Conclusion

In the operating instructions Mitsubishi car The Pajero manufacturer indicates that the use of unsuitable oil parameters can cause harm to the engine. It is also prohibited to use additional additives to motor oil.

When operating the machine in harsh conditions the motor mixture quickly loses its original properties and requires more frequent replacement than specified by the regulations. When choosing alternative motor oils, take into account the availability of approvals on the lubricant container, and when handling motor oil You must adhere to the safety measures described in the car manual.

The second generation of Mitsubishi Pajero is called an “off-road classic”, which is still in good demand today. secondary market. The model is equipped with both gasoline and diesel engines. No matter how well executed legendary car The 90s should be behind it quality care and maintenance in the form of changing the engine oil and cleaning filter.

Filling volumes and oil selection

The choice of oil viscosity should depend on the ambient temperature. For example, one viscosity is suitable for “cold” operating conditions, and another for hot climates.

• From -30 to +40 degrees it is better to choose 10w-30;
• From -10 and less (extremely low temperatures), it is recommended to fill with 5w-20;
• If the temperature does not drop below -10 degrees, use 20w-40 or 20w-50;
• If the temperature does not rise above +10, pour 5w-30 into the engine, and 5w-40;
• No more than +20 0 C - 5w-50;
• Oils that are classified as all-season can be classified as 10w-40 and 10w-50; they are used at an ambient temperature that does not fall below -30 0 C and does not rise above +50.
• Minimum temperature -15 0 C would be better suited 15w-40 or 15w-50.

WITH diesel engines You also need to choose your oil carefully.

• At temperatures above -10 degrees, use 20W-40;
• From -15 and above take 15W-40;
• From -20 to +40 - 10W-30;
• If the temperature is no more than +20, you should choose class 5W-40;
• Maximum +10, choose 5W-30 or 5W50.

About the quantity required oil, then it is determined based on the configurations and engine power.

The volume of engine oil, taking into account the filling capacity of the oil filter and oil cooler of the Mitsubishi Pajero, is:

• 4G64, 6G72, 6G74 require 4.9 liters;
• 4D56 - 6.7 l;
• 4M40 - 7.8 l.

Step-by-step instruction

1. Warming up cold engine. We need to clean the engine crankcase of old oil, the more it leaks out the better.
2. 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 on inspection hole (the best option). Also, some models may have engine crankcase “protection” installed.
3. Unscrew and pull out oil dipstick And filler plug. This way we will allow air to better drain the old waste from the crankcase.
   
4. We substitute a large container (equal to the amount of oil being poured).
5. Unscrew the drain plug with a wrench. Sometimes drain plug It is made as a regular “bolt” with an open-end wrench, and sometimes it can be unscrewed using a four- or hexagon. Don't forget to wear protective gloves, the oil will most likely wake you up warm, but you need to be careful.
   
6. We wait about 10-15 minutes until the waste flows into a basin or cut-off plastic canister.
7. Optional but very effective! Flushing the engine with a special liquid is not included in the maintenance regulations and is not mandatory - but. By getting a little confused, you will be much better at flushing out the old, black oil from the engine. In this case, wash with the old oil filter for 5-10 minutes. You'll be surprised what black oil will spill out with this liquid. This liquid is very easy to use. A detailed description should appear on the flushing fluid label.
   
8. We replace old filter on new. In some models, it is not the filter itself or the filter element (usually yellow) that is changed. Impregnating the filter with new oil before installation is a mandatory procedure. Lack of oil in the new filter before starting the engine may cause oil starvation which in turn can cause filter deformation. Overall this is not a good thing. Also remember to lubricate the rubber O-ring before installation.
   
9. Fill in new oil. After making sure that the drain plug is tightened and installed new filter After cleaning the oil, we can begin to fill in new oil using the dipstick as a guide. The level should be between the minimum and maximum marks. Also, you need to remember that after the first start of the engine, some oil will leave and the level will drop.
   
10. Execute recheck oil level on the dipstick after the first start. Let the engine idle for about 10 minutes.

When operating a car under difficult conditions, engine oil quickly loses its original properties and requires more frequent replacement than specified by regulations. When choosing alternative motor oils, take into account the approvals on the lubricant container, and when handling motor oil, you must adhere to the safety measures described in the car manual.

Viscosity and Specifications

At the manufacturer's factory, a special all-season oil is poured into the engine. High Quality, which is suitable for use at any time of the year, with the exception of particularly cold climatic zones.

You can add oil of a different specification to the engine. The viscosity of the oil should be selected in accordance with the data on . If the air temperature only briefly falls outside the temperature range shown in the figure, the oil should not be changed.

