How Often Should the Transmission Fluid Be Changed in a Mitsubishi Outlander?

[DiAdeline]

The transmission fluid replacement interval for the Mitsubishi Outlander is every 40,000 kilometers, with a replacement capacity of 4L. Additional details regarding the transmission fluid change for the Mitsubishi Outlander are as follows: 1. Gravity Drain Method. The procedure and principle are similar to engine oil changes. Loosen the bolts of the oil pan to allow the transmission fluid to drain out by gravity. This is the most common and easiest method, but it cannot completely remove all the old transmission fluid. Residual dirty old fluid may remain in mechanical recesses and dead corners. 2. Machine Flush Method. New transmission fluid is added to the flushing machine, which is connected to the transmission's fluid lines. The new fluid pushes out the old fluid under the machine's action, resulting in a cleaner fluid line. The more new transmission fluid used in the machine flush, the more thoroughly the old fluid is removed. This method typically consumes about 10-15L of fluid per change and takes approximately 40-80 minutes. 3. Oil Pan Removal Method. This approach allows for a thorough replacement and cleaning from the source, including treatment of the dirty oil filter. Due to the extensive labor required for disassembly, most 4S shops generally do not perform this method.
