your input Boss!
Yes the recommended fluid is
Toyota genuine ATF Type T- IV.
I will tell him to drain out the one there and get the T - IV. It's around 35k.
