Oh no, dont get me wrong, I trust my mechanic, but I also know how I drive. Fine me some one that has more than 80K on a 07 outlander. I know someone. Me..... and i've yet to do the transmission flush. But i will soon, only cus i know i drive it hard.

The reason I said not to take it the wrong way is cus some people take things offensively on here and I dont want you to think Im insulting you intelligence. I've seen it on other post, so I'm just saying. What year do you have and how many miles do you have on it? I have so many miles because I live by the beach but I go to the mountains a lot for snowboarding. The outlander is great for the snow. Its great any where.

 

Hello, I have a 08 Outlander too, how many quarters of oil does the outlander automatic trans needs?

BTW, do you or anyone know the part # for the rear differential oil and how many quarters it needs?

Thanks.

 

I have a 2007 outlander with the jatco 6 speed transmission:

The transmission fluid required, as stated, is the diaqueen J2 and no other. Mitsubishi's manual for the outlander, and its service requirements, seem rather generic (for example, changing plugs at 45k miles, when exactly the same plugs are good for 120k miles in my Sienna).

I would suspect the fluid would be fine for the 95k miles suggested, but changing it earlier may prolong the life of this tranny. My Sienna, with toyota type T-IV fluid, is rated as never needing a change. Both it and the diaqueen are non-synthetic fluids. I disregard this, of course, and do a drain/fill cycle every year to swap out 40% of the fluid. I have also done a drain/fill cycle on my outlander and it's easier than an oil change.

Open the drain on the bottom of the transmission pan->catch the old fluid -> measure the quantity (3.2liters came out of mine) of old fluid -> replace the drain plug (DONT OVER-TORQUE THE PLUG!!!! THE O-RING SEALS THE PLUG. 32 INCH POUNDS SHOULD DO IT) and refill the same quantity into the dipstick tube. total cost to me was under $60 and done every year or two should keep the transmission running for the life of the car.

 

I have an Outlander 2008 XLS 2.4 (4B12 Eng. JATCO JF011E CVT).

Here in New Zealand the dealership, my mechanic, and JATCO all agree that the service interval is 90,000 - 105,000 klm or 5 years whichever comes first.

Some of the modern CVTs don't even have a dipstick, and are stated as having a lifetime fill.

Dealership quote to flush with Diaqueen CVTF-J1 NZ$350 - NZ$400.

Sounds like some of the vehicles on this forum have a conventional AT as opposed to a CVT.

 

Any 2007+ outlander with the V6 engine has the 6 speed jatco auto.

 

All V6 have a real 6 speeds transmission not a snowmobile belt device (CVT)

Probably need the "real" transmission with all that snow "Eh?"

 

haha

 

My 2012 manual states the automatic 6 speed uses Diaqueen J3.

is it not J2 anymore?

 

I think I read in another thread that some of the newer trannys use J3 for the automatics, which may just be an updated formula.
