Replace the fluid in the Lancer variator

CVT is a continuously variable transmission of a car that requires periodic replacement of the working fluid. The manufacturer recommends changing the composition regularly, every 90 thousand kilometers. But which oil to choose for the Mitsubishi Lancer 10 variator is a very interesting question.

What to pour into the Mitsubishi Lancer 10 variator

To select a brand of composition, you can go in several ways.

1. Look at the manual where it says DIAQUEEN CVTF— J1.
2. Trust official service, where the original or analogue will definitely be filled.
3. Select according to permitted characteristics. Among the analogues we can distinguish NISSANNS-2 , and the composition is popular for its qualities: it does not burn when high temperatures, does not crystallize from cold.

Regarding the choice between these two types of lubricant, it should be noted that the standard CVTF-J1 is completely mineral, which is not suitable for cold temperatures below -10 degrees.

Synthetics for Mitsubishi Lancer 10

Also widely used Mitasu CVT– a copy of DIAQUEEN CVTF, but at a lower price. The characteristics are practically not inferior to the standard, so the composition can become a priority if the region allows you not to think about the cold.

How expensive and upscale a choice can you imagine? ENEOS CVT. It is designed for use in CVTs at high temperatures, and the manufacturer himself talks about improving the performance of the unit, reducing transmission noise by 5%, and extending the service life of the mechanisms. It is also completely synthetic, and most importantly - universal - the temperature range is from 208 to -45 degrees Celsius.

Select best composition for Mitsubishi Lancer 10 it is difficult, since it all depends on the region of use and the load on the unit. It is recommended to take a closer look at frequently used oils, choosing the one that suits its characteristics.

1. Nissan NS-2. Oddly enough, this is the composition that most Lancer drivers prefer. He has enough high viscosity and performs well in the most extreme conditions. Nissan NS-2 does not freeze when low temperature x, does not light at high.
2. DiaQueen CVT. Of course, many fill in their “ iron horses» standard liquid and it can hardly be said that this decision is wrong. But in cold winter you will experience inconveniences that interfere with a comfortable ride.
3. Mitasu CVT. This is another lubricant from Japanese manufacturers, which was originally developed for Lancer. It has similar properties to DiaQueen CVT, but is much cheaper.
4. Eneos CVT is one of the most expensive oils for cars of this line.

This is all you need to know before you start replacing. More detailed information you can only find out in service center Mitsubishi.

Replacement timing

Replacing the working fluid in the automatic transmission of Mitsubishi Lancer 10

In a CVT it is better to change the composition every 70-90 thousand km.. At timely replacement you won’t have to change filters often, and the system won’t become clogged with accumulated debris. The operation of the unit will remain smooth and there will be no unpleasant sounds it will not sound if you replace filters after one oil change, that is, every 180,000 km.

As for the replacement method, in the usual procedure it is enough to drain the old one and fill it with a new one, and if with a filter, then it’s a good idea to use a service where synthetics will be released into the system under pressure.

CVT oil change

On a Mitsubishi Lancer 10, replacing the variator fluid is not difficult. No special equipment is required. It is enough to have a garage and a pit, a 6-liter capacity and a 24 key.

• Step one is to unscrew the drain plug.
• Step two - pour all the old fluid.
• Step three is to tighten the plug and install a new gasket (when repeating the action, leave the replaced gasket).
• Step four - pump new oil through the oil filler pipe.

Fluid volume CVT Lancer 10 - 7.8 l. However, you should not rush to fill it all at once, since the lubricant expands when heated. It is enough to fill 7 liters. Then add the remaining amount after 1-2 days.

The oil consumption of the Mitsubishi Lancer 10 in the CVT gearbox is 0.166 liters per 1000 km. There are no tricks in the replacement procedure, but it is important to make sure that no air tubes are formed. To do this, do not pour the liquid in a strong stream.

