Is there a regular ATF THAT would be safe if you're a quart or two low, and the mitz special fluid is not available?

 

What type of transmission fluid hoes in a 2009 Mitsubishi Galant

 

You can use anything that states sp111. (dont use replacement or compatible) I use hundai sp3 . Search all posts on the subject. They are not all in one thread,so keep looking. I & others have submitted a lot of info on the ones you can use and so has "a member "Joel"...x employee A/T man at mitsu as I recall. Chrysler atf 4 can be used too,but all others have to have in big letters sp111.
Come to think of it,the posts are on the other montero forum,whos name/ escapes me after a year since my last visit and a google didnt bring it up today.

 

A mitsu A/T mech/Eng posted either. I still chose sp3 over chry atf 4

 

heys guys i have a 2000 mitsubishi galant an im trying to figure out whats the best engine oil an transmission oil to use

 

Whatever the manual says for the engine. Those numbers are not just made up. There is a reason why specific weight oils are needed. As as transmission fluid, I'd stick to MTF (Mitsubishi trans fluid) only. Call me paranoid, but that is the one that Mitsu transmissions like

 

Ive usd it for abt 20K miles and works fine. All my driving is mountain hwy/fwy driving from 500 ft elevation to 3500 ft round trip and 5 dys a week. If there was a problem Id know it by now.

 

ok i have a feeling that my automatic transmission is going bad but i have this wired prob when my car is in the 4th gear an i give it more gas it goes back to 3rd gear then when i relase gas it goes back in 4th an pick up speed... anything on that?

 

I had my torque converter replaced 4 times and the transmission overhauled 3 times because of heavy vibration similar to driving on a rumble strip on the edge of the road. It turned out that it was caused by using the wrong type of oil. Take the advice below and buy genuine Mitsubishi oil.
