Hi, I have a 2008 outlander. I didn’t get a manual with it and am having problems finding the right type of CVT oil. I have read that I should use diaqueen. But have not been able to find anywhere that sells it in the UK, Other than a seller on eBay which says meets the manufacturer specifications Mitsubishi Dia-Queen
SSTF-1
MZ320065

. A generic manual I found online says to use DiaQueen CVTF-J1.

I can find a CVTF-J1 for Japanese/Korean Cars.

Anyone in the UK had any luck with a DIY replacement?

Thanks guys.

 

i'm new to CVT. But from what i've read, its been over filled and is the wrong colour.
I take it, being this colour means time to change?

 

Do not use any substitute. You will regret it.
Use only what is required for your vehicle. If your CVT fluid is green use DiaQueen CVTF-J1. If your current fluid is almost transparent use DiaQueen CVTF-J4. Generally darkened color is the sign that is due for the change.

 

I Would, but not even the car parts companies sell it here in the UK.

 

I suggest that you should ask directly what Mitsubishi UK headquarter recommends as a substitute.

 

DO NOT USE any other fluid...no matter how "compatible" it's advertised to be.


This is the correct and only fluid that goes in that Transmission...full stop.
