Regulatory work on changing the oil in the Mitsubishi Lancer X variator can be executed in several versions: Standard or Maximum. In both cases, it is mandatory reset the parameter "Oil decomposition rate" special diagnostic device Mitsubishi... It is also necessary to perform procedures (at least once) for replacing the coarse filter(or rinsing it) and car wash radiator CVT CVT Mitsubishi Lancer 10... It is worth remembering that a clean radiator for cooling the variator indirectly affects its "health", and also prolongs the life and oil of the box, because it becomes less susceptible to overheating, which is detrimental to both the oil and the variator itself. Regular flushing of the radiator can also save it from corrosion that cannot be stopped once it starts. It is only the replacement of the radiator with a new one that saves. The coarse filter must at least be flushed. In cases of damage to the filter mesh in its depths - only replacement. The variator is like a single organism, in which every detail is responsible for its own business, and all this works in a complex, therefore, saving on trifles can cost many years of flawless operation of the CVT CVT Mitsubishi Lancer 10. In this article we will tell you about the most complete routine work: replacement of all filters (fine and coarse cleaning) and washing the codon and the variator cooling radiator.
After removing the engine protection, you must remove all clips holding the plastic strip under the front bumper.
We unscrew the drain plug and drain the variator oil. Then we unscrew all the bolts of the pallet in a circle. 
We unscrew and remove the coarse filter. 
In the left wheel well front wheel there is a cooling radiator. We take it off.
To do this, loosen two clamps and pull off two hoses from the fittings and unscrew three bolts. 
If the mesh in the coarse filter is not damaged, rinsing and cleaning of the filter is allowed. If not, just replace the filter. It is imperative to rinse the two magnets on the pallet, as well as wash the pallet itself from the inside. 
Discontinued cooling radiator CVT Mitsubishi Lancer 10... You can see it clogged with dirt. When washing, you should be careful - the radiator honeycomb is easily deformed. Do not overdo it with water pressure. 
After washing, it is clear that most of them have not been washed. This means that the radiator will not fully cope with its task. Ideally, it needs to be replaced. 
New filters and pallet gasket. 
To replace the fine filter, it is necessary to provide access under the front left wheel fender liner. For this, the wheel arch liner must be removed. 
After that, we disconnect all hoses from the heat exchanger and after removing it we produce replacement of the fine filter MMC Lancer 10.
After all this, we assemble in the reverse order, pour oil into the variator and start the engine. We translate the box selector to each position and hold it for 5 seconds. After 3-4 minutes of such procedures, we turn off the engine and check the oil level in the CVT. Top up if necessary. After that, we reset the parameter of the degree of oil decomposition. Without this procedure, the variator will not understand that the oil was changed in it at all.
Change 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 what kind of oil for the Mitsubishi Lancer 10 variator to choose is a very interesting question.
What to pour into the Mitsubishi Lancer 10 variator
There are several ways to choose a brand of composition.
- Look at the manual where it says DIAQUEEN CVTF— J1.
- Trust the official service, where the original or analogue will be filled in for sure.
- Select according to the permitted characteristics. Of the analogs, one can single out NISSANNS-2 , and the composition is popular for its qualities: it does not burn at high temperatures, does not crystallize from the cold.
Regarding the choice between these two types of grease, it should be noted that the standard CVTF-J1 is completely mineral, which is not suitable for cold weather 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 an expensive and upscale choice can be imagined ENEOS CVT. It is designed for use in variators at high temperatures, and the manufacturer himself speaks of improving the operation of the unit, reducing the noise of the transmission by 5%, as well as 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.
It is difficult to select the best composition for the Mitsubishi Lancer 10, since it all depends on the region of use and the load on the unit. It is recommended to take a closer look at commonly used oils, choosing the one that is suitable for the characteristics.
- Nissan NS-2. Oddly enough, but this particular composition is preferred by most Lancer drivers. It has a fairly high viscosity and performs well in the most extreme conditions. Nissan NS-2 does not freeze at low temperatures, does not burn at high temperatures.
