OIL CHANGE
 
 
WHEN NOT REPLACING THE EV OIL COOLER
1. Remove the front wheel and tire (LH) (Refer to Suspension - Road Wheel Tire Assembly Removal and Installation).
2. Remove the engine room under cover front B and engine room side cover (Refer to Body Exterior, Doors, Roof & Vehicle Security - Exterior, Under Cover Removal and Installation).
3. Remove the drain plug and gasket to drain the oil.
noteWhen removing the drain plug, check that the oil filter behind it is not clogged or damaged. If necessary, clean or replace the oil filter.
4. Install the drain plug with a new gasket, then tighten them to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 65 ± 5 N·m (48 ± 3 ft-lb)
5. Remove the oil filler plug and gasket.
6. Remove the oil level plug and gasket.
7. Fill the oil until the oil level reaches the lower edge of the oil level plug.
Specified fluid: MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE CVTF-J4 or MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE CVTF-J4+
Quantity: 2.4 dm3 (2.5 quart)
8. Install the oil level plug and gasket removed in Step 6, then tighten them to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 41 ± 4 N·m (31 ± 2 ft-lb)
9. Add 1.0 L of oil from the oil filler plug hole.
10. Install the oil filler plug with a new gasket, then tighten them to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 41 ± 4 N·m (31 ± 2 ft-lb)
11. Set the EV mode to CHARGE (battery charge mode), then perform the racing with the generator speed maintained at nearly 7,500 rpm while checking the generator speed and generator oil temperature using M.U.T.-IIISE.
cautionDo not perform the racing with the accelerator pedal fully depressed. If you do so, the generator speed will be restricted due to high engine coolant temperature.
12. After the temperature of the generator oil reaches to 60 °C (140°F), maintain the racing for 5 minutes.
13. Remove the oil level plug and gasket, and drain the excess oil until the oil level decreases to the lower edge of the oil level plug.
14. Install the oil level plug with a new gasket, then tighten them to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 41 ± 4 N·m (31 ± 2 ft-lb)
15. Install the engine room under cover front B and engine room side cover (Refer to Body Exterior, Doors, Roof & Vehicle Security - Exterior, Under Cover Removal and Installation).
16. Install the front wheel and tire (LH) (Refer to Suspension - Road Wheel Tire Assembly Removal and Installation).
