Varnish and sludge can accumulate when Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) is utilized for longer than is advised, obstructing crucial internal valves and screens. Poor shift quality or even transmission failure could result from this.
Your Mitsubishi car is designed exclusively with Mitsubishi Diamond ATF. It has unique friction modifiers that enhance the quality of shifts. Don’t allow anything else to operate with such a crucial component.
Mitsubishi Diaqueen ATF SP III is used in conventional Mitsubishi automatic transaxles.
The only type of CVT fluid (constantly variable transaxle) used is Mitsubishi Genuine CVT Fluid J4.
If SP III (or any other transmission fluid not specifically made for the Mitsubishi CVT) is used, transaxle damage will result.
The warranty does not cover the replacement of damages brought on by the use of parts or services that were not authorized by the Warranty and Maintenance Manual.
