Description of CVT oil change on Mitsubishi ASX - SKR-AUTO. How is the oil change in the variator performed on the Mitsubishi ASH Possibilities of the procedure

Mitsubishi ASX- not the most popular crossover for Russian market... However, without a doubt, this is one of the most reliable models among the competition. Stylish, discreet design, well-thought-out interior and good driving qualities - excellent family station wagon with the makings of an SUV. The car is in stable demand. Among the owners of supported copies there are those who prefer to service the ASX in-house. Possibility of independent Mitsubishi repair The ASX is well worth it, especially considering the owners' reluctance to use the expensive Mitsubishi dealership. One of the most common self-service procedures is changing the transmission oil. In this article, we will look at how to properly replace transmission oil on the example of Mitsubishi ASX with a 1.8-liter engine and a CVT.

Which oil to choose

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 the following 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 be changed every 200 thousand kilometers, according to official data. But on the other hand, you do not need to take this figure into account 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 I must admit that this is also an ambiguous figure, because the frequency of fluid replacement in the gearbox depends on many factors:

temperature outside the car
vehicle load
operating mode and driving style

Types of oil changes

Partial - when the fluid is changed without the use of flushing oil. In this case, oil is poured 4-5 times every 500 kilometers. Thus, the oil is gradually renewed.
One-time - one-time fluid change, carried out in compliance with all procedures, including the use of fresh oil. Considered less effective than partial replacement

How to change the oil in a Mitsubishi ASX variator

Sequence of work:

Place the car on the observation deck. Alternatively, a pit or overpass is suitable
Warm up the engine, turn it off, and then set the gearbox selector to parking mode
Open the hood, dismantle the protective casing, under which there is an inlet pipe that blocks access to the battery
The battery is mounted on studs, they must be unscrewed, the terminals removed, then the battery must be removed
Use a 12 mm wrench to unscrew all the bolts of the seat into which the battery is inserted
After the access to the oil filter is opened, it should be replaced with a new element.
Use a 19 mm wrench and unscrew the drain plug. Wait until the used oil has completely drained into a previously prepared container
Care must be taken when removing the pallet, as a small amount of oil, dirt and metal shavings may remain on its surface. The pallet must be well cleaned, rinsed and dried.
Use a 10 mm wrench and unscrew the four bolts holding the oil exchanger - the so-called oil filter fine cleaning... Instead, put a new, exactly the same element. It is also advisable to replace the gasket
Take a 10 mm wrench and unscrew the variator crankcase bolts located around the entire perimeter of the cover (crankcase). Remove the crankcase to gain access to the coarse filter and its subsequent replacement
The coarse filter is held in place by three bolts, they are also unscrewed with a 10 mm wrench
There is a gasket on the crankcase that needs to be washed or replaced
Clean the crankcase and put it in place, fastening with bolts with a force of 15-18 N / m
Tighten the drain plug with a 19 mm spanner.
Fill with new transmission oil. The liquid is poured into the hole with a measuring probe, which must first be pulled out (so as not to interfere). As soon as the volume of liquid is brought to the required level, close the plug and start the engine.
The motor should run for 5-10 minutes, and run the gearbox a little in all modes to mix the oil more efficiently.
Stop the engine, re-check the fluid level. If it is normal, the oil change process in the Mitsubishi ASX 1.8 variator has been successfully completed.

Today in the article we will consider how the oil is changed in the Mitsubishi ASH variator.

For example, let's take a 2010 car with 80,000 km mileage. The manufacturer recommends changing the oil in the variator every 75-80 t / km of vehicle mileage. The amount of oil in the Mitsubishi ASX variator is 7.1 liters.

Spare parts for changing the oil in the variator ASX

To change the oil in the variator you will not need:

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

CVT pan gasket - catalog number 2705A015

Coarse filter (if necessary) - catalog number 2824A007

Fine filter (in the heat exchanger) - catalog number 2824A006

Work on changing the oil in the Mitsubishi ASH variator

Having installed the car on a lift or a viewing hole, it is necessary to remove the engine protection and the front left fender liner to access the heat exchanger and radiator (if provided by the equipment).