• Step five - immediately after replacement, you need to start the engine and let it run at idle speed about 1-2 minutes.
• Step six - move the range selector to each position in turn, and then put it in mode N.
• Step seven - turn off the engine, repeat steps one through six.
• Step eight - drain some synthetics and check the cleanliness - if everything is fine, then the car is ready to go, if not, repeat steps 1 to 6 until the fluid is cleared.

The service replacement procedure has the advantage of providing lubricant under pressure to avoid air jams 100% if the equipment is in full working order. Plus, it is also necessary to change the oil in the gearbox cooling radiator, and this can only be done at a service center.

1. It's important to drain working fluid hot, because the fluidity of the composition in this case allows you to remove much more of the old lubricant.
2. Change lubricant regularly.
3. The composition is selected only from brands recommended by the manufacturer, depending on the operating conditions of the vehicle.
4. Conduct ATF replacement You can do it yourself, but sometimes you need to contact a service for better uploading into the system.
5. Be sure to change the filters, especially if the drained oil does not look good. If it is clouded with impurities, this indicates insufficient filtration.

Filters can be replaced based on the condition of the oil being replaced: if it is not cloudy or contaminated with impurities that should not be present, then the filters can cope and will be able to work for another similar period.

Replacement in automatic transmission

Changing the oil in the automatic transmission of Mitsubishi Lancer 10

A slightly more complicated procedure is replacing the ATF. The point is that it is impossible to drain all the waste without resorting to removing the transmission. Fortunately, there is another, more tricky way. Mining contains a large number of unnecessary components - various debris and even metal shavings. All this makes the oil heavier.

So this is the method. The Lancer 10 transmission holds 7.7 liters of fluid, but we only put in 4.5. Here's what it all looks like:

• drain about 4 liters of ATF and add new composition to the box;
• after which we continue to drain the liquid;
• We top up the rest and enjoy the quick and easy replacement.

The old lubricant will immediately begin to settle at the bottom of the crankcase and flow into the container that we have prepared in advance. You need to drain the ATF until it comes out clean.

Plus self-replacement oils in Mitsubishi Lancer - benefit and knowledge, but the downside is that you cannot be sure of the absolute correctness of the actions performed, which worst case scenario may affect the performance of the vehicle.

For the duration of operation of the power plant before the onset overhaul influenced by many factors. Among them, an important role is played by the quality of the oil used and compliance with the timing of its replacement.

Engine oil poured into the power unit performs a lot of functions. It prevents dry friction of metal surfaces, removes heat, reduces shock loads and vibration, and also has anti-corrosion and detergent additives. During operation, the lubricant is exposed to heat, as well as oxidation by combustible fuel. Therefore, there is a need to change the oil on time. Otherwise, it becomes unable to perform the functions assigned to it.

ATTENTION! A completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption has been found! Don't believe me? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also didn’t believe it until he tried it. And now he saves 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline!

Choosing the oil to be poured into the engine

Synthetics are preferred as a base for oil. It is also possible to use semi-synthetic lubricant. Mineral oil in mitsubishi engines It is not recommended to use due to the inability to fully perform the functions assigned to it.

The volume of oil to be filled depends on which power unit is installed. The table below shows the approximate refueling volumes of the Lancer x.

If the engine does not consume oil, then you should purchase a 4-liter canister. If the car is being chased by an oil burner, then it is better to buy 5 liters of lubricant.

The oil viscosity for Lancer 10 should be selected depending on climatic conditions and seasons. The engine is filled from the factory original oil SAE 0W20 and SAE 5W30. This oil recommended official dealers in the first 1-3 years of operation. The first is used mainly in 1.5 and 1.6 liter engines, and the second in 1.8 and 2.0 liter engines power plants. If it is necessary to change the lubricant, fill in a similar one.

Viscosity dependence motor lubricant on temperature environment

Referring to reviews from car owners and recommendations from car experts, the following list of recommended brands of oils with the required viscosity, depending on the year of production of the car, has been compiled. When buying oil, it is important to check that it is original and not a fake.

