When replacing a lubricating element, many car enthusiasts always have the same question: what exactly is the oil consumption in the Mitsubishi Lancer 9 and 10 engine and how much it should be bought. We will try to give comprehensive answers to these and other questions that concern many car enthusiasts in this article.

Replacing the engine lubricant mixture on a Mitsubishi Lancer 9-10 is the same mandatory process as on any other car. According to the instructions that come with the car from the factory, the Mitsubishi Lancer oil must be replaced every 15,000 km or during Maintenance. In our conditions, which can be classified as extreme (city polluted dusty roads or country dirt roads), the lubricant mixture should be changed 2 times more often, that is, every 7.5 thousand kilometers. When looking through your vehicle's manual, be sure to find the section that talks about lubricant consumption for your engine type.

What kind of oil should I put in the engine?

Almost any lubricant can be poured into the engine of Mitsubishi Lancer 9-10 cars famous brands, suitable for our climatic conditions. This is mainly oil with a viscosity of 5W30-5W40. But here you also need to start from what exactly climatic conditions planning to use a car.

Replacement process

Changing the engine lubrication in a Lancer, unlike the gearbox, is a fairly easy process that even an inexperienced car enthusiast can do.

Oil consumption

The engines of Mitsubishi Lancer 9 and 10 cars are very similar in design, therefore the lubricant consumption required for replacement is the same.

For these cars you will need about 3 or 4 liters, depending on the volume power unit, taking into account the fact that a small part of it will be poured into the new oil filter.

The total volume of the lubricating mixture together with the volume of the oil filter in the power unit:

• 1.6-1.3 – 3.3 liters,
• 2.0 – 4.3 liters.

If we talk about the specific consumption of lubricant in Mitsubishi Lancer 9-10 engines, then we need to take into account the fact that it is never possible to completely drain the oil - about 300 grams will always remain in the system.

To change the oil on a Lancer, you need to buy a 3 or 4 liter canister.

Tools

Replacement steps

Attention! When you change motor lubricant on the Lancer, the engine warms up and, naturally, the oil heats up. The temperature can be quite high and if it gets on open areas body can cause quite severe burns! Therefore, be careful and wear protective clothing and gloves.

Lancer 9

1. Start the engine and wait until it warms up to operating temperature.
2. Shut it down.
3. Unscrew the plug for filling the lubricant mixture into the engine - you will pour lubricant into it.
4. Carefully, so as not to get burned, unscrew the plug to drain the old oil.
5. Drain it.
6. Using a wrench, unscrew the old filter element.
7. Thoroughly clean the mounting area of ​​the oil filter element.
8. IN new filter fill with fresh motor oil.

   

9. Slowly pour oil through the neck. If the shape of the canister is inconvenient, use a funnel. Consumption should be 3-4 liters, depending on engine size.
10. Screw in the oil filler cap.
11. Check for leaks from under the filter and plugs.
12. Start the power unit and let it run for 5-10 minutes.
13. Measure the oil level and add if necessary.

That's the whole process, it will take no more than a few hours, but it will save you from a trip to the service station, standing in line and spending extra money.

Popular Mitsubishi car Every Russian car enthusiast knows Lancer 9. It must also be said that this car has gained worldwide fame - largely due to its balanced characteristics, high-quality materials and low cost of maintenance. This can explain the fact that Mitsubishi Lancer 9 continues to enjoy strong demand in the supported market. It is readily purchased by novice car enthusiasts, as well as experienced drivers with experience. Most people service the car themselves, and this raises a lot of questions, especially for beginners. In this article we will look at one of the simplest and important procedures maintenance - what kind of oil to pour into the Mitsubishi Lancer 9 engine. In this regard, the article provides relevant parameters and recommendations.

The manufacturer advises changing the lubricant in the Lancer every 15 thousand kilometers. But if the car is often used on dusty roads or in rural areas, in this case, the replacement schedule is reduced to 8 thousand kilometers.
In the cold season, it is advisable to change the lubricant every six months, and for constant use in urban conditions - every four months. TO difficult conditions exploitation can clearly be attributed to:

• driving around a metropolis, and with a large concentration of cars
• driving short distances
• Parking a car on the street
• Driving in dusty conditions
• Use of low-quality fuel

Selection of oil by parameters

Before choosing a brand, you should pay attention to the parameters of the liquid. For example, viscosity grade for Mitsubishi engine Lancer 9 should be marked 5W30-5W-40, which indicates adaptability to specific temperatures environment. As for the volume of liquid to be filled, it is better to purchase a whole canister so that there is a reserve of oil - you may have to add it if necessary.

Oil filter

Along with changing the oil, it is recommended to install a new oil filter, which is considered disposable, even if it is in good condition. It’s better not to skimp on this penny detail. The filter cleans and collects microparticles, including metal shavings, and prevents them from passing inside the power unit. When a filter becomes clogged, it loses its filtering properties. Because of this, all the dirt accumulates inside the motor components.

