Genuine CVT oil

CVT MOTUL oil

Our shopping center "SKR-AUTO" constantly has in stock two types of transmission fluid, CVT oils. You can choose to fill in both the original CVT oil in liter packaging, and the CVT oil from Motul. Motul transmission fluidTechnosynthese® is completely interchangeable and meets all technical parameters of CVT transmissions not only from Mitsubishi, but from other manufacturers. More information on the applicability of Motul Technosynthese® transmission fluid can be obtained from on the official site by Motul. If your car has a CVT error on the dashboard (overheating of the CVT), then do not rush to draw conclusions about the failure of the CVT. First of all, this error lights up due to the excess of the temperature regime of the working fluid in CVT. And then other problems with the unit may become the cause.

E If you notice on the instrument panel the signaling symbol "error CVT ", then stop immediately, but do not turn off the engine, let the engine run for a while and the liquid circulating through the cooling radiator The CVT will cool down after a while and the error will disappear.

Because of what this happens:

As practice shows, most often the owners of cars equipped with a CVT variator turn to a service station with a similar problem in the hot season and, as a rule, upon examination it turns out that The CVT cooling radiator is heavily soiled and it is necessary to carry out the operation: washing the CVT radiator for Mitsubishi Lancer 10. This is due to the fact that the radiator is very close to the front left wheel and all the dirt from under the wheel gets into the radiator. It is very important: it is necessary to flush the radiator only with its removal and wash out the dirt from the bumper towards the wheel, and not vice versa. If you try to wash the CVT radiator from the side of the wheel, then instead of flushing it, you can only clog it even more, and even damage the delicate honeycomb of the radiator and thereby greatly complicate the heat exchange of air in the radiator and will only help Replacing the CVT radiator, and its cost is more than 20 thousand rubles.

Also, due to a drop in the cooling efficiency, the wear of the unit's parts greatly increases, from which the fine filter of CVT oil begins to clog and the mesh of the coarse filter (aka the oil intake) is clogged with wear products of the parts. And it would seem that due to a trifling issue of a polluted CVT radiator, the unit as a whole is dying.

Changing the oil in the variator (CVT) an operation that appeared not so long ago in the everyday life of car maintenance and repair.

Progress in the automotive industry encompasses not only developments in engines, electronic equipment of the car, but also radically changes the idea of ​​\ u200b \ u200bthe principles of transferring rotation from the engine to the wheels of the car.

Not so long ago, no one could have imagined anything else but to pull the "stick" of the gearbox and "trample" the clutch pedal. Some 20 years ago, nowadays, an ordinary automatic transmission (automatic transmission) seemed like a curiosity that excites the imagination and the absence of one pedal was wildness. But progress did not stop there either, jerking gear changes are a thing of the past.

The variator principle of transferring rotation from the drive shaft to the driven shaft made it possible to completely abandon the principle of gear shifting. And only the tachometer needle, either jumping or falling, shows that something is switching somewhere.

Only timely and professional service of variators (CVT) will allow such a complex and important vehicle system to perform its functions without fail.

Replacing CVT Transmission Fluid the most important condition that must be fulfilled in a timely manner and flawlessly, on any vehicle equipped with a CVT.

Peugeot 4007, Citroen C-Crosser, Mitsubishi Outlander, Mitsubishi Delica D5, Mitsubishi Galant Fortis, Mitsubishi RVR, Mitsubishi Lancer 1.8 CY0 2007, Nissan X-Trail, Nissan Lafesta, Nissan Serena, Nissan Bluebird Sylphy, Nissan Dualis and many other models, on which CVT JATCO JF011E or JF010E gearboxes are installed in relation to the transmission, they only require one thing: to change the CVT transmission fluid on time and correctly

According to the regulations of the CVT manufacturer, the oil in the variator must be changed no later than 80-90 thousand kilometers of the vehicle's mileage, depending on the operating conditions.

For oil change in CVT box 6-7 liters of oil are needed, when replacing the transmission fluid, the box pan is removed and the coarse filter of the oil filter is cleaned.

Carrying out computer diagnostics of the CVT when changing the oil, checking the pressure readings before changing the fluid and after filling with a new one, very often the readings do not correspond to the standards specified by the manufacturers. The reason for this is the strong clogging of the CVT filters, of which there are two in this box.

One filter is located under the CVT sump and is considered a coarse filter, its task when taking oil from the sump is to filter through a microscopic mesh that fine metal suspension that is formed during the friction of the gearbox parts.

This is what the new CVT coarse filter looks like.

