Oil volume in MCPP Mitsubishi Lancer 10. The process of replacing oil with their own hands

Unlike most modern vehicles, where the ATF fluid is poured into the entire operational period, regular oil replaced in Mitsubishi automatic transmission is a mandatory measure. According to the regulations, the lubricant changes here every 90,000 km. Permanent monitoring of the level and state of the working fluid is also a necessary condition for ensuring the uninterrupted operation of the automatic transmission.

Causes of reducing the timing between planned oil changes in Mitsubishi automatic transmission

The need to replace the transmission lubricant in a box of the machine or Mitsubishi Lancer 10 variator is determined by the following features:

  • changing the color of the fluid (the red shade goes into dark brown);
  • the presence of an unpleasant smell of burned oil.

Depending on the operating conditions of the car, automakers are recommended to reduce oil replacement intervals in the MITSUBISHI Lancer 10 automatic transmission:

  1. The use of cars under different climatic conditions when heat is often replaced by cold temperatures.
  2. Overcoming roads with heavy soil (snow, dirt, sand, ice, etc.).
  3. Frequent slip.
  4. Getting started with a sharp start.
  5. Energetic driving.

The listed factors lead to the accelerated aging of the transmission lubricant. At the same time, the oil change in the Lancer box should be carried out every 40 - 60 thousand kilometers of the journey.

How to choose the right oil in the lancer automatic transmission 10

With a literate approach to the question of the replacement of lubricant, it is recommended to explore the instruction manual for the car where it is described in detail which oil in the automatic lancer 10 fuel is best. If this document is absent, good advisers are experienced specialists from service centers.

To replace oil in Mitsubishi Lancer 10, the following marks of transmission lubricants are recommended:

  • Nissan NS-2;

Nissan NS-2 enjoys the most popular among Mitsubishi Lancer 10 cars, thanks to excellent technical and operational characteristics.

Mitasu CVT is known as the most economical lubricant for lancer gearboxes 10.

ENEOS CVT - in contrast to the previous position, this brand has a relatively high price.

Methods of oil replacement in automatic transmission Mitsubishi Lancer 10

There is an erroneous view that it is better not to interfere in a serviceable automatic and not even change the oil. Depending on the age of the machine and the characteristics of its operation, various techniques of maintenance and replacement of lubricant are used:

  1. The first option is the easiest, lies in two actions: merge / pour. At the same time, the drain plug is unscrewed, the waste fluid is removed and the fresh portion of the material is refilled instead.
  2. In the second case, disassembly of the pallet and the replacement of the oil filter is added to the usual action.
  3. The flow replacement method requires a large amount of lubricating fluid.
  4. The use of special equipment for replacing the transmission lubrication under pressure.
  5. Replacing the oil with simultaneous complete disassembly of automatic transmission.

The more kilometers passed and the older Mitsubishi, the more responsible need to be related to the maintenance of the machine.

Replacing oil in a variator Mitsubishi Lancer 10

By analogy with a classic machine, the Diaqueen CVT transmission oil is poured into the variator of the Lancer CVT and possible options for its replacement described above. The process of replacing the lubricant in the variator is almost no different from Mitsubishi automatic transmission.

Judging by the reviews of the owners of machines equipped with a variator Lancer 10, excellent results gives the use of transmission oil "8 Quart Auto Trans CVT Fluid ATF Type-n Fornissan Mitsubishi Suzuki". In the people, he is called "Mitsso Varik Jatco". The main requirement for this brand is the presence of admission J4.

Replacing the lubricant in the variator Lancer is not a complex process. It is similar to replacing the transmission fluid in the automatic box. A car enthusiast can be performed this procedure even without proper experience. At the same time you need to call a partner to help start the motor in the process of changing the oil in the variator.

Japanese automakers are distinguished by original approaches to creating their own products. This feature is easy to feel when the usual replacement of transmission oil in the automatic transmission or variator is performed. Therefore, the procedure for changing the liquid into the Mitsubishi Lancer 10 is replete with a number of characteristic properties and nuances.

Constructive features

Cars of the 10th generation from the Japanese manufacturer are equipped with 3 species gearboxes:

  • Automatic transmission;
  • variable speed drive;
  • MCPP.
Installation of a particular transmission is directly related to the specific modification of the motor.