We lift the car, unscrew the drain bolt and drain the oil into a container prepared in advance. About 5 liters of oil is drained.

It is advisable to remove the remaining oil from the pan with a syringe with a tube, because about 500 grams of oil remains in it, and when the pallet is removed, everything flows into the hands of the master.

We remove the pallet and wash it from dirt; at the same time, do not forget to wash the magnets that are installed in the pallet to retain metal shavings.

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

Remove the heat exchanger cover and replace the fine filter and O-ring.

Install a new pallet gasket and screw the pallet into place.

Fill in new oil with a funnel through the dipstick hole.

Warm up the car for Idling about 2 minutes, while sequentially switch the variator control selector to all positions and return to “P” or “N”.

After stopping the engine, drain a small amount of oil through the sump into a transparent container. Compare the color of the drained oil with the new one, if it is contaminated, then drain it completely and fill in a new one.

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

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

Also, do not forget about resetting the service interval parameter.

A Mitsubishi ASX car (Mitsubishi ASX), with a 1.8-liter engine, manufactured in 2013, came to us for service. front-wheel drive, mileage 202 thousand km, it is necessary to change the oil in the variator, in addition to this, we will replace the heat exchanger filter and the variator itself. After watching this photo and video instruction, you can repeat everything with your own hands in a garage.

The process of changing the oil in the Mitsubishi ASX variator

The owner's variator began to behave a little problematic, it has a "tightening" when shifting gears. If you turn on the gear and give the gas, a shock occurs. The first oil change was made at 130 thousand km. mileage. For today's change, 8.8 liters of new oil were purchased CVT Fluid J4 article for order MZ320185.

Let's get to work, raise the car, dismantle the left front wheel. We take out the clips and remove the boot boot. We put down the container for the used oil, unscrew the drain plug with a 19 head:

We have glass about 4 liters. Then we twist the cork back into place. We take a funnel with a spout, insert it into the dipstick hole and fill in 3 liters of new oil:

You can start the engine without pulling out the funnel. On a standing car, holding the brake pedal, turn on each of the gears alternately and linger on it for 10-15 seconds. We turn off the engine. We climb under the car again and unscrew the drain plug, draining the filled oil. After the oil has drained off, we begin to unscrew the pan, we do this with a head 10.

Unscrew the variator filter with a 10 head:

While the last drops are draining from the variator, go to the heat exchanger. Using a 10 head, unscrew the 4 bolts of its fasteners:

You may need a flexible extension to get to the top two bolts. We take the heat exchanger to the side, using long clamps we take out its filter:

When removing the filter, pay attention to its rubber band, if it did not come off along with the filter element, it means it remains in the car, be sure to remove it.

The new filter comes immediately with a new O-ring. We put the new heat exchanger filter on the original one, its order number 2824A006... It is placed very simply by hand:

We turn to replacing the heat exchanger gasket, we have a new original one from Mitsubishi, order number 2920A096. Dismantle the old one with a flat screwdriver:

We take a carburetor cleaner and rinse the groove, then wipe it dry. Install a new rubber ring in the groove. Carefully put the heat exchanger back in place and fasten the bolts.

We return to the variator, put on it new filter, we have it firms Asakashi reviews, order number JT406K... The filter comes with a new rubber-cork gasket for the pallet, but we will not install it, we ordered the original one, its purchase number 2705A096... If you have a torque wrench, then tighten the mounting bolts with a force of 9 N-m.

Before installing a new sump gasket, wash off the remaining oil with a carburetor cleaner, then wipe it dry with a clean cloth. We also thoroughly clean the pallet and magnets. We put the gasket on the pallet and bait it. The pad and pallet have rails on the sides. Tighten the pallet bolts with a force of 9 N-m. The original profiled gasket, we hold it perfectly, does not sweat, there is no need to smear it with sealant.

We lower the car and safely fill in 4 liters of new oil for the variator. We start the engine, make sure that there are no smudges from below, warm it up to operating temperature and set the level. In our case, we had to add even more liters.

