1. Remove the drain plug on the bottom of the transaxle case to drain the transmission fluid.Draining amount: Approximately 3.5 dm3 (3.70 qt)
2. Install the drain plug with a new gasket to the transaxle case, and tighten it to the specified torque.Tightening torque: 34.3 N·m (25 ft-lb)
3. | caution | If the transaxle case becomes full before filling 3.5 dm3 (3.70 qt) of transmission fluid, stop filling the transmission fluid.
|
Fill in the new transmission fluid through the oil filler tube.
Filling amount: Approximately 3.5 dm3 (3.70 qt)
Transmission fluid: Mitsubishi Motors Genuine CVTF-J4
4. Start up the engine and let it idle for 1 to 2 minutes.
5. Move the selector lever to every position, and then move it to the P or N range.
6. Stop the engine and perform the above steps 1 to 5 again.
7. Stop the engine, and discharge a small amount of transmission fluid to check for fouling. If fouling is found, repeat steps 1 to 5 until clean transmission fluid comes out.
8.
9. Drive the vehicle until the transmission fluid is warmed up to the normal operating temperature 70 to 80°C (158 to 176°F), and check the transmission fluid level. It must be within the "HOT" area on the dipstick.| note | The "COLD" level is for reference only. Use the "HOT" level as the criteria. |
| note | Use scan tool to measure the transmission fluid temperature. |
| note | When a certain amount of time is required to warm up the transmission fluid to the normal operating temperature 70 to 80°C (158 to 176°F), check the oil level referring to the characteristics chart. |
10. Adjust the transmission fluid level to the specified level. Refill the transmission fluid when the fluid level is low, and drain the transmission fluid through the drain plug when the fluid level is high.
11. Securely insert the dipstick into the oil filler tube.
12. TCM records the deterioration level of the transmission fluid. After replacing the transmission fluid with new one, use scan tool to reset the deterioration level recorded in TCM (Refer to
