The automatic transaxle should be maintained
and serviced by an authorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice to obtain the best performance and
longest life. It is important that the transaxle
fluid is kept at the correct level.
The fluid level should be checked when the
bar graph for the engine coolant temperature
display on the multi-information display
shows the engine is warmed up and the fluid
in the transaxle is heated to its normal work-
ing temperature. Driving with the wrong fluid
level will rapidly wear out the transaxle and
destroy the fluid.
1. With the brake pedal fully depressed and
the engine idling, select each gear
momentarily, ending with the selector
lever in the “P” (PARK) position.
2. The fluid level should be at the HOT
mark, but never above the HOT mark
when the engine is warmed up. Add or
drain fluid to get to the correct level.
3. Make certain that the dipstick cap is
installed properly to keep dirt and water
out of the transaxle.
Use only “Mitsubishi Motors Genuine ATF-
J3” transaxle fluid to ensure optimum trans-
axle performance.
Mitsubishi Motors Corporation does not rec-
ommend the addition of any fluid additives to
the transaxle.