Replacement steps

The Japanese car Mitsubishi ASX is distinguished by a high level of reliability and optimal technical parameters. Despite this, all assigned maintenance tasks should be completed within the allotted time frame. Experienced drivers can independently cope with the replacement of technical fluid, as a result of which it is not necessary to contact a service station.

Increased demand is noted for variators, which are installed not only on japanese cars, but also for European as well as American ones. Gradually mechanical and even automatic boxes gears are a thing of the past, giving their place to variators. Experts note that the main advantage of the new type of transmission is the optimal level of reliability and the highest possible efficiency. The main task is to understand how the oil is changed in the Mitsubishi ASX variator.

Attention! Scheduled maintenance is carried out in accordance with the recommendations of the Japanese manufacturer Mitsubishi. In the models that were the first and were produced since 2010, the procedure had to be carried out regularly after reaching 90 thousand kilometers. However, subsequently, the indicator still had to be reduced to 75 thousand kilometers, since it is this mileage that guarantees the successful use of the units of the Japanese car.

CVTs use a special oil composition. The fluid is always designed taking into account the pressure in the installed gearboxes and the characteristics of the metal alloy used to make the units. In addition, the oil must prevent potential belt slippage between the pulleys of the device.

The main goal is to choose the right oil for Mitsubishi ASX. The characteristics of the fluid used should be in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. CVT oil must be green. It is important to note that the choice of the manufacturer directly depends on the decision of the drivers, but at the same time it is allowed to use only original products that meet certain tolerances.

Some drivers believe that CVT fluid should not be changed at all. For this reason, they forget about their direct responsibilities until the mileage of 150 and 200 thousand kilometers. It usually turns out that drivers make serious mistakes and yet it is extremely important to take care of regular oil changes. In addition, the operating conditions dictate their own requirements, so the main obligations for maintenance Japanese Mitsubishi car ASX.

The frequency of oil changes depends on the following factors:

ambient temperature;
the specificity of using the car and the possibility of using it as a towing device;
mode of operation of the vehicle.

Thus, it is necessary to pay increased attention to the peculiarities of using a Japanese car in order to successfully solve the tasks set regarding the replacement of technical fluids.

Possibilities of the procedure

Experts note that it is possible to change the oil in the variator different ways... For this reason, existing needs must be taken into account.

Possible ways to replace the fluid:

Partial. In this case, it is planned to drain a certain amount of oil 4–5 times every 500 kilometers. The main task is to renew the fluid.
One-time replacement. Provides for the initial drain of the old oil with a further pouring of the same volume of fresh fluid. In fact, this method cannot be called effective, since a certain part of the oil still remains in the highways of the vehicle.

Advice! Many experts advise a double-pour replacement. In this case, after complete draining, fill in new oil, turn on the engine for 5 - 10 minutes. After the allotted time, the liquid is again drained and re-filled. This double pouring ensures that residual volume is completely eliminated. It is necessary to prepare for dismantling the pallet in order to clean the magnets from accumulated dirt and change the used oil filter... If necessary, at the final stage of the complex event, the mileage is zeroed by the chip-chipping method.

What oil is better to fill

Many drivers are interested in what kind of oil to fill in Mitsubishi ASX is best. This interest turns out to be quite natural. Japanese cars are highly sensitive to the filling of any liquids, so the right choice consumable becomes a truly important task.

Mitsubishi has been able to successfully produce its high quality oil. The best option for filling in ASX cars, it becomes the original Engine Oil. Original products comply with the 5W30 classification, being at the same time a synthetic consumable. Mitsubishi Engine Oil is compliant with ILSAC international standards as well as API.

When replacing motor fluid it is best to use about 4.2 liters of consumable. For this reason, it is recommended to provide a 5-liter canister for the procedure. It is advisable to guarantee a small margin engine oil close at hand, as liquid may need to be added.

For Mitsubishi ASX, only high-quality engine oils are used. The main orientation is the official recommendations of the Japanese manufacturer Mitsubishi. If necessary, products are ordered through an official dealer center, which has established connections for deliveries.