Gasoline engines

A - all-season oils with increased anti-friction properties, VW specification 500 00.

B – all-season oils, specification VW 501 01.

– all-season oils, API-SF or SG specification.

Diesel engines

A – all-season oils with increased anti-friction properties, VW specification 500 00 (for diesel engines turbocharged only when mixed with oil specification VW 505 00).

B – all-season oils, specification VW 505 00 (for all diesel engines),

– all-season oils, API-CD specification (for diesel engines with turbocharging only in case of emergency for topping up).

– all-season oils, specification VW 501 01 (for turbocharged diesel engines only when mixed with oil specification VW 505 00).

Quality of motor oils

All-season oils of specifications VW 501 01 and VW 505 00 are relatively inexpensive and have the following qualities:

– possibility of year-round use in temperate climate zones;

– excellent cleaning properties;

– good lubricity at any temperature and engine load;

– stability of initial properties over a long period of time.

All-season oils with improved antifriction properties according to the VW 500 00 specification have, in addition, additional benefits:

– possibility of use at almost any outside temperature;

– low engine power losses due to friction;

– facilitate starting a cold engine even at very low temperatures.

Warnings

Seasonal oils, due to their specific viscosity-temperature properties, usually cannot be used all year round, so they should only be used in appropriate climatic zones.

When using all-season SAE oils 5W–30 it is necessary to avoid prolonged operation of the engine with high frequency rotation and constant heavy load on the engine. These restrictions do not apply to multi-grade oils with improved antifriction properties.

Motor oil additives

Additives that reduce friction losses should not be added to engine oil.

Mixing oils

This and similar questions interest many car enthusiasts. Unfortunately, oils cannot be mixed, even if they are oils from leading manufacturers (Shell, Mobil, British Petroleum). Each company produces commercial oils by adding a whole complex of additives to the oil base, chemical composition which are kept secret. Therefore, when mixing high-quality oils of the same purpose, manufactured in accordance with the requirements of existing motor oil classification systems, but using technologies from different companies, mixtures can be obtained Low quality due to incompatibility of additives. Oils different companies are interchangeable; engine builders often indicate the possibility of using such oils. But this does not mean that they can be mixed. The API and ACEA classification systems require the same testing methods (laboratory, bench - motor, etc.) for oils from different companies. If desired (or necessary), automakers can introduce additional tests(or more severe conditions) oils.

The same applies to mixing mineral or synthetic oils (sometimes even from the same company). Synthetic oils, for example hydrocarbons, from the same company can be mixed. IN in this case The oil manufacturer gives appropriate recommendations and bears responsibility. However, it is not uncommon for oils to deteriorate in quality when mixed. As a result, the engine may knock as the mixture of incompatible oils turns to jelly.

Under no circumstances should imported and domestic oils, especially with the addition of domestic additives. Neither the seller nor the consumer knows the composition of the additives that are added to the oils. Some oils of “domestic origin” are produced by “firms” that do not even have basic knowledge of petroleum products. Sometimes such “specialists” use used oils (even without proper regeneration) to produce “commercial” ones. Use only oils recommended in the owner's manual.

No “cleaners” (Tokron, etc.) can increase octane number gasoline. For this they use special additives– anti-knock agents, which are added during the production of gasoline at oil refineries, or additives. Cause of detonation (audible metallic knock during engine operation) and glow ignition (the engine continues to operate with the ignition off), there may be carbon deposits in the combustion chamber.

The increase in compression in the system “with the introduction of certain additives” does not occur due to viscosity additives, since they do not contain them in their composition, but for other reasons.

It is not advisable to reduce oil waste in an old engine and increase compression in the cylinders by using high-viscosity oils, since this will actually lead to an increase in compression in the cylinders, but not for long. Engine repairs will cost more in the future.

The cause of “acoustic” noise in an old engine is its wear and tear, so repairs and subsequent use of high-quality oil will be cheaper. You can reduce the gaps with additives, but the feasibility of this should be understood so as not to harm the engine.

We must make it a rule: use the appropriate engine high quality oil of the same brand and do not mix it with synthetic (or semi-synthetic) oil. The engine will thank you for this with trouble-free operation. Do not buy oil secondhand, as the packaging is easy to counterfeit.

Changing the oil and oil filter

Periodic replacement of oil and oil filter is the most important preventative procedure Maintenance. During operation, engine oil ages - it becomes liquid and contaminated, which leads to premature wear engine.

The oil change should be carried out immediately after a trip with the engine not yet cooled down, so that the oil drains better along with contaminants.

Raise the car on a lift or place it horizontally on an inspection ditch.

Remove the lower engine splash guard.
