What oil to fill in the Mitsubishi AHS variator. Description of CVT oil replacement on Mitsubishi ASX - SKR-AUTO. Available oil options

Mitsubishi ASX is not the most sought-after crossover in the Russian market. However, no doubt, this is one of the most reliable models among competitors. Stylish inconspicuous design, thought out salon and good driving qualities - an excellent family wagon with a SUV settings. The car uses stable demand. Among the owners of the supported copies there are those who prefer to serve ASX on their own. The possibility of self-repair Mitsubishi ASX is fully justified, especially if you consider the reluctance of the owners to use the services of the Mitsubishi dealership. One of the most common independent service procedures is to replace the oil in the gearbox. In this article, we consider how to correctly replace the transmission oil using the example of Mitsubishi ASX with a 1.8-liter engine and variator.

What to choose oil

It is recommended to fill only high-quality original oil, corresponding to certain parameters specified in the instructions for the machine. In particular, it is preferable to use such options: Mitsubishi Dia Queen CVT Fluid J1, Nissan NS2, as well as Mitasu CVT and Nissan CVT Fluid NS.

When to fill

Transmission oil for Mitsubishi ASX is recommended to change every 200 thousand kilometers, according to official data. But on the other hand, it is not necessary to take into account this figure if the car is operated in difficult climatic and road conditions. So, in Russia, the recommended oil change interval reaches 30-40 thousand kilometers. But it must be recognized that this is also an ambiguous figure, because the frequency of replacement of the liquid in the checkpoint depends on the set of factors:

• temperatures overboard
• the degree of production of the car
• driving mode and driving style

Types of oil replacement

Partial - when the liquid is replaced without the use of washing oil. In this case, the oil is 4-5 times after 500 kilometers. Thus, the oil is gradually updated
One-time - one-time replacement of fluid is carried out in compliance with all procedures, including with the use of fresh oil. It is considered less effective compared to partial replacement

How to replace oil in the Mitsubishi ASX variator

Sequence of work:

1. Install the car on the viewing area. Alternatively, a pit or aleacade is suitable
2. Warm the engine, drown it, after which install the gearbox selector to parking mode
3. Open the hood, dismantle the protective casing, under which the inlet pipe is overlapping access to the battery
4. The battery is attached on the hairpins, they must be unscrewed, remove the terminals, then remove the battery
5. Take advantage of 12 mm key to unscrew all bolts of landing space in which the battery is inserted
6. After access to the oil filter opens, it should be replaced with a new element.
7. Use the key to 19 mm, unscrew the drain plug. Wait until the exhaust oil fully flows into a predetermined container
8. When removing the pallet, it is necessary to act neatly, since on its surface there may be a small amount of oil residues, dirt and metal chips. Pallet must be well clean, rinse and dry
9. Take advantage of 10 mm key, and unscrewed four bolts, holding the oil utility - the so-called oil filter of fine cleaning. Instead, put a new one, exactly the same element. It is also desirable to replace the sealing gasket
10. Take a 10 mm key, and unscrew the crankcase bolts of the variator, located all over the perimeter of the cover (Carter). Remove Carter to access the coarse filter, and the subsequent replacement
11. Coarse filter is held in three bolts, they also twisted with a key by 10 mm
12. The crankcase has a gasket that needs to washed or change
13. Clear Carter and put it in place, fixing bolts with an effort 15-18 n / m
14. Drain plug spin the key to 19 mm
15. Pour new transmission oil. The liquid is poured into the hole with a measuring probe that you want to pre-pull (in order not to interfere). Once the volume of the fluid is brought to the desired level, close the cork, and start the engine.
16. Motor must work 5-10 minutes, and work a little transmission in all modes to more effectively mixed oil
17. Load the engine, re-check the fluid level. If it is normal, the process of replacing the oil in the Mitsubishi ASX 1.8 variator is successfully completed.

