Don't ever delete this video. I'm going to need it after my warranty ends so I can service my car myself. 😂

Hey mate! Love your work! You have quite literally saved me thousands of dollars already since this video came out and suffice to say it really is appreciated. I would say that donations are on their way but I will unfortunately have to finish this uni degree first but dude your honestly a lifesaver!

This is a good video, finally someone with an In-depth video

brilliant, very informative, now i can do my 2016 Triton with confidence, i'm sick of getting ripped off by dealers, the last dealer charged me almost $600 for a normal service, no gearbox, diff, air, or fuel, filter changes, and was returned to me with guard scratches which pissed me off hugely. cheers.

Great work Mate concise and accurate instructions perfect for DIY and those like me who are not too familiar with diesels etc. Thanks a lot for taking the time and effort to make this high quality production

Hey Mate! Great work on the service. Just to add something. Whenever you are doing a oil service on any 4N Mitsubishi Diesel engine, you need to perform the oil dolution reset -> On The MUT dealer tool this function is in...Engine / Special function / initialisation / exchange engine oil service. On other tools it is something similar, depending on the make and model. Reason for this is that diesel gets injected to start and keep the DPF regenerating when it needs to. If it is sucessful, the fuel is burnt with no problems, but if the car is unable to complete its burn, or is trying to burn and there is another reason it cannot, then it will be added to the sump and the oils counter in the cars engine computer will increase. When the car is serviced, the tech must reset this oil counter. And he should know what to look for depending on the reading. or instance if it reads 1500cc, he should know to look for an issue. A car that is doing enough long journeys and has no problems will have a count of 0cc - 100cc. Anything up to 600cc is ok with no action needed.

So those with 4n engines looking to self service should buy a scan tool to reset aswell?

@@signature8543 In other words - yes. Resetting the oil dolution/exchange counters are part of the standard ""oil service/change" procedure in the official dealers (at least from my experience in Central Europe) If you are doing it yourself it is preferable to reset it with a scan tool which have the functionality to do it. It sounds somewhat stupid, but something little like that can prevent you from spending thousands later. If you are doing a lot of highway miles the counters will not rise as much as doing a city driving. So definetely you need to monitor the values every 5-6 months to know where you are with the oil dolution. This topic definately needs more visibilty because it is solving a lot of problems and in the end of the day it is simple reset.

For anyone reading the comments and wondering about which brand gear oil to use in their manual MQ/MR gearbox, definitely use Penrite Trans Gear 75w80! I’ve tried the genuine Mitsubishi DiaQueen oil, and Valvoline DuraGear and both are substandard in gearshift feel compared to Penrite.

great video how do you reset the service lights on the dash ?

My mechanic always put in 10 litres of oil, bout time I do my own service

What a great video! The rear leaf springs on my MQ Triton are pretty much flat with no real arch to them. Is that a problem or is it pretty normal? I do a fair bit of towing

Great video mate, I have seen various things online saying about needing to reset the "oil level counter" with a diagnostic tool, is this something you are aware of, or is it not something to worry about

I know how to do it on a D-MAX but not on my MR Triton.

@@driftcarsjp Cheers mate. What should I level? The chassis rails are angled down toward the front of the car and the gearbox is angled down toward the rear of the car when all 4 wheels are on the concrete. To get the gearbox level I would need to jack the rear of the car up a bit, but to get the chassis rails level I would need to jack the front as it's natural stance is a bit nose down. When I initially removed the fill plug prior to removing the drain, I had around 200ml of oil spurt out. I have refilled with new oil to the bottom of the oil filler hole and I appear to be about 200ml short of the recommended 2.2L oil volume. All of this is with the car sitting on the level concrete floor. Should I jack it and see if I can get some more oil in or is it OK as it is?

Hello. Got some question here. Last day on 13 January 2022 I've got my 60k km service at Service centre. Everything seems done correctly. Then I'd have a long drive on 14 January 2022 when I notice there's something weird about my engine sound when I press the throttle and like loss a bit of power. Then later on after 12 hour park, I'll check the engine oil dipstick level, it goes half between max level and the x mark. Then I'll check it again immediately after turned on the engine a while, dipstick level goes about 0.5mm over the max level. Will it cause any damage to my car engine? I already drive for about 200km before realize the overfilling oil engine from the service Centre. Thank you..

If an engine is excessively over full of oil it will reduce performance if its about 2-5mm above the max mark it should not cause any issues.

Hi There, you said the engine takes 8.4 litres of oil?, the manual states the 4n15 diesel engine holds a total of 7.4 litres of engine oil, 7 litres in pan + 0.3 in filter + 0.1 in oil cooler, every oil change I have ever done has always been 7.4 litres, I have a 2017 MQ Triton GLS auto 4x4 dual cab, also when I look at Penrite's Lube guide it states 8.4 litres as well, strange?