And this is what a CVT coarse filter looks like, which traveled 120 thousand kilometers

This photo shows how much the bandwidth of this mesh is greatly reduced. Of course, you can try to rinse this filter, but due to the fact that most of this mesh is located inside the hollow body of the CVT filter itself, it will not work to rinse it thoroughly, respectively, the efficiency of the washed filter is significantly underestimated. The cost of a new coarse filter 1200 rubles... A CVT filter replacement cost is 2000 rubles. And these are far from the costs that may be needed if you neglect the replacement of this filter.

But in addition to the coarse filter on the variator boxes installed on Mitsubishi, there is another

fine paper filter which is also installed inside the CVT housing. We recommend replacing this fine filter at the same time as changing the CVT oil. It is very convenient and guaranteed to determine the state this filter with the help of diagnostic equipment, which very accurately shows the pressure of the oil system and if the readings differ from those established by the manufacturer, then this is definitely a poor throughput of the fine filter.

Mitsubishi Outlander is one of the most popular Japanese-made SUVs. The model earned its popularity due to its good driving characteristics, ride comfort and reliability. Since 2012, the release of the third generation of Outlander has begun. Versions with engines of 2.0 and 2.4 liters are equipped with variators, and with a 3.0 liter engine - automatic transmission. CVTs are gaining more and more popularity and are installed on a large number of vehicles. They are much more reliable today than they were a few years ago.

But the reliability laid down by the designers is reduced to nothing if the variator is not serviced on time. Maintenance consists in a timely oil change. This procedure is required by all vehicle units in which it is contained. Lubrication is necessary to create a protective layer that reduces the effect of friction of parts during operation.

A way to find out why CHECK is on!

1 Outlander 3 - when to change the oil in the variator

Over time, the grease ages and loses its properties, therefore it must be replaced. According to the frequency established by Mitsubishi, the oil in the Outlander 3 variator should be changed every 90,000 km. CVT manufacturer JATCO recommends doing this every 30–45 thousand kilometers. But in fact, you need to consider the fact that the oil is adversely affected by extreme conditions, such as high temperatures. This happens when the variator is operating under heavy loads.

While the guarantee of an authorized dealer is valid, it is preferable to go through all MOT with him. The cost of services from officials is very high, so most car owners, after the expiration of the warranty period, try to be serviced at third-party service stations. And those who understand cars at a high level avoid cases of outside interference as much as possible. Many of Outlander's maintenance work can be done by hand. This work includes changing the oil in the variator.

Despite the fact that the principle of changing the lubricant in the variator and automatic transmission is similar for different cars, each model has its own differences.

First you need to decide on the moment of changing the oil. You can wait for the mileage indicated by the manufacturer, after which you should do this. But if there are other indications for a change, then you should not delay with this. Signs that a grease change is necessary include:

• opaque or even dark oil;
• the presence of impurities.

These signs are revealed during the usual control of the level and condition of the oil, which every car owner must do periodically on any car. To do this, you just need to pull out the dipstick, determine the liquid level and wipe it on a white napkin.

When changing the fluid in the variator has become inevitable, you need to stock up on everything you need for this. The main ingredient is oil. The manufacturer recommends using Mitsubishi Motors Genuine CVTF-J4 oil in the Outlander variator. The filling volume according to the operating instructions is 7.1 liters. As you know, Mitsubishi Corporation itself does not produce lubricants. The specified fluid for variators is produced for it by Idemitsu. If you buy oil from this particular manufacturer, then it is called Idemitsu CVTF. Which one to fill, the original or the analogue - you choose.

The volume that is required for partial replacement of the variator fluid is 4.5-5 liters, for a complete replacement - 15-18 liters.

IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW!

Every motorist should have such a universal device to diagnose his car. Now, without an autoscanner, it's just nowhere!

You can read, reset, analyze all sensors and configure the on-board computer of the car yourself using a special scanner ...

3 Preparing for Replacement - Materials Required

To replace the fluid, you will additionally need:

• heat exchanger oil filter and sealing ring to it;
• laying the drain plug of the pallet;
• CVT oil pan gasket;
• coarse strainer (in the pan) with an O-ring;
• container for draining liquid;
• dry rags;
• set of tools;
• carburetor cleaner or similar.

All part numbers must be determined from the catalog according to the wine code of your car. This is due to the fact that several variator models were installed on the Mitsubishi Outlander 3, depending on the drive of the machine (2WD or 4WD) and the engine size. Some of them were installed on the Mitsubishi Lancer.

