Mitsubishi Pajero Sport (Montero Sport) 2.4 DI-D (2018): Engine Oil and Oil Filter Change

The 4N15 engine holds 8.4 L (8.9 qt) of oil including the filter and cooler, and in practice takes about 8 L (8.5 qt) on refill. The scheduled maintenance interval is 15,000 km. Under severe conditions, shorten it to 7,500 km. Use DL-1 oil in 5W-30 or 0W-30 viscosity.

Difficulty: Easy Time: 30-40 minutes Steps: 11 Tools: 17 mm wrench or socket, torque wrench, funnel, oil drain pan (15 L (15.9 qt)), gloves, oil filter wrench (optional)

Part

  • 🔩 oil filter 1230A182 (equivalents MANN W 8017, Ryco Z456), drain plug gasket MF660035 or MD050317 (14 mm diameter), DL-1 5W-30 oil, 8 L (8.5 qt) (genuine Mitsubishi MZ320760 or equivalent)

Step by step

11 steps
  1. Warm up the engine to operating temperature (80-90°C) and park the vehicle on a level surface over a pit or on a lift.
  2. Remove the oil filler cap to equalize pressure.
  3. Place the drain pan under the oil pan and remove the drain plug with a 17 mm wrench (be careful, the oil is hot).
  4. Wait for the oil to drain completely (5-7 minutes).
  5. Replace the copper drain plug gasket with a new one and tighten the plug to 39 ± 5 N·m (29 ± 4 lb-ft).
  6. Unscrew the old oil filter (located on the bottom, near the crankshaft pulley). Use an oil filter wrench if necessary.
  7. Wipe the filter mounting surface and lubricate the rubber gasket of the new filter with fresh oil.
  8. Install the new filter by hand until the gasket makes contact, then tighten it another 3/4 turn (do not use a tool to tighten).
  9. Pour in 8 L (8.5 qt) of fresh oil through a funnel.
  10. Start the engine and let it run for 1-2 minutes, then shut it off. After 3-5 minutes, check the level with the dipstick (it should be between MIN and MAX) and top off if necessary.
  11. Inspect the drain plug and the filter for leaks.

Common mistakes and warnings

  • Do not overtighten the oil filter with a tool. 3/4 of a turn by hand after contact is enough. Overtightening will damage the rubber gasket and cause a leak. Use DL-1 oil. Standard diesel oils meeting API CJ-4 or ACEA E9 are also suitable, but exact DL-1 compliance ensures optimal protection for the diesel particulate filter and the exhaust aftertreatment system.