Basic selection rules suitable lubricant for Mitsubishi Lancer 9:

• You must be guided only by the official parameters specified in the Mitsubishi Lancer user manual
• Use only high quality original oil. More affordable analogues that have a set of suitable parameters are also suitable
• It is not recommended to use another oil or mix it with the originally filled fluid - for example, the one that came from the factory. That is why when choosing analogues you need to pay attention to compliance with the parameters.
• The pattern is that what older engine, the oil should have a higher viscosity
• The ideal viscosity parameters for summer type oil are 5W-40. For winter the most the best option considered 0W30.

The best oil brands

• DiaQueen SM/GF-4 – Japanese oil, which has proven itself in Mitsubishi engines Lancer 9
• Lubrolene SM-X - semi-synthetic, designed for high-tech Mitsubishi GDI and Mivec engines
• Motors Engine OIL - oil from a Singapore company, has the status original oil, and approved by Mitsubishi Motors
• Diamond is an American-made synthetic. This brand also has very good reviews by the majority of users.

Conclusion

An optimally selected lubricant will contribute to long and uninterrupted operation Mitsubishi Lancer 9 engine, and regular replacement oil will provide the car with quality and reliability for several years to come.

The ninth generation of the popular golf-class Mitsubishi Lancer first saw the light of day in 2000. The model was first available on the Japanese market, and only its 2003 restyled version reached the rest of the world. It is the updated Lancer of 2003 that is considered the first representative of the 9th generation of the model in Europe. Lancer IX was offered in station wagon and sedan bodies and differed from the Japanese version of 2000 in a slightly different shape of the front end. The model looked quite aggressive and literally caught your eye with a large chrome badge, a “muscular” design and a double grille. But there were also less positive features in the form of the absence of an automatic transmission, all-wheel drive versions, as well as cheap interior finishing materials.

The presentation of the ninth generation of the car took place at the Moscow Motor Show. Mitsubishi Lancer occupied a free niche between Galant and Colt, providing worthy competition to the Volkswagen Jetta, Kia Cerato, Mazda 3, Toyota Corolla and Ford Focus models. On this moment The car is being produced in the 10th generation (the presentation of the prototype took place at Frankfurt Motor Show 2005).

This is a reliable representative of the golf class, which was equipped with gasoline power plants with a working volume of 1.3, 1.6, 1.8 and 2.0 liters. Next we will consider what kind of oil and how much should be poured into such engines. Engines 1.3, 1.6 and 2.0 are injection and made of a special alloy, thanks to which they have a reduced weight. Regarding fuel consumption - the manufacturer has made maximum efforts to reduce them to 6.4-7.0 liters per mixed cycle on units 1.3-1.8 and 9.7 liters on a 135-horsepower Mitsubishi 4G63 2.0. The power of the engine range varies from 82 to 160 hp. A modification with a 2.4-liter unit was produced only for the North American market.

The engine oil must be changed regularly. For example, experts recommend performing it every 10-12 thousand km. Although there are car owners who change the oil every 8 thousand km. It definitely won’t make things worse; the more often the engine oil is changed, the better. Mitsubishi Lancer 9 oil change special problems does not cause any problems, you can pick up the oil at any auto store, and the oil filter is there too.

Lancer 9 engine oil volume

Depending on the engine size, different amounts of oil are required. The larger the engine volume, therefore more oil required.

• 1.3/1.6 engine - oil volume for replacement 3.3 liters
• 2.0 engine - required oil volume 4.3 liters

If at your next oil change you decide to change it to another brand of oil, you should also buy a special flushing oil and flush the motor before replacing.

Characteristics of the required Lancer 9 engine oil

The choice of engine oil is based on the manufacturer's recommendations for the type of engine. Oil must match ACEA specifications A3 and API SG (or higher) with viscosity OW-30. OW-40, 5W-30 or 5W-40. Based temperature conditions and vehicle mileage, the appropriate oil is selected.

For example, if you operate a car in areas with strong motors, thick oil will not fit, engine in severe frost it will be difficult to scroll through it. In hot climates, on the contrary, it is too liquid oil there's no point in pouring.

As a rule, most often car owners choose oils: SAE 5w-30, SAE 5w40, SAE 10w40. The choice of oil manufacturer depends on preferences and recommendations. Marketing works more here; each oil brand relies on some of its own characteristics. Ultimately, everyone has the same function. However, the engine can “eat up” some types of motor oils. It would seem that everything is in order with the engine, but the oil is leaking. This does not mean that it is time to seek engine repair, but rather the oil is like that.