This is the maximum list of everything that is needed to change the oil in the Mitsubishi Outlander 3 variator. What exactly is needed, the car owner decides for himself when he determines the list of works.

4 Execution of work

Before starting the process of changing the variator fluid, it is recommended to warm it up to operating temperature. To do this, you can take a short trip. All subsequent work is performed on the pit. Therefore, the car must be driven onto it and parked exactly in a horizontal position. The crankcase protection can now be removed to gain access to the variator.

Partial grease change

In order to drain the old oil, you need to unscrew the plug from the sump crankcase. About 6 liters of liquid should pour out. And almost 2 liters will remain in the pallet. Therefore, in order to get rid of the worn-out oil as much as possible, you need to remove the sump. It is fastened with 20 or 21 bolts, depending on the variator model. This should be done with caution, as even hot oil can pour out and leave burns on the skin.

Having removed the pallet, you can see the coarse filter. It is usually silver in color, screwed on with 3 bolts. By unscrewing them, you can remove the filter itself. There is a mesh inside it, dirt from which should be removed with a carburetor cleaner. Ideally, if you have already reached it, then it is better to change the consumable to a new one. The magnets on the filter should be cleaned of dirt and installed on a new filter element. When installing a fresh filter, the O-ring must be lubricated with variator fluid.

When the filter is in place, the tray can be mounted. The gasket is used only a new one, it is placed evenly so that the holes on it and on the pallet coincide. Any damage to the gasket is not allowed. If you decide to make a partial oil change, then immediately install a new drain plug gasket. If full, then use the old one for now.

The next step is to replace the filter in the heat exchanger (oil cooler). To do this, first you need to unscrew its cover and pull out the old filter element. Install a new filter, coat the O-ring with CVT oil and replace the oil cooler cover.

You can now start filling with fresh fluid. This is done through the filler pipe using a funnel. Sufficiency is determined by the dipstick. Feel free to fill in the volume of liquid that has been drained. If after that the oil does not reach the Cold mark, then add until this happens.

This completes the partial change of the variator oil. If it is decided to make a complete replacement, then you need to perform several more stages of work.

Complete replacement - additional steps

Start the engine and let it idle for 1–2 minutes. After this time, you need to operate the gear selector, passing all possible positions, and then set the handle to the "P" or "N" position. Stop the engine, drain the oil through the hole in the sump and refill with fresh oil as described above.

Start the engine again, let the units warm up and operate the selector. Then drain some oil through the pan to assess its condition. If it is still dirty, you will have to completely drain it again and replace it with a fresh one. This should be repeated until the liquid is clear.

When the oil is filled, you need to firmly install the dipstick and start the car. Now you can take a ride so that the variator and the fluid in it are warmed up. After stopping, pull out the dipstick again and check the oil level. It must be between labels on the Hot interval. If it is lower, then it is necessary to add liquid to the desired level.

It is very important that the fluid level in the variator is not more and not less than what is supposed to be. If it is less, then the pump, together with the lubricant, will begin to drive air through the system. Oxidation and overheating of the oil will occur. Shift delays, slippage of the variator belt, brake and clutch are also possible.

If the liquid is more than the required level, then it will begin to foam due to excessive pressure in the system. As a result, the same problems will appear as with a low oil level. In addition, the foam will enter the CVT crankcase vent and leak as a result.

After changing the oil in the variator, you can reset the fluid degradation counter in the CVT (oil degradation level) variator. It is also called “Oil aging counter” in another way. This procedure is optional and also requires special hardware and software.

Changing the oil in the variator is a necessary procedure. You can do it yourself, since no special skills are required. But before doing such work, you need to theoretically study all the points and evaluate your strengths.

Some mistakenly believe that the oil poured into the automatic transmission from the factory on the Mitsubishi Outlander 3 is designed for the entire life of the car and cannot be replaced. This is not the case, if you want to get rid of possible problems with the operation of the car, we advise you to check and change the oil in the automatic transmission (variator).

The last third generation of the famous Mitsubishi Outlander has been produced from 2012 to our time. The car is based on the Mitsubishi GS. Has a complete set of gasoline units 2.0, 2.4, 3.0. and a turbodiesel 2.2 liter engine. In 2015, he underwent a facelift, thanks to which the outer contours became more modern.

Service in the form of changing the Outlander 3 oil is no more difficult to perform than other Mitsubishi models. The principle remains the same for everyone. I poured the old working off, poured the new fresh one. Together with the oil, the cleaning filter and, if necessary, the O-ring are replaced.

