Mitsubishi ASX was first seen in Geneva in 2010. In the domestic markets of Japan, the car is called the RVR and in the United States is sold as the Outlander Sport. In the Russian markets, ASX can be found with three different engines of 1.6, 1.8 and 2.0 liters. There are also diesel units with a power of 1.6 and 2.2 liters, but they never reached Russia.

In any case, a car (even a Japanese one) needs care and maintenance. The better you take care of the mechanism, the longer it will please you. Routine maintenance should be performed once every 15,000 km. Changing the oil and cleaning filters is not difficult and can be done by hand in an hour in the backyard.

Refueling volumes and oil selection

Below is the location of the table of oil capacity for different engine versions of engines. In any case, if you buy a 5 liter canister, then about a liter step aside for topping up (and this must be borne in mind).

Step-by-step instruction

Warm up a cold engine. We need to clean the crankcase of the old oil, the more it flows out the better.
For easy access to the drain plug (and in some models the oil filter is also attached from the bottom) and the bottom of the car as a whole, you need to jack it up or drive into the inspection hole (the best option). Also, in some models, "protection" of the engine crankcase can be installed.
Unscrew and pull out the dipstick and filler plug. This way we will allow air for a better stack of old mining from the crankcase.
Substitutes a large container (equal to the amount of oil being poured).
We unscrew the drain plug with a key. Sometimes the drain plug is made like a conventional “bolt” with an open-end wrench, and sometimes it can be unscrewed with a four or hexagon. Do not forget to wear protective gloves, the oil will most likely wake up warm, but you need to be careful.
We wait about 10-15 minutes until the mining drains into a basin or a cut plastic canister.
An optional item but very effective! Flushing the engine with a special fluid is not included in the maintenance schedule and is not mandatory - but. A little confused, you will much better flush the engine from the old, black oil. At the same time, flushing with the old oil filter is carried out for 5-10 minutes. You will be surprised what black oil will pour out with this liquid. It is very easy to use this liquid. A detailed description must be included on the flush fluid label.
We replace the old filter with a new one. In some models, it is not the filter itself and the filter element that changes (usually yellow). Impregnation of the filter with new oil before installation is a mandatory procedure. Lack of oil in a new filter before starting the engine can cause oil starvation, which in turn can cause filter deformation. In general, this is not a good thing. Remember to also lubricate the rubber o-ring before installation.
Fill in new oil. After making sure that the drain plug is screwed on and a new oil filter is installed, we can start filling in new oil, guided by the dipstick. The level must be between the minimum and maximum marks. Also, you need to remember that after the first start of the engine, a little oil will go away and the level will drop.
Recheck the oil level on the dipstick after the first start. Let the engine run for about 10 minutes at idle.

The quality of the motor fluid determines the operation of many components of the car, in particular, its power unit. If the oil loses its properties, then its further use does not make sense. Today you will learn how engine oil for Mitsubishi ACX changes and which consumable is better to choose.

What kind of oil to pour?

What kind of oil to pour - every Mitsubishi ACX owner asked this question. And not without reason, because these cars are sensitive to the filling of the lubricating fluid, which means that the choice of consumables should be approached with all responsibility. Therefore, Mitsubishi, like many other global auto manufacturers, has launched the production of its own oil.

In ACX cars, the manufacturer recommends filling only the original Engine Oil fluid. According to its viscosity class, this MM (motor oil) corresponds to the 5W30 classification and is a fully synthetic consumable. It complies with international API and ILSAC specifications.

How much should be poured? When changing engine fluid, about 4.2 liters of material will enter the engine, so it is recommended to purchase a five-liter canister of fluid before replacing. It is advisable to have a small supply of oil on hand so that it can be topped up if necessary. According to the regulations, the replacement of the MM should occur every 15 thousand kilometers. But if we take into account the not very high quality of the fuel and the operating conditions of the car on domestic roads, then this interval should be reduced to 10 thousand kilometers. However, this is what most Mitsubishi ACX car owners do.