Required oil for Lancer X depending on the year of production

The cost of a liter of oil can vary from 350 to 800 rubles per liter. A four-liter canister can cost from 1,400 to 3,200 rubles. Best oil provides greater resource engine, which ultimately allows the car owner to avoid major repair costs longer.

Oil consumption in the power unit

The manufacturer indicates the same oil consumption rate for engines across the entire line. It is one liter of lubricant per thousand kilometers. These tolerances are too wide. In reality, only the 1.5-liter engine suffers from oil leaks. For other engines, the decrease in oil is practically not noticeable. The appearance of lubricant consumption is possible only if the motor is leaking.

As a result of coking piston rings or if the oil filler neck leaks, initially a consumption of up to 200 grams per 1000 kilometers may be observed. With a further increase in the oil level, it is recommended to repair the power plant.

Oil change interval

The manufacturer recommends replacement every 15 thousand kilometers. Such a long interval can only be maintained in the absence of difficult conditions operation. Dynamic driving, stuck in traffic jams and others additional loads on the engine lead to the need to reduce the replacement interval by half. Therefore, car owners recommend filling in new oil after a mileage of 7.5-10 thousand km. Replacement at an earlier date is not advisable for Lancer 10 used under normal conditions. For sports versions, the production of which has been established since 2008, with dynamic driving the oil change interval is 5-6 thousand km on the odometer.

An oil change may be required earlier if the engine has overheated. Additives may completely cease to perform their functions as a result of thermal destruction. Also, fill in new oil. ahead of schedule will have to if another hits it technical fluid. If a situation occurs where the lubrication level increases, then the cause of this must be eliminated before changing the oil.

DIY oil change process

Changing the oil yourself is not particularly difficult. To do this, it is recommended to follow the sequence below:

Mitsubishi Lancer 10 – stylish car with classic sporty design. Despite the outdated design, the model is still in demand. Since most owners' cars came out of warranty period, so now the question of the possibility is relevant self-service Mitsubishi Lancer. Fortunately, the car is considered quite reliable, as it is made of high-quality materials. And yet, time takes its toll, and it is necessary to at least replace Supplies. In this article we will look at one of the most important tasks Mitsubishi service Lancer - how to choose quality engine oil for this car.

The range of engines for the Mitsubishi Lancer is extensive and varied, so it is not surprising that there is a lot of discussion on the forums regarding the choice suitable liquid for one motor or another. So, Lancer 10 is equipped gasoline engines volumes of 1.5, 1.6, 1.8 and 2.0 liters.

Type of oil

There are many criteria for choosing motor oil. And yet, we can highlight the main ones. For example, there are three types of oil - synthetic, semi-synthetic and mineral. Each type has its own specifics, its own level of viscosity, tolerance, etc. This is a very important topic that affects the entire article. At the same time, no less important and relevant is the question of which oil manufacturer to trust the most. Naturally, one must also pay attention to the temperature parameters under which the liquid should be selected. By making sure that these parameters indicated on the product label correspond with the parameters in the Lancer X user manual, you can confidently choose oil.

First fill oil

This is one initial fact that you should pay attention to. The fact is that it is recommended to fill in the oil that was originally filled in from the factory. For example this mineral lubricant. This means that in the future you need to fill only synthetics - even if there is a question of choosing between mineral water and higher quality and more expensive synthetics. In any case, if available financial opportunities It is advisable to consider the original oil first - for example, Mitsubishi Genuine Oil API SM SAE 0W20. This lubricant recommended for use in engines that were originally filled with synthetic oil. Often this oil is perfect for engines of 1.5, 1.6 and 1.8 liters. As for two-liter engines, a semi-synthetic substance can be recommended for owners of such engines Mitsubishi Genuine Oil API SM SAE 5W30.

