The automatic transaxle should be maintained and serviced by an au
thorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice to obtain the best performance and longest life. It is impor
tant 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 displayshows the engine is wa
rmed up and the fluid
in the transaxle is heated to its normal work- ing temperature. Driving with the wrong fluidlevel 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 selectorlever in the “P” (PARK) position.
2. The fluid level should be at the HOT mark, but never a
bove 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 isinstalled 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 Cor
poration does not rec-
ommend the addition of
any fluid additives to
the transaxle.