In any case, Japanese-made cars require only high-quality MM to be filled. Therefore, the manufacturer's recommendations should be taken into account. If you could not find such a MM in your city, then try to contact the dealer and order products through him. You can also try to buy oil online.

We carry out a replacement

The process of replacing the lubricant in the engine is not too complicated, so any motorist can handle it.

What will be needed?

Before carrying out technical work, prepare in advance everything that you may need in the process:

new Engine Oil in a five-liter package;
new oil filter for the engine;
containers for collecting spent MM;
liquid WD-40;
slotted screwdriver;
sealing ring for the drain hole.

A special container for draining used MM - you can make a homemade Slotted screwdriver - you may need to clean the threads of the drain hole from the remnants of the old o-ring

Having prepared all this, you can proceed to the direct process of changing engine oil.

Step-by-step instruction

First you need to find a pit or a lift - so changing the MM is much more convenient.

Having driven into the pit, take a wrench and WD-40 fluid and climb under the bottom of the car. You need to dismantle the Mitsubishi ACX engine protection. To do this, lubricate the mounting bolts with WD-40 liquid and wait a few minutes so that they can sour. As a rule, the bolts turn sour and in this case they must be removed very carefully, since there is a possibility of damage to them. So, we unscrew the four screws securing the motor protection of your Mitsubishi ACX.
After removing the protection, you will see the drain plug MM.
Next, take a container for collecting used lubricant and place it under the cork. Note! The drain plug should be unscrewed when the engine has cooled down a little. On a hot engine, changing the engine fluid is highly discouraged, since hot oil can burn you, so give the unit some time to cool down.
Unscrew the drain plug with a wrench. The process of draining waste consumables has begun. Wait about 30-40 minutes until the MM is completely fused.
If you change the MM with an engine flush, then tighten the drain cap. Next, fill the engine with about four liters of flushing fluid, start the engine. Let him work for a while, or better yet, get behind the wheel and make a trip. It is necessary to drive at least 10 kilometers on the flushing material so that the liquid passes through the entire system and collects all deposits and dirt. After that, you need to call in the pit and repeat the “flushing” drain procedure.
Now you need to remove the oil filter. It is located under the bottom next to the drain plug, so it will be more convenient to remove it from under the bottom. Wrap a rag around it to make it easier, as there may be some problems with its dismantling. If you can’t remove the filter element, then use a special key - it is a chain that is wound around the filter for greater ease of dismantling.
Now again climb under the bottom of the car and replace the sealing ring for the drain hole. The old can crumble, so take a screwdriver and eliminate all the remains of the old ring.
Then you need to tighten the drain cover.
Install a new oil filter in place of the old one, after pouring a little lubricant into it. Also do not forget to lubricate the rubber elements on the filter itself, if any.
Open the MM filler neck in the engine and pour about four liters of the substance into it. Remember that when replacing MM in Mitsubishi ACX, 4.2 liters should enter the system, but if all the used fluid is not glass, then, accordingly, less will need to be filled in. In any case, use a dipstick to check the fluid level.
Start the engine and let it idle for a few minutes.
Shut off the engine, check the oil level in it on the dipstick. If everything is in order, then tighten the filler cap.
Climb under the bottom of the car and visually inspect it for leaks. If everything is normal, then screw the engine protection into place.

Changing the oil in a Mitsubishi ACX engine.

After warming up the car engine for a relatively short time, we install it on a horizontally flat surface of a viewing hole or on a lift.

Remove the engine crankcase protection.

We unscrew the bolt of the drain hole of the oil pan of the engine.

When draining engine oil, you must be extremely careful and minimize the contact of used oil on the skin.

From the pan, the remaining oil can be pumped out with a thin tube and a syringe.

We twist the drain hole of the engine pan.

Remove the used engine oil filter.

For removal, it is better to use a puller. For example, this is force 6316514

But a tape one, for example, or a clamp, is also suitable.

We clean the seat of the oil filter and install a new filter, after filling it with new oil. The rubber seal on the oil filter is also lubricated with oil. The filter must be tightened by hand.
