Mitsubishi oil is a high quality product manufactured for Mitsubishi cars. What oil to fill in the Mitsubishi ASX engine Oil volume in the Mitsubishi ASX 1.6 engine

On the Russian market car oils there are products that Russian car owners have mixed opinions about. One of these is Mitsubishi engine oil, designed for use in cars from this Japanese manufacturer. And since we have quite a lot of adherents of this brand, the scammers began to make counterfeit products. Naturally, such a fake, in terms of its quality characteristics, cannot be compared with the original oils. This is the reason for the negative feedback.

Who makes the original lubricant

Mitsubishi does not produce engine oil for its cars, although its engineering and scientific personnel are actively involved in its development. The work is carried out jointly with specialists from Nippon Oil & Energy, a subsidiary of the largest Japanese corporation. It also includes the Mitsubishi Oil division created by Mitsubishi. Nippon specializes in the extraction of oil and the production of automotive lubricants based on it, has its own brand of motor oil, known all over the world - Eneos.

Japanese engines from major Japanese automakers, including Mitsubishi, have unique design features... Therefore, special oil formulations are produced for them - specifically for each car manufacturer. Honda, Toyota, Subaru are also on this list with their original oils. For them, these products, feed Nippon, are also produced by the Idemitsu Corporation.

Japanese power units are designed for low-viscosity oil liquids- 0W20, 5W20, 0W30, 5W30, 10W30, as well as 5W40. Their main high-temperature quality indicators correspond to viscosities of 20 and 30, with the exception of low-temperature (winter) viscosity. Here you can purchase grease both for the northern regions of the Russian Federation (0W), which can easily provide engine cranking up to -30 ° C, and for temperate latitudes (10W), up to a temperature limit of -20 ° C. A synthetic and semi-synthetic motor fluid is produced for consumers.

Mitsubishi oils production technology

Japanese refining giants produce base oil(MM or Lubricant) for automotive lubricants made from self-produced crude oil. Moreover, the raw materials cost them almost nothing. During primary processing, oil is separated into light and heavy fractions. Of the lungs, this is, for example, an accompanying gas - ethylene, gasoline. Heavier light fractions - kerosene, diesel fuel.

The heaviest components are gas oil and tar. A hundred years ago, these fractions were burned - until the time when mankind learned to make of them lubricants... Now tar and gas oil are being distilled and thoroughly cleaned using hydrotreating and deep catalytic hydrocracking technologies. The result is a colorless liquid, devoid of harmful impurities such as water, mineral salts, aromatic hydrocarbons, sulfur and phosphorus compounds, paraffins, and other components. Her quality characteristics are very close to the indicators of real 100% synthetics.

The base oil is fully compatible with any additives, neutral in relation to the materials of seals - oil seals, gaskets. Mixes well with mineral oils to form semi-synthetic products.

Engine oil for Mitsubishi belongs to HC or VHVI-synthetics. True, hydrocracking oils are not considered by all to be synthetic. Some companies even went to court on this issue. The manufacturers stubbornly refuse to recognize them. PAO-synthetic oils, considering semi-synthetic or even mineral. The most interesting thing is that this assessment is also fair. However, it concerns only the origin, but not the quality indicators of this base oil.

Main oil components

As can be seen from the diagrams, almost all lubricants for car engines consist of 3 main components:

1. The base is mineral, semi-synthetic or synthetic.
2. A viscosity modifier that increases the stability of viscosity properties in the operating temperature range.
3. A package of additives that improve the properties of the base lubricant.

The additive package has a multifaceted purpose:

In addition to the main ones, the developers of new oils are constantly introducing additional components. The content depends on how the engines of each manufacturer, including Mitsubishi, behave during testing.

Assortment of oils for cars Mitsubishi

The oil for Mitsubishi has a base base obtained by the hydrocracking method. But there are also Full Synthetic and semi-synthetic products. Recommended for use in models such as Pajero of all modifications, Outlander, Lancer, ASX, Grandis, Colt and others.

In this article, we will look at how to change the oil in a Mitsubishi ASH.

The process of changing the oil in the Mitsubishi ASX engine itself is not difficult and the replacement can be done both independently and in a car service.

Parameters for changing the oil Mitsubishi ASH.

The volume of oil in the Mitsubishi ASX engine is 4.2 liters. on an engine with a working volume of 1.6 liters, and 4.3 liters. on an engine with a working volume of 1.8 liters.

The volume of the Mitsubishi ASX oil filter is 0.3 liters.

There is also original oil Mitsubishi SAE 5W30 API SM ILSAC-GF-4

Spare parts for oil change Mitsubishi ASH.

Motor oil in an amount of 4.2 liters.

Oil filter MD360935 is similar to MZ690070, which has already been discontinued. The original is called LS287. On the new filter, there is a film that needs to be ripped off.

Changing the oil in the Mitsubishi ASH engine.

The car engine warms up for a relatively short time, we install it on a horizontally flat surface of an inspection pit or on a lift.