There is nothing surprising that after familiarization with the rates of dealerships of the dealer centers, many car owners are interested in how the oil change in the variator is made on Mitsubishi ASX. The fact is that the cost of this service starts from 17,000 rubles. Are such costs justified?

To carry out full service that the officials are recommended to perform once in 90,000 km, the following will be required.

1. Certain professional skills. Alas, but the oil change in the Mitsubishi ASX variator is not a task for beginners.
2. Good tool set. Access to the parts of the fastener is difficult, and performing a job with a screwdriver and a pair of horn keys will not work.
3. New transmission fluid, the parameters of which satisfy the requirements of the manufacturer.
4. Set of essential spare parts.
5. Connector for accession to the diagnostic connector of Mitsubishi ACS and special software.

On some sections of the list it is necessary to talk in more detail.

Select Oil

Official dealers recommend pouring in CVT only by Japanese specialists Dia Queen CVTF-J4 transmission fluid. In fact, this is not at all. The crossover is equipped with a stepless variator (CVT) / RE0F10A. In addition to Mitsubishi ASX, this model of the variator was installed on the models of various car manufacturers. There is no reason not to trust the opinion of specialists such firms as:

• Nissan recommending to use Lubrikant Nissan CVT Fluid NS-3;
• Renault, approved by the ELFMATIC CVT transmission fluid;
• Jeep offering Mopar CVTF + 4 in the same variators.

It is possible that these consumables will be more accessible and cheaper. And let you not frighten the difference in color. It does not matter much. To fill, Mitsubishi ASC variator will require about 6 liters of lubricant. If you get the products of the company ELF, standing about 1000 rubles per 1 liter, buying will cost 6000 rubles.

Spare parts

By preferring products of third-party manufacturers, it will be possible to save on the purchase of components.

• Instead of the original crankcase of CVT CVT Mitsubishi AFC (catalog number 2705A015), which is asked for 700 rubles, it is quite possible to use analogues from ENA or A-GRESSOR companies (about 350 rubles).
• Instead of the original filter of the oil cooler (catalog number 2824a006), the cost of 800 rubles, it makes sense, paying about 300 rubles, to buy products under Airtech brands (South Korea) or Quattro Freni (Italy).
• The seals purchased for 30 rubles will reliably fulfill their assignment at no worse than the original gaskets.

And you still need an oil coaled ring (№2920A096) for 200 p.

Additional equipment

Even having a good set of plumbing tools, to serve Mitsubishi ASC with CVT will have to get some additional equipment.

1. Syringe for pumping the oil through the hole of the probe. It is best if it is a solid device, under pressure supply oil through a special hose. In the extreme case, the usual medical syringe of cubes per 100 pair with a small funnel will be consolidated.
2. Flat cuvette with no mee 300 ml. It will be required when the work is made not on the lifting. High tanks are not served under the oil cooler.
3. Beaker.
4. Couple liters kerosene.

Do not save on these trifles, they will greatly simplify your life.

Connector and software

If after replacing the transmission fluid in the variator, do not reset the aging counter of the transmission oil on Mitsubishi ACS, the problems will not wait for a long time. The control electronics will begin to go crazy, and the variator will quickly fail. The minimum set of equipment necessary to fulfill the mandatory procedure includes:

• the OBD-2 Standard Connector, which is capable of Bluetooth to connect with a smartphone and tablet on the Android platform - costs about 2000 rubles;
• actually smartphone or tablet;
• software.

As a possible option, you can offer the CVTZ50 program. It is completely Russified, performs all the necessary features and on services like Play Market or Google Play costs about 200 rubles.

Service procedure

First of all, you should warm the variator to the operating temperature and measure the level of transmission fluid on the dipstick. It will need to remember or take a picture. Then operate in the following order.