- DiaQueen CVT. Of course, many people fill their " iron horses»Standard liquid and you can hardly say that this decision is wrong. But in cold winter inconveniences will be felt that interfere with a comfortable ride.
- Mitasu CVT. This is another Japanese grease that was originally developed for the Lancer. Has properties similar to DiaQueen CVT, but is much cheaper.
- Eneos CVT is one of the most expensive oils for cars in this line.
Replacement terms
Replacing the working fluid in the automatic transmission Mitsubishi Lancer 10 In the variator, it is better to change the composition every 70-90 thousand km of run... With timely replacement, you will not have to frequently change filters, and the system will not become clogged with accumulated debris. The operation of the unit will remain smooth and it will not make any unpleasant sounds if the filters are replaced 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 in the new composition, and if with a filter, then it is very good to use the service, where synthetics will be allowed into the system under pressure.
Change CVT oil
On Mitsubishi Lancer 10, changing the variator working fluid is not difficult. No special hardware is required. It is enough to have a garage and a pit, a capacity of 6 liters and a key 24.
- Step one is to unscrew the drain plug.
- Step two is to drain all the old liquid into a container.
- Step three - tighten the plug and put a new gasket (if you repeat the action, leave the replaced gasket).
- Step four - pump in new oil through the oil filler pipe.
The volume of liquid CVT Lancer 10 - 7.8 liters. However, do not rush to fill everything at once, because when heated, the lubricant expands. It is enough to fill in 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 intricacies in the replacement procedure, but it is important to keep track of so that no air tubes form. To do this, do not pour the liquid with a strong stream.
- Step five - immediately after replacing it is necessary to start the engine, let it run for idle about 1-2 minutes.
- Step six - switch the range selector in turn to each position, and then put it in N mode.
- Step seven - turn off the engine, repeat steps one through six.
- Step eight - drain some synthetics and check for cleanliness - if everything is fine, then the car is ready for use, if not, repeat steps 1 to 6 until the fluid is cleaned.
The service procedure has the advantage that the supply of lubricant under pressure avoids air congestion 100% with complete equipment serviceability. Plus, changing the oil in the gearbox cooling radiator is also mandatory, and this can only be done in the service.
- It is important to drain working fluid hot, because the fluidity of the composition in this case allows you to remove much more of the old grease.
- Change lubricant regularly.
- The composition is selected only from the brands recommended by the manufacturer, depending on the operating conditions of the car.
- Conduct replacement ATF you can do it yourself, but sometimes you need to contact the service for better uploading to the system.
- It is imperative to change the filters, especially if the appearance of the drained oil is not good. If it is cloudy with impurities, this indicates insufficient filtration.
Filters can be replaced based on the state of the oil being replaced: if it is not cloudy and not contaminated with impurities that should not be present, then the filters will cope and will be able to work out another similar period.
Replacement in automatic transmission
Oil change in automatic transmission Mitsubishi Lancer 10 A slightly more complicated procedure is ATF replacement. The point is, it is impossible to drain all the mining without resorting to removing the transmission. Fortunately, there is another, more cunning way. Working off contains a large number of unnecessary components - various rubbish and even metal shavings. All this makes the oil heavier.
So here's the way. The Lancer 10 transmission holds 7.7 liters of fluid, but we only pour 4.5. This is how it all looks:
- we drain about 4 liters of ATF and add a new composition to the box;
- after which we continue to drain the liquid;
- top up the remainder, we rejoice in a prompt and easy replacement.
The old lubricant will immediately begin to settle at the bottom of the crankcase and drain into the container that we prepared in advance. You need to drain the ATF until a clean composition comes out.
A plus self replacement oils in Mitsubishi Lancer - benefit and cognition, and minus - you cannot be sure of the absolute correctness of the actions performed, which in the worst case may affect the performance of the car.
Unlike mechanical box gear changes, the variator is more sensitive to the quality of the filled oil. This is due to a more complex design and higher requirements for lubricating properties. In the case of using low-grade oil or grease, the car owner will have to repair the transmission.