1. After 100,000 mileage, try to change the oil more often
2. Do not buy cheap oils from dubious stores
3. When changing oil brand, always flush the engine with flushing oil.
4. The oil filter must be changed at every oil change.

Mitsubishi Lancer IX is a typical representative of an extensive family passenger cars C-Class, originally developed for Japanese market. Appearing in local showrooms in 2000, it was sold under the name Cedia. Two years later, car sales started in North America and Australia, and in 2003 Lancer began to be sold in Europe (in Russia a year later). Ninth Lancer generation, like all the previous ones, turned out to be in demand all over the world, including our country - Japanese assembly has long been known for its excellent quality.

Instructions for changing engine oil in Mitsubishi Lancer 9.

But for domestic owners For this brand, the biggest problem is the high cost of repairs, so compliance with the regulations for the Lancer 9 is not only the key to maximizing the life of the power unit, but also saving significant funds on car repairs. Since the auto chemical market today is unusually large, even experienced owners have questions about purchasing suitable motor lubricant. And for many, the procedure itself, performed for the first time or after a long break, can cause difficulties, which we will try to resolve in this article.

Oil change interval

The automaker itself also recommends an oil filter after every 15 thousand kilometers. However for Russian conditions this interval should definitely be reduced - otherwise, as many owners of the ninth Lancer claim, they will have to face increased consumption motor lubrication. Moreover, this problem concerns those who have not purchased new car, on the odometer of which the numbers have crossed the 100 thousand kilometers mark. However, as car service statistics show, even on new cars, problems with oil consumption began after driving 60 thousand km, if the oil change in the Lancer 9 engine was carried out in regulatory deadlines, that is, after 15 thousand km.

In principle, a strategy focused solely on mileage is far from perfect. Especially for machines operated in harsh conditions. In megacities with their permanent traffic jams, the average owner's car is forced to spend a considerable amount of time in traffic jams, and more than half is spent sitting idle with the engine running or driving at a speed of about 5 - 10 km/h. This means that, having driven the notorious 15,000 km, the engine has worked about 700 or more hours during this time. When driving exclusively on country roads with average speed 70 – 80 km/h this figure will be a little more than 200 hours. As you can see, the difference is significant.

Based on the above, determining when to change engine lubricant should be done individually, guided by factors such as driving circumstances, driving style, and road features. But even under the most favorable circumstances, this should be done at least every 10 thousand kilometers.

Choosing engine oil

The viscosity index is considered the main criterion that you should pay attention to when deciding which oil to fill in Lancer 9. This indicator, according to international SAE classification, demonstrates the dependence of the viscosity properties of the liquid on outside temperature, which is important when starting the power unit in winter, when the thermometer needle drops well below zero, and also how much the fluidity of the oil changes under operating conditions in the most extreme mode. According to the recommendations of the automaker, the conditions suggest the possibility of using nine types of oils, depending on the operating conditions in a particular area (temperature):

T<	T=	T=	T=-10° C	T= 0° C	T= 10° C	T= 20° C	T= 30° C	T= 40° C	Т>50°С
				20W40/20W50
			15W40/15W50
		10W40/10W50
	10W30
0W40/5W40
0W30/5W30

The SAE viscosity index is not difficult to interpret. The number that appears in front of the letter W (from the word Winter) indicates at what minimum temperature the trouble-free start of the power unit is possible (the value 40 should be subtracted from the indicated number).

In other words, the 5W index means that such an oil is suitable for areas where the winter temperature almost never drops below -35° C. The number after the letter indicates high-temperature viscosity, but it is quite difficult to interpret, since this indicator is calculated based on the viscosity characteristics at temperature engine during intensive operation. This is an average indicator of the maximum and minimum viscosity of the fluid in the engine at temperatures of the order of 100 - 150 ° C. Simply put, the higher the number, the higher the viscosity of the motor lubricant in a hot engine.

Which oil is the best for the Lancer 9 engine can be seen from this table. 0W40/5W40 motor lubricants are considered the most universal - they are suitable for everything temperature range, but if the climate is not too hot, preference should be given to oils with viscosity indices 0W30/5W30 - for our conditions they are the best.

If we are talking about the manufacturer, then the decision is made based on whether you are ready to overpay for the brand, being confident that this oil will definitely not let you down. Most car owners still prefer less famous and more affordable brands, changing the fluid a little more often. Optimal choice for the Mitsubishi Lancer 9, semi-synthetics from Shell can be considered - many car enthusiasts recommend pouring for use in the summer and Helix 5W40 for driving in the winter (provided that the seasonal mileage is within 20 thousand kilometers or more). However, other oil brands have also proven themselves to be excellent - Mobile, Motul, Castrol.