1. Arming the tank of suitable size (it will suit the usual bucket with a capacity of 8 - 12 liters), we unscrew the drain plug and drain the workout.
2. We raise the car with a jack or lift and remove the left front wheel.
3. We dismantle the locker, in order to access one of the oil cooler bolts.
4. Move into the pumproom space to remove the battery and dismantle the battery. Children and people with weak nerves please remove. This work on Mitsubishi ASC is hardly possible to fulfill without the use of abnormative vocabulary. Access to fasteners is very difficult.
5. We substitute a cuvette or other capacitance, and in the extreme case, the newspaper or cloths. After that, unscrewing 4 bolts, remove the oil cooler. From it flow 100 - 200 ml of oil.
6. We extract your filter and seal and send them to the pit.
7. Having unscrewed the bolts, remove the pallet, supporting his hand. Do it will have to be careful. About 200 ml of oil will remain at Mitsubishi ASC without oil radiator in the pallet. If the radiator is set - flowing near the liter of the liquid.
8. By revealing 3 bolts, removing the coarse filter. We act gently so as not to lose the sealing ring.
9. We clean the pallet from the residues of dirt and collect magnets chips.
10. We wash the coarse filter and install in place, without forgetting about the rubber ring.

1. We put and fix the pallet. Bolt tightening force - 7.9 H, no more. Otherwise you can thread the thread on the CVT case.
2. Replacing the gasket and filter, mounted the oil cooler.
3. Return to regular places removed components.
4. A measuring glass is determined by the total amount of fusion lubricant. Measure the similar amount of fresh oil.
5. Through the hole of the shit, fill the variator with a transmission fluid to the COLD mark. In the case of Mitsubishi ASX, about 4 liters will need.
6. Run the engine. With fivenecond pauses, we sequentially switch the selector modes in the R, D, and N position. The moach motor and check the level. The liquid must go.
7. Take the balance. We start the car, heating the CVT and check the level again. If you did everything right, the amount of lubricant must match the one that was marked before the start of service.

After that, it remains only to connect the adapter to the constructed Mitsubishi ASX connectivity and, guided by the instructions for software, reset the indications of the aging counter of the transmission oil. The work is completed.

Mitsubishi ASX repair is not the simplest task. Without at least the initial level of training, it is not worth a self-replacement of fluid in CVT. However, the procedure made by its own hands allows you to save about 8 - 10 thousand rubles at a time and is a guarantee that the service is produced by qualitatively and in full.

Today in the article Consider how oil changes in Mitsubishi ASX variator.

For a sample, take a car of 2010 release with a mileage of 80,000 km. The manufacturer recommends replacing the oil in the variator every 75-80 t.km. The amount of oil in the Mitsubishi ASX variator is 7.1 liters.

Spare parts for replacing oil in the ASX variator

To replace oil in the variator, you will need:

Oil in an amount of 7.1 liters (for partial replacement)

Laying of the variator pallet - catalog number 2705A015

Coarse filter (optional) - Catalog number 2824A007

Filter of fine cleaning (in the heat exchanger) - catalog number 2824A006

Heat exchanger gasket - Catalog number 2920A096

Laying drain plug - catalog number 2705A013

Sealing ring for coarse filter - catalog number 2824A005

Work on the replacement of oil in the variator of Mitsubishi ASX

By installing the car on the lift or the observation pit, it is necessary to remove the engine protection and the front left liner to access the heat exchanger and the radiator (if it is provided with the package).

We raise the car, unscrew the drain bolt and drain the oil into the prepared in advance of the container. The oil merges about 5 liters.

The syringe with the tube is desirable to remove the remains of oil from the pallet, because It remains about 500 grams of oil and when removing the pallet, everything flows on the hands of the wizard.

Remove the pallet and wash it away from the dirt. At the same time, do not forget to wash the magnets that are installed in the pallet for detention of metal chips.

We unscrew and change the coarse cleaning filter in the variator.

Remove the heat exchanger cover and change the fountal cleaning filter and the sealing ring.

We establish a new pallet gasket and screw the pallet to the regular place.

Pour a new oil with a funnel through a hole for the probe.

We warm the car at idle about 2 minutes, while switching the sequentially control selector of the variator to all the positions and return to "P" or "N".