Viscosity selection

Viscosity is a key parameter for choosing oil, which directly depends on the environmental climatic conditions in which the Mitsubishi Lancer X is operated. Please note that post-Soviet countries are characterized by harsh winter climates, as well as very hot summer season. Based on this, for example, for subzero temperatures You should select oil with such a viscosity that it does not freeze in such conditions. To simplify the choice, oil manufacturers have compiled the so-called SAE classification:

• Viscosity parameters winter oils: SAE 0W, SAE 5W, SAE 10W, SAE 15W, SAE 20W
• Viscosity parameters summer oils: SAE 30, SAE 40, SAE 50
• Viscosity parameters of all-season oils: SAE 5W-40, SAE 5W-30, SAE 10W30, SAE 10W-40, SAE 15W-40, SAE 20W-50.

At the factory, the Mitsubishi Lancer X engine was filled with oil with appropriate viscosity parameters that are suitable for certain climatic regions. The most popular is considered to be a universal, that is, all-season liquid. It has a wider range of supported temperatures. But at the same time, another question arises - is it worth buying an all-season vehicle if, according to the operating instructions, the oil is in Mitsubishi engine Lancer X is designed for 7,500 kilometers, or six months. Based on this, many doubt the need to choose an all-season liquid, and therefore buy seasonal oil. There are many opinions on this matter.

The positive fact is that Lancer X has no viscosity restrictions. Therefore, you can use any viscosity parameter listed that is suitable for certain weather conditions.

Years of manufacture

As for seasonal liquid, its choice depends on the year of manufacture vehicle. Let us pay attention to the optimal viscosity parameters for summer and winter, depending on model range Lancer 10, and also highlight the best brands:

Model range 2008

• Summer season – 20W-40, 25W-40

• The best brands: Shell, Castrol, Mobile, Xado.

Concerning mineral oil, in Mitsubishi Lancer X engines this type of lubricant is very very rare. The manufacturer fills in synthetics or, in as a last resort– semi-synthetic.

Conclusion

Before buying oil, you need to collect information about the product you like, study its parameters and properties, and compare them with those specified in the instructions for Lancer X. It is worth noting that when high mileage over 100 thousand km more should be filled thick oil– mineral. This type of lubricant is only suitable for older cars. The fact is that synthetic lubricant is more fluid and better suited for low temperatures. Or vice versa, a thicker lubricant (mineral, semi-synthetic) is better suited for hot climates.

Oil change video

Changing the Mitsubishi Lancer 10 oil is one of the basic procedures for periodic vehicle maintenance. This means that you will have to deal with it regularly, but it is not that difficult to do. These photos show how to change the oil yourself on a 2015 Lancer X with a 1.6 engine in a sedan. Changing the Lancer 10 1.5 oil is similar.

When to change the oil- usually the oil is changed at 15,000 km, reducing to 10,000 km harsh conditions operation, which includes driving in a large city or in a very dusty area. However, the Lancer 10 repair manual recommends an oil change interval of 12,000 km or once every 6 months under normal conditions and 6,000 and 3 months in severe conditions. It is worth noting that frequent replacement oil can only harm your wallet.

How much oil to fill- about 4.3 liters new lubricant, you can more accurately determine by measuring the volume of oil drained and checking the level of the filled oil with a dipstick. You should stock up on two canisters - 4 and 1 liter.

What kind of oil to fill- the repair manual advises pouring into the engine all-season oil quality not lower than ACEA A3 and API SG, SAE viscosity 0W30, SAE 5W30, SAE 5W40. Popular Mitsubishi Motors Genuine Oil and Eneos Super Gasoline.

However, all these parameters are also quite individual - for the 1.5 engine it is recommended to fill in oil API quality- SN/CF and ILSAC - GF-5, and for the 1.6 engine - API - SM/CF, and ILSAC - GF-4. It is better to select based on the climatic conditions of the region.

DIY oil change for Mitsubishi Lancer 10

What you will need: wrenches for 13 and 17 (or a head with a ratchet), a puller oil filter, an empty container that can hold 4.5 liters of old oil, a clean rag, a funnel.

The oil is changed when the engine is warm so it drains better. If you unscrew the filler cap and lift the dipstick, the oil will flow out faster.

