How many liters of transmission oil are needed for a Pajero V73 transmission oil change?

For a Pajero V73 transmission oil change, if done manually (gravity method), approximately 4 to 6 liters of oil are required; if using an oil changer, around 9 to 12 liters are needed. The replacement cycle varies for different vehicle types. Below are the recommended replacement cycles for transmission oil: Manual Transmission: Manual transmission oil is generally recommended to be replaced every three years or approximately every 100,000 kilometers. Automatic Transmission: Automatic transmission oil is generally recommended to be replaced every two years or approximately every 40,000 kilometers. Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT): CVT transmission oil is generally recommended to be replaced every two years or approximately every 60,000 kilometers. The methods for changing transmission oil are as follows: Unscrew the drain plug at the bottom of the transmission to drain the oil, then refill. Remove the transmission oil pan directly to drain and refill the oil: This method is more thorough than the previous one, as it removes impurities from the bottom of the oil pan. Use a circulation machine to change automatic transmission oil: A smart circulation machine can dynamically change the oil, filtering and cleaning sludge and impurities inside the automatic transmission.

I remember driving the Pajero V73 for so long, and every time I changed the automatic transmission fluid, I needed to prepare around 7 liters. I've tried it several times myself. If you only change the fluid in the oil pan, 5-6 liters might be enough, but for a full system flush, it's best to use the full amount to ensure proper cleaning and lubrication. Don't be careless when changing the fluid—using the wrong specification or too little can cause the transmission to slip or overheat. I've seen it happen to someone else's car, and the repair costs were high. It's recommended to change the fluid every 60,000 kilometers using the OEM-recommended JWS3324 fluid, and avoid adding other liquids. By the way, checking and replacing the transmission filter at the same time can extend its lifespan. The job is fairly simple—just take it to a professional shop and avoid DIY attempts. Keeping your vehicle in good condition ensures peace of mind on long trips.