Important! Oil change intervals are 10,000 km for diesel engines and 15,000 km for gasoline engines.

Filling volumes and oil selection

• 5W-30;
• 5W-40;
• 0W-40;

The amount of oil required depends on the configuration of the engine and its power:

• Diesel unit 2.3 (4N14) - will require 5.5 liters of oil;
• Gasoline 2.0 (BSY) - eats 4.3 liters;
• Another gasoline 2.4 (4B12 and 4G69) - ~ 4.6 liters.

The 5W-30 oil is versatile and can be filled into all outlander engines 3.

Choosing a manufacturer is not an easy matter, but the original Moitsubishi Oil is not a verdict, you can also choose other decent companies:

Motul 8100 X-max SAE 0w40,

Mobil 1 and others.

Together with the lubricating fluid, the cleaning filter must also be changed. You can find it by the article (number MZ690070).

The code number for the disposable drain plug seal ring is MD050317.

Every year there are more and more cars with CVT type gearboxes. CVT gearboxes are considered more economical and less durable than a conventional automatic transmission and have their own whims.
This article will describe how to properly care for it, namely, when and how to change the CVT oil on the Mitsubishi Outlander. Changing the oil on this gearbox (hereinafter CVT) is a long and rather laborious process, which means that it is advisable to change the oil at specialized car services.

It is necessary to change the oil in the CVT Outlander every 40 thousand km (for scheduled maintenance 40 and maintenance 80). What will happen if you do not do this? Extraneous sounds will be heard from the transmission, the box will vibrate strongly, poor gear changes, a drop in power. And in the future, all this can lead to its failure, and buying a new box will hit your wallet very hard. At the same time, buying a used CVT CVT on Outlander is buying a pig in a poke!

Before the replacement itself, the oil must be warmed up to a temperature of 70 degrees, having driven 10-15 km. After that, measure the oil level in the box, for this we take out the dipstick on which there are 2 Hot and Cold marks, the level should be closer to the Hot mark. At the same time, the liquid level must be taken very seriously, since its shortage or a large amount will negatively affect the operation of the box. Then we remove the crankcase protection and clean the crankcase itself from dirt and dust. The next task is to put a container for used oil under the drain neck, and unscrew the drain plug. We drain the oil from the Outlander variator to hot, so that it would come out to the maximum, and also take with it all the deposits that accumulated over 40 thousand km. In time it will take about 40 minutes. After the oil stops dripping, we measure the exact amount of the drained oil, approximately 5.8-6 liters will turn out, because the same amount will need to be poured.

The oil in the Outlander variator comes strictly with the Mitsubishi CVT J1 specification. From a standard automatic transmission (like 75w90 or SPIII) - cannot be used !!!
Let's start flushing. After draining the old oil from the Mitsubishi Outlander XL, we twist the drain plug with the washer back into place, and through the hole from where we get the dipstick, fill in exactly the same amount of oil as we drained, return the dipstick to its place and sit behind the wheel. We start the engine and wait for a couple of minutes, then smoothly without jerking we begin to turn on each gear in turn (parking-rear-neutral drive) with a delay of about 5-10 seconds, we repeat this procedure at least 5-6 times. This is necessary in order to mix the old oil with the new one.
We turn off the engine and repeat the procedure for draining the oil. Usually, exactly the same amount is drained as the first time (5.8-6 liters). After draining all the liquid, we proceed to dismantle the Outlander variator crankcase. We unscrew all the screws of the pallet, while you need to know that there is still oil in the pallet, so you need to be careful not to spill it on yourself. The remaining oil in the sump is drained into a container, in general, you should get 6.2-6.3 liters of oil. In most cases, there will be wear products in the pallet - metal shavings, we clean the pallet with special cleaning agents and let it dry. Now we remove the coarse filter of the Mitsubishi Outlander variator, we also rinse it and leave it to dry. In the meantime, we get rid of the old crankcase gasket. We also inspect all units for breakdowns, and this can only be done at car services that can provide the whole range of these works, because an inexperienced car owner may simply not notice the malfunction, which will lead to sad consequences. After that, we install the filter and crankcase with a gasket in their places, and do not forget to check that all parts after cleaning are in their places, for example, magnets. We tighten the drain plug with a gasket and fill in new fluid. Do not forget that you need to fill in exactly the amount that was drained the last time.
We start the car and check the operation of the Outlander box, then check the oil level and, if necessary, top up a little. We inspect the box for oil leaks, and put the crankcase protection in place.

Oil change in CVT Outlander variator this is a difficult job that performs Outlander-Service by appointment.