To date, the market offers new Mitsubishi Lancer 10 with two options for configuration of the engine and box:

  • Motor of 1.6 L is combined with a 5-speed MCPP or a 4-range automatic transmission;
  • The motor of 1.8 liters is offered in the bundle of the same manual transmission or variator.

From the earlier modifications of the 10th series, tandems are available 1.5 and 2.0-liter engines with MCPP or automatic transmission.

For many reviews, the automatic machine is characterized by slow response to the movement of the gas pedal. Mitsubishi Lancer 10 with automatic transmission medal in acceleration, deprives the driver of an energetic ride style. After several days of car downtime, the lever will not always switch to the "Drive" position.

The variator (stepless transmission) does not tolerate overload. And its repair is much more expensive than automatic transmission. Equip the variator and the automatic box from problematic behavior helps the timely oil change.

When the transmission substance is needed

Lancer 10, with automatic transmission or variator, according to the technical regulations, requires the change of transmission substance every 90,000 km. But about constant control over the oil level in the box should not forget. Its replacement may be needed earlier.

Depending on the operational situations and the manufacturer, the intervals to update the transmission fluid are significantly reduced. Oil change is made more often in cases where the car is used in specific circumstances:


The use of Mitsubishi Lancer 10 in such conditions leads to the fact that the replacement of the transmission substance is carried out every 40,000-60,000 km of mileage.

How to replace yourself

Replacing the transmission substance in the machine or variator can be made with their own hands. The implementation of the procedure is completely in force even a considerable car enthusiast.

What you need to prepare

Prior to the start of work on changing the transmission fluid, it is necessary to prepare:

The car is preferably "driving" to warm the transmission oil. It will become more fluid and it will be easier to remove from the box.

Priority action

Replacing the oil produced by their own hands has a clearly defined sequence. Its compliance ensures the desired result. Therefore, they recommend such step-by-step actions.

  1. Ensure access to the pallet by raising the machine or its installation on the observation pit or the overpass.
  2. Shake plastic protection from the driver's side.
  3. Unscrew the drain plug.
  4. Collect a lubricant in a pre-prepared container.
  5. Measure the volume of fluid flowing.
  6. Remove the cartridge cartridge pallet.
  7. Rinse with fresh oil filter located in the pallet lid.
  8. Clean the magnets located on the pallet lid.
  9. Proprify back the pallet cover with a screw drain plug.
  10. Remove the left front wheel and liner to provide access to the radiator.
  11. Remove the radiator, pour out liquid from it, rinse well. Then fill the unit with fresh oil using a syringe. This will prevent the creation of air traffic jams. It is necessary to fill until the liquid starts to flow from another hose.
  12. Pour new oil in an amount proportional to the leaving, through a hole for the probe.
  13. Take the engine, tighten the handbrake, squeeze the brake pedal, and then with small decelerations when switching to go through all the working ranges.
  14. Load the engine, merge through.
  15. Remove the heat exchanger, change the paper filter in it together with the gland, sealing ring. Install the unit back.
  16. Pour a new lubricant. Once again, when the engine is joined in different modes box.
  17. Merge through. If its color is bright, like a new lubricant, you can go to the final stage.
  18. Perform the final and complete fill of the transmission fluid.
  19. Control the level of transmission oil after a long trip.
  20. If necessary, add the desired amount of oil.

After the final topping, we can assume that the transmission substance is replaced successfully. Mitsubishi Lancer 10 is ready to operate again. In practice, several ways to replace "red liquid" are applied. Very complex procedures are conducted using vacuum installation. The proposed option is somewhat compromise and allows you to successfully perform an operation to replace the oil in the automatic transmission yourself.

Cost of work on the replacement of transmission oil transmission on Mitsubishi Lancer 10


The main enemy is rare oil replacement in such units as manual transmission Mitsubishi Lancer 10 Wear products contained in oil. Simply put - chips. It reduces the lubricating oil properties and can damage the details of the gearbox itself. But to replace oil in a manual transmission on Mitsubishi Lancer 10 is necessary every 100 thousand km. Run. In a manual box on the 10th Lancer, it is necessary to fill a transmission oil with a viscosity index. 75W90. original product Mitsubishi Diaqueen SSTF-1. From the analogs, our shopping center offers the product of the Japanese concern ENEOS, transmission oil ENEOS Gear Lubrican (GR-5). The required amount of oil per replacement is about 2l. This transmission oil is suitable for all mechanical boxes and distributors of Mitsubishi except Lancer Evolution, which poured a special transmission fluid.