Remove the engine crankcase protection.

We unscrew the bolt of the oil drain hole of the engine sump.

When draining engine oil, be extremely careful to minimize skin contact with used oil.

From the sump, the remaining oil can be pumped out with a thin tube and syringe.

We twist the drain hole of the engine sump.

Remove the used engine oil filter.

For removal, it is better to use a puller. For example, here is a force 6316514

But tape, for example, or clamping is also suitable.

We clean the oil filter seat and install new filter after filling it with new oil. We also lubricate the rubber seal on the oil filter with oil. The filter must be tightened by hand.

Installing engine protection.

Pour new engine oil into the engine according to the level.

Most car owners buying a crossover Mitsubishi ASH 1 8, consider this model as a compromise between a fairly expensive version with a 2.0 engine and a frankly budgetary equipment 1.6. In Russia, a car in this design is purchased today only at secondary market... For obvious reasons, potential buyers are worried about how they will behave in further car with mileage. Those who have already got hold of it want to know in more detail how to properly operate such an ASX so as not to face serious problems.

The first thing that the overwhelming number of motorists pay attention to is appearance car. Only if the appearance of the car does not cause negative emotions, people begin to study specifications and delve into the intricacies of the design. Mitsubishi ASX 1.8 looks pretty decent. The stylistic solutions used by the designers make it recognizable everywhere. The asset of this model should include:

• successful organization of the interior space of the salon;
• comfortable seating front row;
• well-readable instrument cluster;
• careful adjustment of the upholstery panels.
• short front and rear overhangs.

And yet, for a number of reasons, the body structure of the Mitsubishi ASX 1.8 crossover raises quite serious complaints. Judge for yourself.

• Despite the fact that the crossover looks like a kind of robust man, problems with the lowering windows - skewed guides and jammed seals - clearly signal that the supporting body frame lacks rigidity. The older the car, the higher the likelihood that you will have to deal with squeaks and crickets, change door locks and the axis of the loops.
• Studying on the sites dedicated to Mitsubishi ASX 1 8, reviews of car owners, it is easy to make sure that weak point in the body of the crossover is a trapezoid of the wiper mechanism. Do not try to turn on the wipers if the windshield the car has formed an ice crust. This, with a high degree of probability, will lead to a breakdown.
• Faded and swollen plastic of the crossover dashboard is a common occurrence. To avoid this, it is necessary to carefully protect the Mitsubishi ASX torpedo from sunlight and regularly treat it with polishing compounds. But if the destructive process has begun, then polishes will no longer help.
• Mitsubishi ASX early years of release cannot boast of good sound insulation. Extraneous sounds penetrating into the car interior pretty much get on your nerves. During the production process, the developers tried to eliminate the problem by installing additional noise-absorbing panels on the crossover. And if, say, on the 2011 Mitsubishi ASX 1.8, some elements of noise insulation were absent, they could well be borrowed from models released a few years later.
• The crossover is also criticized for its small, 384-liter, trunk volume. Despite the fact that due to the transformation of the rear row of seats, the space luggage compartment manages to expand to 1219 liters, this is still not enough for the car to become good helper housework.

If we add to this the not too impressive work of the heating and ventilation system, then it turns out that there is nothing to praise for. There are clearly more disadvantages than advantages.

Motor

The power unit with the factory marking 4B10 was installed on crossovers supplied to Russia from 2010 to 2016. It is not entirely clear why the manufacturer subsequently abandoned this vehicle configuration option. Like all motors in the Theta II family, this engine is quite reliable. Its traction characteristics are also satisfactory. For a relatively small displacement, the output is 140 hp. from. and a torque of 177 Nm - quite decent indicators that allow Mitsubishi ASX 1.8 to accelerate to 189 km / h, breaking the 100 km / h line 12.7 seconds after the start.

4B10 engine for Mitsubishi ASX 1.8 crossover

There are no critical flaws in the design of the 4B10 engine, and in the list known issues only:

• excessive noise, which increases as the timing chain is pulled;
• vibrations resulting from the failure of electrical and electronic components.

However, those who buy 1.8 should remember that for 4B10 the manufacturer does not provide for the possibility overhaul... Oversized pistons and rings are not included in spare parts catalogs. Before purchasing a crossover, you must make a complete diagnosis of the motor. If the resource installed on the crossover power unit exceeded 200 thousand km, then buying such a car is hardly advisable.

Those who are interested in what oil to fill in Mitsubishi ASX 1.8 should take note that lubricants with parameters that meet the requirements of API / ACEA SM / A3, A5 standards, with a SAE viscosity of 0W-20, 0W are best suited for a car engine -30, 5W-40 5W-30. These lubricants can be used over the entire operating temperature range. As for a specific manufacturer, then car owners are free to choose themselves. Of course, it should be engine oils proven brands.

