Inquiry: Pajero 3 Door Automatic Trans

**Field Master** · October 26th, 2004 11:22 AM

Pajero Experts need your advise.
what is the capacity of pajero gen 2.5 automatic transmission fluid. Papalitan ko kasi transfer case support ko at isasabay ko na yung fluid. Ilang liter ba ang kailangan kong bilin. From what I know you don't have to drain all the fluids at one time dahil may natitira pa sa reservoir. Meron na bang nakapagpalit nito? Kailangan ko lang malaman dahil sa eldorado ako bibili. Thanks in advance.

Another thing, magkaiba pala reservoir ng ATF at transfercase (4WD). For pajero with Automatic Transmission equipped with 4WD, what is the type of fluid for 4WD transfercase ? Is it Gear Oil or ATF?

HAYNES recommends (all models i.e 4g54, V6, 4d56, 4mf40):

ATF
Dexron II or Mercon ATF
Capacity (approx)
'86-earlier models= 3.7 ltrs.
'87-later models= 5.1 ltrs

Transfer Case lubricant
SAE 80/90W GL-5 gear lubricant
Capacity (approx) 2.4 ltrs

Hi RLP1099, Thanks, seems that you have your haynes in your pocket all the time.

Can somebody make a comments on Transfercase lubricant (SAE 80/90W..) if this is applicable also for engine with Auto Transmission. From what I heard kung manual daw ang ride Gear Oil or lubricant daw ang nilalagay. Pero kung A/T, ATF (Dexron II) din daw ang nilalagay sa Transfer Case? For those who changed Transfercase Fluid with A/T ano nilagay ninyo?
Sir PK nagpalit ka na ba?

Magkaiba ang fluid ng transmission sa transfer case as per our Mitsubishi Montero manual

**rlp1099** · October 27th, 2004 06:05 PM

Haynes katabi matulog...hehehe

AT fluid (for all models)
Dexron II or Mercon ATF
Capacity
'86-earlier model= 3.7 ltrs.
'87-later models= 5.1 ltrs

Manual Tranny lubricant (all models)
SAE 80/90W GL-5 lubricant
Capacity (approx) 2.4 ltrs

Hi RLP, OTEP, thanks.. OK so Fluid in AT tranny is clear as crystal as ATF (Dexron II/Mecron) but for TCase haynes and mits manual require Gear Oil. The question now is yun Gear Oil sa transfercase applicable din ba kung auto tranny. If one will inspect the construction of AT and TCase under the hood looks like the AT and TCASE fluid/oil has the tendency to mix somewhere although they have different filling nut. The axle that passes on both system could also be filled with oil from these two. So ano nga kaya ang oil sa transfercase for Auto tranny Pajero Gen 2.5. Pasensya na at talagang naguluhan lang ako.
I asked casa on this at iba iba ang sagot nila some use ATF (Las Pinas) but makati and marcos ave recommend SAE90, di naman daw nila masyado pinapalitan ito dahil di naman daw madalas gamitin ang 4wd sa pinas. Ano ba talaga, share naman yun may personal experience on changing Tcase fluid with Auto tranny.

The tranfer case always use gear oil regardless if it's connected to an A/T or M/T.

**rlp1099** · October 28th, 2004 04:34 PM

skywalker is right

I doubled check when i last had ATF and gear oil changed-done at my neighborhood shell station

My ride's an AT and gear oil was changed last year same time as my ATF

Honeslty did not notice anything diff- maybe because i rarely engage into 4wd- pure city driving and long drives to Subic is what i do mostly.

Anyways...

Here's the Hayne's recommended PMS level checks for the fluids in this thread for V6, 4g54, 4d56, 4mf40

level checks:

ATF every 400km or weekly

Power steering Fluid every 400km or weekly

Manual Tranny lubricant every 10,000km or 6 months

Transfer case lubricant every 10km or 6 months

CHANGE INTERVALS FOR DIESEL ENGINES ONLY:

Transfer case lubricant-25,000km or 12 mos.
Manual tranny lubricant-25,000km or 12 mos.
Differential lubricant 25,000km or 12 mos.
ATF-25,000km or 12 mos.

NOTE: most of us go through extreme driving conditions i.e. heavy traffic, stop & go driving, hauling and leisure off road use

IF SO, THEN change intervals should be 22,500km

u know we all got to meet one of these days so u all can get a copy of Haynes in one form

taking care of our rides even more important then ever with prices going up and up

just the other day i had idler arms, bushings, disc pads changed.....but that's for another thread....

Thanks tsikot expert. I have my ATF and Transfer case fluid check last Tuesday. Mitsubishi ATF ang ginamit ko (P200/liter) from eldorado and consumed 5 liters. For transfer case I used 2.5 liter of Mobilube 80W90 GL5 (P145/liter).
RLP1099, pwede ko ba mahiram haynes mo, photocopy ko lang. Kung Ok lang naman.