Replacing oil in MCPP Mitsubishi Lancer x Easy to disgrace.
It is necessary to remove the engine protection.

Unscrew the drain plug and drain the oil. Wipe the plug - it has a magnet for collecting metal smallest dust or chips. Also, a very important point, it is to replace the copper ring on the traffic jam. Because The old ring is already compressed and to tighten the tube, it is necessary to make an effort more than it is, and it threatens a breakdown of the thread. and what happens when the thread is broken on the drain-bay traffic jams you can read

A number of harsh requirements are made to the oil that is fill in the mechanical transmission. It should reliably lubricate the rubbing surfaces, to maintain its properties as much as possible, to depend on temperature and reduce wear, vibration and noise in mechanical transmission.

From how correctly the oil in the manual transmission is depends on the resource of both transmissions and the reliability of the car as a whole. The poor-quality grease in the gearbox creates an additional load on the engine, which in turn leads to a decrease in dynamic characteristics, increasing the fuel consumption and reduce the time interval before the need for overhaul.

Oil selection in mechanical gearbox Lancer 10

  • F5MGA with 1.5 liters engines;
  • F5MBB with power units 1.8 and 2.0 liters.

GL shows the number of additives in transmission, which improve its characteristics. The most popular today is GL4 and GL5. In GL5 there is a lot of detergent additives capable of influencing non-ferrous metals. In MCPP Mitsubishi Lancer 10 Synchronizers are manufactured with copper use. Therefore, the GL5 should be used with caution, so that it would not cause the oxidative destruction of the metal. The most optimal is the acquisition of the oil of the GL4 standard.

The list of the most suitable oils and their basic characteristics is listed in the table below.

The more thick oil, the thicker forms a film on rubbing surfaces. This leads to a decrease in wear and influence of shock loads, but reduces the transmission efficiency. In this regard, in the warm regions, instead of 75W-80, it is recommended to use Viscosity class oil75W90.

Check the amount of oil in the manual transmission

The oil in the manual transmission is usually not consumed and from the moment of fill to the shift remains in the same amount. However, the presence of inclusions or problems with the gearbox may cause the need to control the oil level.

In order to check the amount of oil in the box you need:

  1. Put a car on a flat surface. Otherwise, the control results can vary greatly.
  2. Unscrew the bulk tube.
  3. The oil level should reach the lower edge of the oil-filling hole.

The base hole tube has a rubber seal. In the case of its hardening and loss of integrity, it must be replaced with a new one.

Periodicity of oil replacement

According to the reviews of the car owners, the oil fill in the mechanic box may be required more often of this frequency.

This is connected with the style of driving and quality of oil. Many drivers note the difficulty in managing gear lever when using Mitsubishi corporate oil. In the event of suspicion of deterioration of the lubricating properties of a transmission fluid, it is necessary to replace without waiting for the period specified by the manufacturer.

Oil replacement process with their own hands

Oil change is performed according to the sequence below:

  1. It is necessary to start the oil with a drying box. The procedure for draining the old liquid is recommended to be made in a fifteen-minute interval after the trip.
  2. Remove protection.
  3. Find a bulk tube.
  4. Unscrew the bulk tube.
  5. Remove the plug and control the state of the seal.
  6. Start unscrewing drain plug.
  7. After removing the drain plug, the oil drops will begin.
  8. Wait until all the lubricant follows. Its color can be from light brown to black.
  9. Split drain plug. If necessary, replace the sealing copper ring.
  10. Through the bulk hole with a syringe to pour fresh oil through the syringe. It is necessary to fill to the lower edge level. An estimated filling volume for the F5MGA gearbox is 1.9 liters and for MCPP F5MBB - 2.5 liters.
  11. Split a plug into place.


In the case of poor tightness, it is forbidden to delay tubes too much. Otherwise, damage to the thread or the appearance of oil flows may occur.