Loading the engine to drain a small amount of oil through the pallet into a transparent container. The color of the fusion oil is compared with the new, if it is contaminated, then merge completely and pour a new one.

If the oil is not contaminated, then add oil to the level, warm the car to the operating temperature (up to 2 cooling fan triggered).

Set the oil level in the variator within the "HOT" mark on the dipstick.

Also do not forget about the reset of the service interval parameter.

Variators (CVT) of Japanese origin use authority. CVT is installed on European and American cars. With each new model of the car, the variator occupies a place of classic manual transmission and automata.

The machines on which the variator are installed, differ from the car with a manual switching switch to a smoother course and comfort, from the automatic option - reliability and efficiency. According to the manufacturers, the variator, subject to simple recommendations, is able to be operated for a very long time. In addition, it does not need service in such a volume as an automatic and manual box. The durability of this unit directly depends on how carefully the driver will be treated.

According to the planned service recommended by manufacturers, the oil replacement in the ASX variator in the first models produced since 2010 should be carried out at the achievement of 90 thousand km of mileage. A little later, this figure reduced to 75 thousand km. The variasts use a special composition of the oil.

The fluid is designed taking into account the increased pressure in the transmission and the special metal alloy used in the manufacture of the internal components of the CVT. In addition, it must prevent the slipping of the metal belt between the pulleys of the device.

Characteristics of oil for fill in the variator on Mitsubishi ASX must comply with the recommended manufacturer. Oil for the variator has a green. The manufacturer's choice may be at the discretion of drivers, the main thing is that it is original and corresponded to tolerances. You can use Mitsubishi Dia Queen CVT Fluid J1, Nissan NS2, Mitasu CVT or Nissan CVT Fluid NS, etc..

It is believed that the oil in variators does not require replacement at all. Before running 150,000 and 200,000 km, you can generally "not peck" into the transmission. But even the manufacturers can not clearly answer the oil in the variator, because the operating conditions of the car are different.

Oil replacement frequency depends on:

• ambient temperatures (minus or plus);
• there is a load in the form of a trailer device and how often it is used;
• auto operating mode.

Replacing the oil in the variator can be performed in several ways:

• partial replacement. In this case, a certain amount of liquid is merged 4-5 times after 500 km of mileage. In this case, the oil is updated.
• one-time replacement when the old liquid is drained and poured the same amount of fresh oil. This method is not effective, since a certain amount of old fluid remains in highways.

Replacing the oil in the ASX Mitsubishi variator is recommended on the principle of double spraying. After a complete drain of the liquid, a new oil is poured, then you need to turn on the engine for 5-10 minutes, after which it drains and poured again. It is also necessary to dismantle the pallet for cleaning magnets from dirt and filter shift. Final stage - mileage reset by the method of chip.

Independent oil change in the MITSUBISHI ASX variator

In order to replace the liquid in the ASX variator, it is necessary:

In cars released until 2014, the radiator was not installed on the variators. Structurally, this refinement can significantly increase the resource of the variator, which means to increase the timing of oil operation. With timely replacement of the oil and filters of the variator, the transmission without repair guarantees mileage of 300,000 km.

The Mitsubishi ASX car does not provide a scoreboard, signaling a malfunction or emergency operation of the CVT operation, so it is necessary to control the mileage and not allow untimely oil replacement and filters.

As you know, the quality of cars produced in Japan, namely Mitsubishi ASX, is at a good level. Vehicles are reliable and possess excellent technical characteristics, but require timely attention. To push the repair period, it should be carefully referring to the maintenance of a car, without delaying to replace the oil in Mitsubishi ACS, to observe the recommended manufacturer frequency. Car owners with great driving experience are quite capable of replacing the consumables on their own, so they do not need to contact that.

Recently, the demand for variators installed on any vehicle has grown. Variators are displacing "mechanics" and even "automatic". According to experts, the main advantage of the advanced type of transmissions is considered a high degree of security and economy.