It is more convenient to change the oil on an overpass, ramp, lift or inspection hole. But it is also possible on a flat surface by blocking the wheels, jacking up the front part and installing supports. It is also better to immediately remove the protective panel of the pallet; it is secured with five 13mm wrench bolts.

You need to install a container under the oil pan to drain the oil, then loosen the plug with a 17mm wrench and unscrew it by hand. You must pull out the plug carefully - after all, the oil is hot and can burn. It is worth paying attention to the gasket of the drain plug; if it is deformed, then oil will leak - a new gasket is needed. When the oil stops flowing out, you can screw the plug back in.

If the new oil is of a different brand than the one previously filled, you need to flush the lubrication system!

After draining the old oil and without touching the old oil filter, you need to pour it into the engine flushing oil or new brand. Then start the engine and let it idle for 10 minutes. Then turn off the engine, drain the oil and start replacing the oil filter.

Replacing the oil filter may require the presence if the filter does not want to be unscrewed by hand. At the same time, a little oil will flow out of it, so you need to move the container. The rubber of the new oil filter must be lubricated fresh oil before reinstallation. The filter is tightened by hand; tighten it no more than three-quarters of a turn after the first resistance appears.

After making sure that both the filter and the drain plug are tightly tightened, you can add new oil. To do this, you should install a funnel in filler neck and pour in four and a little liters of oil. Filling the entire volume at once is not the best idea - it has negative consequences.

Therefore, if you fill in a little less volume than you need, you should screw on the cap and start the engine for a few minutes. While it is running, you can check the filter and drain plug for leaks. If there is, then you need to tighten it up. After turning off the engine and waiting a little while the oil drains into the pan, you need to check the oil level. It should be between the marks, closer to the top (MAX). The pallet protection is installed in the reverse order.

It's not always possible to buy original motor oils, so we have to look alternative lubricants. They must be no worse in terms of parameters original liquids so as not to harm the engine. Of course, the ideal option is lubricants that have approvals on the canister, but even these are not always possible to find. Implement correct selection Motor fluid can be classified by class, oil and its viscosity. This article describes the recommended engine oil for Mitsubishi Lancer.

Gasoline power units

1994 model

For engines 4G92, 4G93, 4G13 Mitsubishi Lancer, the car manufacturer recommends using SG class oils according to API system. The viscosity of the lubricant is determined according to scheme 1, taking into account the temperature of the region in which the car will be operated.

Scheme 1. Dependence of lubricant viscosity on ambient temperature.

According to Scheme 1, it is necessary to use the following lubricants:

• at temperatures below -30 0 C, fill in SAE 5w-20 motor oils;
• if the temperature is less than +10 0 C use SAE 5w-30;
• at temperatures below +20 0 C pour 5w-40, 5w-50;
• in temperature conditions from -30 0 C to +40 0 C, fill in 10w-30;
• if the thermometer reading is above -30 0 C, use 10w-40, 10w-50;
• if the temperature is above -15 0 C, use 15w-40, 15w-50;
• If the air temperature is more than -10 0 C, pour 20w-40, 20w-50.

The Mitsubishi Lancer operating instructions indicate the following volumes of engine oil required when replacing:

• 3.8 l for engines 4G92, 4G93;
• 3.3 l if engines are 4G

Diesel car engines

According to the Mitsubishi Lancer manufacturer's manual, for 4D68 engines it is recommended to use the oil type CD (or higher) according to the API system. It is necessary to select the viscosity of the motor oil according to scheme 2.

Scheme 2. Dependence of oil viscosity parameters on ambient temperature.

• SAE 30 if the temperature range is from 0 0 C to +40 0 C;
• 20w-40 when the thermometer reading is more than -10 0 C;

• 10w-30 at temperature conditions -20 0 C to +40 0 C;
• 5w-40 if the thermometer reading is less than +20 0 C;
• 5w-30, 5w-50 at a temperature less than +10 0 C.

The volume of engine oil required when changing for the 4D68 engine is 5.1 liters.