The "Japanese" Lancer requires knowledge of some assembly specificity, so that the independent oil change in the Lancer box has not caused for a more laborious and expensive repair. Although the box on Lancer is made reliable and unpretentious, it is better to follow a clear guidance to the step-by-step replacement, you are dealing with the ninth or tenth model.

How the oil replacement is carried out in the box Mitsubishi Lancer:

  1. Unscrew the protection from the motor to get to the radiator. From it will be published from the automatic transmission.
  2. Passatages, relieve the clamp, attaching the hose to lower it in the canister for the drain of the old oil. It is better to find a partner here not to spray the floor and car details. At this time, when one holds the hose, the second repairman must start the car to go lubricant. Drain will pass very quickly - about a minute, during this time about two liters should go.
  3. A total of exhaust oil should be a little more than two liters. Then wipe dry drain plug and screw her and hose in place.
  4. Pour oil. Better, if at hand there will be handy tools - hose, watering can. Lubricants should be equal to the amount of fusion volume so that the lack did not feel.
  5. Get the engine so that the oil is separated. Make short runs for 5 seconds.
  6. Check the oil level dipstick. The level should be between the upper and lower label, in this case, the oil is sufficient.

Even if the level showed the norm, drive the engine across all transmissions and measure the oil level again. If he is at the minimum label, it is better to add some more. The final measurement should be done by passing 5-7 kilometers.

The oil change in the Lancer 9 box takes approximately 30 minutes of time and requires the following materials:

  • Keys at 17 and 24
  • Passatii
  • Capacity for the drain of old oil
  • Yama (or Estakada)

With proper works, the transfer will be noticeably softer on the car, if there was a problem with revolutions, it should eliminate. The main reason why this work is not carried out manually, not in the complexity of the process, but in the fact that it is rather "dirty" and brand, especially if there is no good overpass or pit.

What is better to choose oil?

When running more than 100,000 km, it should be checked to check the purity and quality of lubricant in the box, and if necessary, the oil can be replaced in the Lancer box 10. Either after seven years of operation of the car, if by that time the mileage will be lower than this. But what lubricant to take, so that the machine runs spores, and the friction was at least?

It all depends on the type of box, on the lancers it is 1.5 liters and with power units per 1.8-2 liters. In the specification from the manufacturer, the oil for the transmission API GL3 SAE 75W-80. Here are only GL3 standards are quite difficult to find in our stores. The GL abbreviation is responsible for the number of additives in lubricant, which affect quality. In GL4 and GL5 oils, more additives, including detergents, but this means their aggressive attitude towards non-ferrous metals. In the tenth model of Lancer with a manual box, synchronizers with copper are installed, GL5 can oxidize copper, because in no case should it use this oil. An affordable option is the oils according to the GL4 standard.

Car service recommend choosing from several options, the most popular for the ninth model are considered: Castrol Syntrans VFE 75W80, Ravenol MTF-2 75W80, Shell Spirax S6 GXME 75W80, Red Line MTL 75W80, Motul MotylGear 75W80, Liqui Moly HG 75W80.

The manufacturer advises when it takes a replacement of oil into a box of Mitsubishi Lancer X, use the Diaqueen CVT (but this mineral lubricant, not for cold weather and a sharp climate change in winter and summer) or Nissan NS-2, Mitasu CVT and ENEOS CVT will perform its analogues. They are also great for Nissan automatic transmission.

Methods for replacing oil on lancers

Never listen to the tips that many manufacturers consider oil in the gearbox "eternal", and if it works well, then no replacement is needed. It is necessary, especially on old cars with mileage. In addition to the traditional method of plum-bay, there are some more options:

  • Drain with the replacement of the filter after unscrewing the pallet. It is recommended that after 7 years of use.
  • Flowing replacement, a large oil volume will be required.
  • Replacing special equipment, oils through a transmission is driven under pressure - characterized by the greatest quality of cleaning the box from the old dirty lubricant.
  • Replace with full parsing box.

The price of such a job on Japanese cars in the car service starts from 1000 rubles. However, you can safely save if you find the desired brand of oil in stores and dealers who promise free replacement in the automatic transmission can be somewhat saved. Oil in such places is sold not much more expensive, the dealer benefits, ordering consumables on reduced rates from the manufacturer.