How does oil replacement in Mitsubishi AFS, specificity

The first models of Mitsubishi Japanese autocontraser cars with new transmissions appeared in 2010. Given the manufacturer's recommendations, the shift of the lubricant should occur when 90 thousand km has passed the path. But this figure was soon reduced to 75 thousand km, as the manufacturer gives guarantees successful operation of the motor system only on this distance.

For variants, the use of certain lubrication mixture compositions is typical. The technical solution is created on the basis of various conditions, for example, pressure in the gearbox and the parameters of the behavior of the metal surfaces of the power unit. In addition, the lubricating component should not allow the belt slippage.

It turns out that it's all about correctly selected oil for Mitsubishi ASX. Consumables must comply with the manufacturer's requirements. It is worth noting that the lubricant for the variator has a characteristic distinctive feature from other varieties, namely green.

The frequency of oil replacement in Mitsubishi ASX depends on many aspects:

• temperature indicator of the surrounding environment;
• the nature of the application of the machine and the possibility of its use as a trailer;
• load and working conditions of motor vehicles.

Increased attention to the Japanese car regarding the replacement of the lubricant material - the key to impeccable work and the successful achievement of the tasks.

Methods of replacement

You can change the lubricant in the variator with various methods, and you need to be guided by the required needs. Basic ways to replace the consumable material:

Incomplete

Here it is understood to drain a certain volume of the car every half a thousand kilometers of the way. Usually drained up to five times. The main goal is to update the consumables.

For one session

It is assumed to be a complete drainage with a replacement for a fresh portion of oil similar volume. This method is difficult to be called efficient, because in the car's motor system, at least some of the former oil remains.

According to experts, the process of replacing the oil fluid in Mitsubishi ASX should be made according to the double portion. This method involves a complete drainage of spent consumables and a double oil bay. If we consider in more detail, then after the lubrication is drained, the new portion is poured, while the engine should be made to work on it 10 minutes. As soon as the time passed, the working structure merges again and a new portion is poured into the system again. The principle of the twofold run guarantees a complete "pasture" of oil remnants from the engine

Features of choice

Many car owners are interested, and what oil to fill in Mitsubishi ASX to work properly motor system? It should be immediately noted that the goods manufactured by Japanese are excessively sensitive to consumables. The low quality of the mixture can negatively affect the operation of the motor, so it is important to make the right choice of oil mixture.

Mitsubishi autoconecern has established its own production of consumables having high quality characteristics. The most optimal choice for filling in Mitsubishi ASX is the synthetic branded mixture of Engine Oil 5W30. The product complies with international standards API and ILSAC.

Basic stages of replacement

The diagram at which the oil change is carried out in the Mitsubishi ASX variator, it looks like this:

The vehicle is fixed on a special device where the wheels are additionally blocked.

To get rid of the filtrate, it is necessary to open the hood of the machine and remove the cover of the intake nozzle cover, blocking the approach to the rechargeable battery.

The battery is eliminated from fixing connections and terminals, and then removed from the system.

12 mm key unscrewed bolts located under the battery.

The key is more, by 19 mm, unscrew the plum plug. After that, the consumable mixture is removed from the variator, the remains of oil from the pallet are also neatly merged.

Now it's time to clean the equipment. The key-tent is twisted four bolts fixing the oil utility.

The filtration system of fine cleaning changes.

Fasters are released, holding the carter of the variator. The main purpose of this action is washing and changing the filtrate of rough cleaning. When washing, gasoline or alcohol can be used.

The next step is fixing the gasket between the crankcase pallet and the variator. Slum bolts and plug wrap.

Oil bay is produced through a specially created opening, in which the oil dipstick is located. The volume is communicated to the standard value.

After changing the composition, it is necessary to reset the value "extremely low oil level". To carry it out, you need to pump out the surplus of pressure.

Similar oil replacement technology in the Mitsubishi ASC variator is a guarantee of a safe and uninterrupted car work.
