God bless ya for posting! I was so confused as to why my Lancer transmission fluid was more clear than red, like other vehicle's transmissions. Now I know it's just normal 👍

Very cool video. Works the same on the 2013 outlander. I used a little more than 5 liters of J4 fluid to fill the cvt up again after cover off and filter change.

Hi, thak you for the video, it were very useful. I heard about the need of reseting the transmission fluid degradation counter. There is somehow doing it without a scanner tool or its not necessary when doing that oil changing procedure?

nice video Harith

Bro DO NOT turn the VEHICLE ON WHILE you are draining the transmission fluid UNLESS you want to burn out your transmission!!! Turn on the vehicle with the transmission bolt still installed in the transmission pan drive the vehicle around the block several times to warm up the fluid then shift through your gears holding for at least 3 seconds between each shift. TURN OFF THE VEHICLE then drain your fluid that way WITH THE VEHICLE TURNED OFF!!! Otherwise great and one of the most thorough videos on KZread to get your Transmission Service done for the 2008-2013 standard lancer and their submodels

Thank you!!

Thank you brother 🙏

You can also use Penrite cvt fluid low viscosity or Amsoil cvt fluid both of which meet Diaqueen CVT-F -J4. Ryco make both filters for the transmission. Half price compared to dealership.

I have the 2013 lancer 2L auto , once i got the transmission overheat message and gears started slipping. after the transmission cooled down i managed to drive back home. Now when i drive ,i feel there is a slight reluctance to shift gears . any similar issues any of you had? planning to do an oil change and valve body cleaning. Any other possibilities?

What is your current mileage now? You better change your oil filter too, if not your transmission fluid oil pressure will drop when oil filter is blocked with particles. Let your car sit for while after you drive, may be 1-2 hours, then your transmission fluid will set inside the pan. then you can proceed with the Transmission cooler and filter removal, make sure you keep your replacement parts handy(O-ring & filter). Once you remove the cooler you will loose only a bit of oil something like 20ml - 50ml, that's why you have to keep the car sit for while. You can fill up what you loose from the top. Cheers!

What gasket sealant did you use on the pan? And also do you have the torque specs for the pan and the filter underneath the cvt? Thank you

OEM gasket. It's only a few bucks from Mitsubishi. Otherwise use a sealant that is designed for interaction with extreme oils and heat.

I know Castrol make a cvt fluid that meet's Mitsubishis specs but it costs about $80.00 for 5 litres, is the Mitsubishi cvt oil much dearer.

Around 2:38, the engine hasn’t turned on, has it? The key turned one click to accessory. But I didn’t hear starter motor turn. If engine is off, what good is shifting gear between P thru D? Is there hydraulic pressure to actually make the shifting?

@@Zaneandhismayn I see what you mean. Yeah, it’s not worth it trying to get all fluid out of the box. For one thing, I don’t think that would work, when engine is not running. Secondly, even if it worked, now he’s got air into the gear box (if any fluid came out). Depending on the inner geometry, he might not be able to evacuate all the air when he refill the fluid back in. I’ve never looked at disassembled gear box, etc. so I don’t know if there is an air-trap that would require a specialized hose/line at factory initial fill to get rid of all air bubble. If can replace 90% of the trans fluid, I think that is good enough.

Looks like the old cvt fluid from earlier in the vid

Just got back from the Mitsubishi dealer here in Japan with a bit of information you all might find helpful. Although it's cheaper and pretty straight forward draining and filling the CVT fluid yourself, almost half of the fluid remains in the transmission when you do it that way. At my dealer(I'm guessing all Mitsubishi dealers) when they change the CVT fluid, they change all the fluid using a machine they have there which comes out to about 8 litres of dirty fluid pushed out. So although more expensive your CVT fluid will be completely changed, instead of a only a bit more than half if you do it yourself. Which makes me wonder if your CVT change interval suggested by Mitsubishi at 30,000km for severe use, will technically drop down to 15,000km if your only doing it yourself and leaving almost half the dirty fluid left inside. Personally, I choose the dealer for regular CVT fluid changes as I want completely clean fluid. But for changing the cooler and pan filters, I say do it yourself to save money.

Mitsubishi’s CVT actually use a torque converter, unlike some of the Nissan JATCO CVT which run without one. Torque converter. Friction/clutch plate. Therefore, the same notion from traditional automatic transmission also applies: You want to keep the fluid clean, but not too clean. Changing half of the quantity at a time is perfectly fine. And just keep doing this at the severe service frequency.