The variator has a low maintainability, therefore, quite often, in the event of its failure, replacement with a new or contract unit is required.
Therefore, in order for an expensive transmission to work as long as possible, it is important to monitor the quality and condition of the oil poured into the box.
The choice of oil for filling in the variator Lancer 10
The most optimal, according to reviews of mitsubishi lancer x car owners, is Nissan oil CVT Fluid NS-2. Its article is KLE52-00004. Price transmission fluid is from 2500 to 2800 rubles a four-liter canister. CVT oil made on a mineral basis. This introduces a limitation on operation in regions with cold climates.
The original transmission fluid from Mitsubishi is DiaQueen CVT oil. It also has a mineral base. The price for it is slightly higher than for the Nissan CVT Fluid NS-2 and ranges from 4000 to 7000 rubles for a four-liter canister. A liter of transmission fluid costs from 1100 to 1300 rubles, and 20 liters will cost from 12,000 to 14,000 rubles. According to reviews, both oils have similar properties, so it is impossible to feel any benefits from one or another lubricant while driving a car. 
The article numbers differ depending on the oil volume, as shown in the table below.
There are also other brands of oils suitable for filling the Lancer 10 transmission with 1.8 and 2.0 liter engines. These include Mitasu CVT, ELF Elfmatic CVT, Eneos CVT, Idemitsu CVTF Extreme, Yokki CVT, Motul CVTF MULTI, NGN CVT Fluid, Aisin CVT Fluid Excellent CFEX, Totachi atf cvt multi-type. There is no consensus on the quality of these oils, so the number of car owners using the listed brands is extremely small.
Required amount of oil in the variator
The volume of the oil to be poured in is 6 liters. CVTs are the same for 1.8 and 2.0 liter engines.
To check the oil level, follow the instructions below:
- Warm up the variator. To do this, it is enough to drive 10-12 kilometers.
- Find a level area.
- Move the selector to the "P" position.
- Remove the dipstick. The oil must be at the "HOT" level.
Missing oil level is not as critical as overflow.
With too much transmission fluid, there is insufficient lubrication of the rubbing surfaces, overheating and a quick failure of the entire unit.
Preparing for an oil change
Before changing the transmission fluid with your own hands, you need to check if there are all the components that will be needed for this operation. The absence of something can stall the process at the most unfavorable moment, for example, when the variator crankcase is removed. List of required spare parts:
Also in the process you will need a measuring bucket, a plastic bottle, a carburetor cleaner and rags. It is advisable to invite a partner to facilitate the oil change process.
The process of changing the oil in the variator with your own hands
In order for the transmission fluid change to be successful, it is recommended to adhere to the following sequence:
- Get access to the bottom of the car. To do this, you need to drive into the inspection pit, overpass, or lift the car using a lift.
- Unscrew the crankcase cover.
- Unscrew the drain plug with a 19 key.
- Drain the old transmission oil... The drained volume will be a guideline for filling in fresh lubricant. The process takes about 10 minutes.
- Unscrew the oil pan.
- Dismantle the oil pan.
- Unscrew the filter.
- Clean and blow out the filter.
- Remove the O-ring.
- Clean the pallet and magnets.
- Screw the filter back on.
- Remove the remnants of the old gasket.
- Put the pallet in place. In this case, it is necessary to use a new gasket.
- Screw on the drain plug.
- Dismantle the radiator. It is convenient to perform this operation by removing the left wheel.
- Replace filter.
- Fill in oil. Approximately 6 liters.
- After a short trip it is necessary to check the transmission fluid level.
- Reset sink rate performance characteristics oil using a diagnostic scanner or a dedicated application.

When is the replacement carried out?
By technical regulations the manufacturer's period of use of oil in Mitsubishi Lancer has no restrictions. However, experts and many car owners recommend replacing every 80-90 thousand kilometers.
The replacement frequency is associated with Russian operating conditions, which are considered difficult for most vehicles. Taking into account this aspect, for many car owners, the question of the signs of the need for replacement becomes relevant.