How much oil to pour into the Lancer 9 engine

The numbers that are indicated in the manuals for a specific car model assume the full volume of lubricant poured into the power unit at the factory, including the liquid filling the oil filter. When changing the oil, it is almost never possible to drain the amount of oil recommended by the car manufacturer - about 0.13 - 0.3 liters of waste oil remains in the engine. Many people do not take this fact into account, wondering why the level is drained motor fluid turned out to be less than expected. This is absolutely normal. Here are the oil volumes in the Lancer 9 engine depending on the modification of the power unit:

• 1.3 AT/MT (power 82.0 hp and volume 1299 cc) – 3.30 l;
• 1.6 AT/MT (power 98.0 hp and volume 1584 cc) – 3.30 l;
• 2.0 AT/MT (power 135.0 hp and volume 1997 cc) – 4.3 liters.

As practice shows, in the first two cases, three liter containers are enough, and for a two-liter engine you can purchase 4 liter canisters or one four-liter canister without overpaying for an extra liter.

Necessary tool

Before replacing, you should make sure to purchase the following consumables:

• a new oil filter (an alternative to the original Mitsubishi MD 360935 product is the MANN W 610-3 filter);
• oil drain plug gasket (preferably original - MN 195854);
• motor oil itself, preferably synthetic.

The tools you will need are a 17mm spanner/socket wrench, a rag, and if you can’t unscrew (or rather, tear off) the oil filter by hand, you will need a special filter puller. Well, don’t forget to prepare a suitable container for used lubricant. A 5-liter container is enough, it is desirable that it has wide edges - in this case, the risk of staining the place where the fluid is replaced will be minimal.

Replacement algorithm

Before starting the procedure, it is advisable to warm up the car engine to operating temperature, for which it is enough to drive a distance of 5–10 km. Heated oil has greater fluidity (and therefore lower viscosity), due to which it will merge maximum volume working off. But if you intend to fill in a completely different motor lubricant, we strongly recommend flushing the power unit lubrication system with a special flushing fluid.

This is not difficult, although it will require additional effort from you: after draining the used fluid, you need to fill in the flushing fluid and let the engine run for about 10 - 15 minutes. And only after draining flushing lubricant you need to start replacing the oil filter.

Many experts consider this operation controversial, believing that, in addition to benefits, it can also cause harm ( flushing fluid not all of it will merge, but the residue will mix with the new oil, which will lead to the formation of sediment and contamination of the new lubricant). In their opinion, it is still advisable to use the same brand of fluid as the previous oil when replacing.

So, here's complete algorithm how to change the oil in a Lancer 9 engine:

1. Dismantling right side lower protective casing of the power unit.
   
2. Substitute exactly under drainer containers prepared in advance for waste liquid.
3. We unscrew the drain plug, being careful at the very end so that the hot oil does not burn your hands or spill past the vessel.
   
4. While the oil is draining from the drain neck of the Lancer 9 engine, use a metal brush to remove dirt from the plug and wipe it with a rag.
5. When the waste stops dripping, carefully screw the plug into place, having first replaced the gasket with a new one.
6. We try to unscrew the oil filter located on the rear wall of the Lancer IX cylinder block approximately in the area of ​​cylinder No. 1. Usually it is not possible to move it by hand, in such cases we use a special oil filter puller. If you don't have one, you can take a flat-head screwdriver, break through the side of the filter and use this tool as an extension lever.
   
7. Completely unscrew the oil filter from the cylinder block fitting.
8. Before installing the filter on regular place, lubricate with a small amount new lubricant sealing ring, making sure it is dry (some oil filters are factory treated with talcum powder or a special grease).
9. Screw on the new filter, remembering to fill it to about 65% of the new one. lubricating fluid- this is necessary in order to exclude oil starvation engine when starting the power unit. By filling the oil filter with lubricant, we ensure the fastest possible filling oil channels lubrication systems. After contact o-ring oil filter with the block flange, tighten it ¾ of a turn by hand, without using a wrench.
   
10. Removing the plug filler neck(on Mitsubishi Lancer engines, for this you need to turn it 90° in a counterclockwise direction).
11. Filling in a new one lubricant, install the plug in its original place.
12. We start the engine and let it run Idling about five minutes. We carefully watch the oil pressure lamp: it should go out 3 - 5 seconds after the engine starts running.
13. While the engine is running, check the oil filter and drain hole for fluid leaks.
14. After stopping the power unit, we re-check the lubricant level and, if necessary, top up, tighten the filter and drain plug.

A timely oil change procedure for the Mitsubishi Lancer 9 allows you to avoid expensive repairs, inevitable if this operation is not performed in a timely manner. Important The characteristics of the lubricant used also correspond to the recommendations of the car manufacturer. It should be understood that even disciplined drivers with normal use Some engine oil consumption is inevitable, depending on a large number of factors. Therefore, make it a habit to check the oil level about twice a month, or more often when using your vehicle heavily, and before every long-distance trip.