Transmission

Regardless of the configuration, the crossover is equipped with a front-wheel drive transmission and a continuously variable variator. True, the execution options may be different. It is known that CVT models F1CJA-2-B3W and F1CJA-2-B3V were installed on cars assembled in Japan in the period 05.2010 - 02.2014 and in the USA in the period 05.2010 - 07.2014. The latter is without an additional oil cooler.

The variator models installed on the crossover differ in their parameters. Parts are not interchangeable. If a malfunction occurs, then before proceeding with the repair of the car, you should clarify which variator on the Mitsubishi ASX 1.8 is installed by examining the markings on the body of the unit.

In all cases, the operating modes affect the CVT resource. High loads, frequent abrupt starts and rapid accelerations reduce the life of the friction bands and the fluid poured into the variator. The planned oil change in the variator should be carried out at least every 75 thousand km, and, if possible, more often. It is bad if the previous owner of Mitsubishi ASX 1.8 liked active driving and did not service the car in a timely manner.

As for the quality of the lubricant, it is recommended to use Mitsubishi DIA QUEEN CVTF-J1 mineral oil in the crossover transmission. It is his manufacturer who pours the ASX 1.8 into the variator on the conveyor. Alternatively, you can choose semi-synthetics Mitsubishi CVTF ECO J4 or MOTUL CVTF MULTI, synthetics NISSAN CVT Fluid NS-2 or Ravenol CVTF NS2 / J1 Fluid. It is not recommended to mix them, for obvious reasons!

Undercarriage

Vulnerability Mitsubishi ASX 1.8 is the suspension. The ground clearance is high enough - 195 mm - and should, in theory, provide the crossover with good cross-country ability. But even on vehicles manufactured for Russian market, the resource of the shock absorbers of the front struts often ends with a mileage of 30 thousand km, even with sparing operating modes. The safety margin of the rear shock absorbers is not much more sufficient. The situation is improving after replacing parts with third-party parts. Products from brands such as KYB or Bilstein last longer than original parts for the 1.8.

Honestly, against the general background of products manufactured by Mitsubishi, the ASX city crossover does not look the best. But if you want to buy a car of this brand, then the information provided in the article will be useful to you. It will help you fully armed to meet the problems that you are likely to encounter during operation.

For the first time saw the light of the Mitsubishi ASX in Geneva in 2010. In the domestic markets of Japan, the car is named RVR and in the United States it is sold as the Outlander Sport. In the Russian markets, ASX can be found with three different engines power of 1.6, 1.8 and 2.0 liters. There are also diesel units with a capacity of 1.6 and 2.2 liters, but they never made it to Russia.

In any case, a car (even a Japanese one) needs care and maintenance. The better you take care of the mechanism, the longer it will delight you. Routine maintenance must be performed once every 15,000 km. Changing the oil and cleaning filters is not difficult and can be done by hand within an hour in the backyard.

Filling volumes and oil selection

Below is the location of the table of oil capacities for different engine versions of engines. In any case, if you buy a 5 liter canister, then about a liter will be removed for refilling (and this must be borne in mind).

Step-by-step instruction

1. Warm up cold engine... We need to clean the old oil from the engine crankcase, the more it flows out, the better.
2. For easy access to the drain plug (and in some models, the oil filter is also attached from the bottom) and the bottom of the car as a whole, you need to jack up or drive on inspection pit (the best way). Also, in some models the "protection" of the engine crankcase can be installed.
3. Unscrew and pull oil dipstick and filler plug... Thus, we will allow air for a better stack of old mining from the crankcase.
4. Substitutes a large container (equal to the amount of oil to be poured).
5. We unscrew the drain plug with a key. Sometimes drain plug made as usual "bolt" under an open-end wrench, and sometimes it can be unscrewed using a four or a hexagon. Do not forget to wear protective gloves, the oil will most likely wake you up warm, but you need to be careful.
   
6. We are waiting for about 10-15 minutes for the mining to drain into a bowl or a cut plastic canister.
7. Optional but very effective! Flushing the engine special liquid is not included in the service regulations and is not mandatory - but. Having a little confusion, you will at times better flush the engine from the old, black oil. At the same time, flushing is performed with the old oil filter within 5-10 minutes. You will be surprised what kind of black oil will pour out with this liquid. This liquid is very easy to use. A detailed description should appear on the flushing fluid label.
   
8. We replace the old filter with a new one. In some models, it is not the filter itself and the filter element (usually yellow) that are replaced. Impregnation of the filter with new oil before installation is mandatory. Lack of oil in a new filter before starting the engine can cause oil starvation, which in turn can deform the filter. In general, this is not a good thing. Remember to also lubricate the rubber o-ring before installation.
   
   
9. Fill in new oil. After making sure that the drain plug is screwed on and a new oil filter is installed, we can proceed to filling in new oil, guided by the dipstick. The level should be between the minimum and maximum mark. Also, you need to remember that after the first start of the engine, a little oil will go away and the level will drop.
10. Recheck the oil level on the dipstick after the first start. Let the engine idle for about 10 minutes.