Low pressure

Perform all tasks with the utmost care before changing the engine oil. Oftentimes, problems with a loose oil filter or fluid leaks will result in a drop in system pressure. If a low oil pressure is detected in the Mitsubishi ASX, a special sensor will signal an indicator of 0.4-0.5 atmospheres. However, if the indicator exceeds 1.4–2.0 atmospheres, the indicator will light up, indicating an error.

In unfavorable situations, you need to quickly navigate and make sure there are no potential oil leaks on the crankcase of the car. The drain plug is installed only with a gasket, and then carefully tightened.

Replacement steps

What is the scheme for changing the oil in the Mitsubishi ASX variator:

Initially, the car is installed on a special device and the wheels must be blocked with wheel chocks. Safety depends on it.
To replace the fine oil filter, open the hood, remove the protective cover of the inlet pipe, which blocks access to the battery.
Unscrew the battery mounting studs, remove the terminals and remove the unit.
With a 12 mm wrench, remove the bolts on which the battery is installed.
Then unscrew the drain plug with a 19 mm wrench. Technical fluid is drained from the variator. In this case, about 500 milliliters of oil is removed from the pallet, which is carefully removed.
At the next stage, the entire structure is thoroughly cleaned.
Using a 10 mm wrench, unscrew the four bolts to remove the oil exchanger.
The fine filter is changed for the successful use of the system. When replacing the gasket for the first time, it is not necessary to change it, but subsequently it becomes necessary to replace it.
Then unscrew the bolts that hold the variator crankcase. The main task is to flush or replace the coarse oil filter. If flushing is carried out, it is allowed to use alcohol or gasoline.
At the next stage, the crankcase gasket is changed, which is pre-lubricated on both sides for maximum fit. The engine oil used is suitable for lubrication.
A gasket is installed on the oil pan, connecting it to the variator. Then tighten the bolts, drain plug.
The filling is carried out through a special hole in which the probe is installed. The volume of the liquid is brought to the optimum level.
After pouring, reset the CVT OIL DEGRADATION LEVEL readings. This requires a mandatory pumping out of excess pressure.
At the last stage, the engine is started, keeping the selector knob in each position for up to 5 seconds. After that, the engine oil level is brought to the optimum volume.

Carrying out an engine oil change in the Mitsubishi ASX in this way ensures that the vehicle continues to function well.

We can safely say that variable speed drive- a type of gearbox that is extremely sensitive to the purity of the oil. Change of oil CVT variator MitsubishiASX required earlier, if you prefer an aggressive driving style, like driving out into the countryside, towing a trailer and more. There are two types of service in our technical center CVT oil change: Standard and Maximum(links). Standard - oil change according to the principle of drained and filled, the second - removing and flushing the variator housing pan, flushing or replacement of the coarse oil filter, withdrawal and flushing the CVT CVT cooling radiator... In all cases, we carry out the necessary procedure for zeroing the parameter of the degree of oil decomposition, performed by the scanner Mitsubishi... Also available and replacement of the fine filter.

It should be noted that not all modifications have Mitsubishi ASX with a box CVT there is a radiator for cooling the variator oil.

And so, remove the engine protection

We take out the clips from the front left wheel arch liner to bend it to the side.

Disconnect the clips from the left and right parts of the protective screen under the front bumper and remove it.

We unscrew the drain plug of the variator pallet Mitsubishi ASH and drain the oil.

We unscrew the bolts of the pallet and remove it.

> Turn away coarse oil filter CVT Mitsubishi ASX(three bolts), rinse it. If necessary, we replace it with a new one.

We clean off the remnants of the variator pan gasket.

We return to the removed front left wheel. By bending the fender liner, we get access to the variator heat exchanger. We unscrew the four fastening screws and change the fine filter.

Before installing the pallet gasket and the pallet itself in place, its inside must be washed with a cleaner. Special attention you need to pay to two magnets - their cleanliness is the key to their successful collection of shavings in the variator oil. After that, we put the pallet back.

Fill the variator with oil. We use the original Mitsubishi oil CVT at a price of 590 rubles per liter.

We start the engine and "drive" the gear lever in all positions with a delay of 3-5 seconds in each.