Mitsubishi Lancer 7(CK,CM) 1995-2000

1997 model

The recommended engine oil for Mitsubishi Lancer (4G92, 4G13 configurations) must meet oil class SG or higher in accordance with API standards. to select the viscosity of the lubricant, you must use diagram 3.

Scheme 3. Dependence of motor oil viscosity on the temperature outside the car.

Explanation of scheme 3:

• 20w-40, 20w-50 are poured when the thermometer reading is above -10;
• 15w-40, 15w-50 are poured if the temperature is more than -15 0 C;
• 10w-40, 10w-50 are poured at temperatures above -30 0 C;
• 10w-30 is used if the temperature range is from -30 0 C to +40 0 C;
• 5w-40 is poured if the temperature is below +20 0 C;
• 5w-30 is used at temperatures below +10 0 C.

The volume of motor fluid required when replacing is:

• 3.3 l for 4G13 car engines;
• 3.8 l if engines are 4G92;
• The oil filter will require 0.3 liters of lubricant.

Mitsubishi Lancer IX(CS) 2000-2007

2005 model

Based on the operating instructions, for Mitsubishi car Lancer must be used motor fluids corresponding parameters:

• motor oil type A1, A2 or A3 according to ACEA standards;

The choice of viscosity is carried out according to scheme 4.

Scheme 4. Influence of ambient temperature on the selection of viscosity parameters of the lubricant.

According to scheme 4, it is necessary to use the following motor lubricants:

• 0w-30, 5w-30 are poured at temperatures below +40 0 C;
• 0w-40, 5w-40 are used for temperature range from -35 0 C (and below) to +50 0 C (and above);
• 10w-30 is poured at temperature conditions of -25 0 C to +40 0 C;
• 10w-40 or 10w-50 is poured if the temperature is above -25 0 C;
• 15w-40, 15w-50 are used if the temperature is above -15 0 C;
• 20w-40, 20w-50 are used if the temperature is above -10 0 C.

Application lubricants with viscosity 0w-30, 0w-40, 5w-30, 5w-40 are allowed if they have the following characteristics:

• motor oil type A3 according to ACEA standards;
• grease class SG (or higher) according to API standard

Maximum engine oil consumption 1 l/1 thousand km. The volume of lubricant required during replacement is 4.0 liters, the volume of motor oil in the oil filter is 0.3 liters.

Mitsubishi Lancer X(CY) 2006-2016

2008 model

The manufacturer for Mitsubishi Lancer allows the use of lubricants that meet the requirements:

• oil class SG or higher according to API classification;
• the oil must be ILSAC certified;
• type of motor oil according to ACEA standard A1/B1, A3/B3 or A5/B5.

The selection of viscosity is carried out according to scheme 5 and depends on the air temperature outside the car. It is worth considering that the use of lubricants 0w-30, 5w-30 and 5w-40 is permissible if they comply with ACEA A3/B3, A3/B4 or A5/B5 and class SG according to the API system. Based on diagram 5, at temperatures above -25 0 C, for example, you need to fill in lubricants 10w-40 or 10w-50, and for the temperature range from -35 0 C (and below) to +50 0 C (and above) use oils 5w-40. The interpretation of the remaining dependences of viscosity on temperature is similar to Scheme 4.

Scheme 5. Dependence of viscosity parameters of motor oil on ambient temperature.

The volume of engine oil in the oil pan is 4.0 liters, the volume of lubricant in the oil filter is 0.2 liters for models with 1500 cm 3 engines and 0.3 liters in the case of models equipped with 2000 cm 3 engines.

Conclusion

The recommended engine oil for Mitsubishi Lancer contains all the necessary additives to protect the engine from wear and ensure high efficiency therefore, the use of any additives is unacceptable: they can react with the oil and harm the engine.

The temperature outside the car plays a big role when choosing a lubricant: low-flow lubricants are poured in the summer, very low-flow lubricants are poured in the winter. liquid oils. When choosing all-season motor oils, you should give preference to synthetic or semi-synthetic oils, since they have more wide range operating temperatures than mineral motor oils.
