Manual transmission cars use a type of oil that is similar to engine oil but its viscosity is thicker. Automatic transmission cars need a specific fluid called ATF. You should always use the type of oil indicated in the owner's manual of the car or an equivalent one. You should also respect the oil change intervals.
I needed to change the 8 engine water caps, I took my car to the nearest workshop and have them done. In the same day I drove the car away and after one hour when I stopped the car and started again the automatic gearbox stopped functioning neither drive nor reverse. I called up the workshop technician, he came over added 2 liters of gearbox oil and checked the right wheel transmission shaft and it's ball joints, yet he couldn't solve the problem. I towed my car home and don't know what to do. If anyone can help I'll be very grateful.