Experts do not identify certain factors that indicate the need to change the lubricant in the variator. Pay attention only to wear of parts and components, as well as obvious leakage. The presence of faults and breakdowns is usually accompanied by a replacement lubricating fluid.
What exactly to fill?
The choice of oil for the Mitsubishi Lancer variator is a key stage in the preparation. Experts identify the following possible options in it:
- DiaQueen CVT - recommended by the manufacturer specifically for Mitsubishi Lancer 9 and 10;
- Nissan CVT Fluid NS-2 is a more affordable analogue recommended by many specialists and car owners;
- Mitasu CVT and Eneos CVT are economical options for changing the oil in the variator.
Experts emphasize that regardless of the brand, products should be purchased only from official suppliers and dealers. Trying to save money can lead to more serious breakdowns and expensive car repairs.
Operating procedure
To change the oil in the Mitsubishi Lancer 10 variator with your own hands, prepare the following equipment:
- a set of keys, including those with socket heads;
- rubber gloves, a clean, lint-free rag;
- container for draining used oil from the system, the approximate volume is up to 6 liters;
- the volume of oil for flushing and full replacement up to 10-15 liters;
- new gasket for the pallet, article - CVT 2705A015;
- oil filter 2824A006, new o-ring 2920A096.
Step-by-step instruction to change the lubricant in the variator implies next steps work:
- the car is warmed up by a trip of 10-15 km for better oil fluidity;
- the car is parked on level ground, if possible, use a repair pit or a lift;
- removing the retaining clips, remove the crankcase protection;
- substitute the container for draining, unscrew the drain plug;
- after draining, unscrew the pallet - it should be borne in mind that when removing it may pour out even up to half a liter of oil;
- the pallet is washed and cleaned with lint-free rags, and the two existing magnets are also treated;
- then unscrew the coarse filter, pay attention to the sealing gum - it may fall out;
- many car owners clean the filter, wash it with oil and return it to its place, however, if possible, it is better to replace it with a new one along with the ring;
- the pallet is mounted in place, the drain plug is tightened;
- then remove the wheel and wheel arch liner from the driver's side, dismantle the radiator;
- the remaining lubricating fluid is poured from it, cleaned and returned to its place, if necessary, changed to a new one;
- then new oil is poured into the system up to the HOT mark, the engine is warmed up;
- in the process of warming up, gears are switched to ensure circulation of the lubricating fluid;
- the engine is turned off, the used oil is drained according to the specified scheme, a new one is poured in and I repeat the procedure;
- for further work, the lubricant level should be at the HOT mark; if possible, after filling, make a short trip of 10-15 km and control the lubricant level.
When draining the oil and flushing the system, take into account the warm-up of the engine. The temperature of parts and assemblies, as well as the lubricant itself, is quite high. It is recommended to be careful and carry out all actions with gloves.
Also, during dismantling, they check the condition of the internal parts, especially the gaskets and seals. In order to avoid further breakdowns, all components are changed that can soon fail.
Changing the oil in the variator Mitsubishi Lancer 9
Experts do not single out the distinctive features of changing the oil in the Mitsubishi Lancer 9 variator. The similarities with the Lancer 10 allow the entire process to be carried out according to the instructions presented.
Certain differences have the SKUs of some components. If necessary, their serial numbers can be determined using the technical documentation of the car. The brand of oil to be filled in for replacement remains the same - DiaQueen CVT and Nissan NS-2 are recommended.
Consequences of untimely replacement
For many car owners, the question of the consequences of an untimely oil change in the Mitsubishi Lancer 10 and 9 variator is relevant. In this aspect, the manufacturer's recommendations on the indefinite period of the lubricant service are highlighted.
However, it should be understood that in Russian conditions, changing the grease in the variator becomes a necessary part Maintenance... Timely preventive maintenance ensures high-quality operation of the involved nodes. Prevents premature erasure of connections and extends transmission life.
Possible problems with untimely replacement are reduced to wear of components, oil leakage and subsequent car breakdowns. Replacing the lubricant allows not only to improve the operation of the variator and automatic transmission, but also to make a preventive inspection and change the system components.
