Hey mate! Love your work! You have quite literally saved me thousands of dollars already since this video came out and suffice to say it really is appreciated. I would say that donations are on their way but I will unfortunately have to finish this uni degree first but dude your honestly a lifesaver!
Great work Mate concise and accurate instructions perfect for DIY and those like me who are not too familiar with diesels etc. Thanks a lot for taking the time and effort to make this high quality production
So helpful! More triton vids! Only just starting out on how to do this.... 42 and only just learning but loving it. THis video was a great help! Would love info on how to clear the service light, how to understand error codes etc.
great video mate you explain everything very well. i have watched a lot of car servicing video's over the years for various makes and models, your video is up the top for presentation and explanation.
brilliant, very informative, now i can do my 2016 Triton with confidence, i'm sick of getting ripped off by dealers, the last dealer charged me almost $600 for a normal service, no gearbox, diff, air, or fuel, filter changes, and was returned to me with guard scratches which pissed me off hugely. cheers.
Hey Mate! Great work on the service. Just to add something. Whenever you are doing a oil service on any 4N Mitsubishi Diesel engine, you need to perform the oil dolution reset -> On The MUT dealer tool this function is in...Engine / Special function / initialisation / exchange engine oil service. On other tools it is something similar, depending on the make and model. Reason for this is that diesel gets injected to start and keep the DPF regenerating when it needs to. If it is sucessful, the fuel is burnt with no problems, but if the car is unable to complete its burn, or is trying to burn and there is another reason it cannot, then it will be added to the sump and the oils counter in the cars engine computer will increase. When the car is serviced, the tech must reset this oil counter. And he should know what to look for depending on the reading. or instance if it reads 1500cc, he should know to look for an issue. A car that is doing enough long journeys and has no problems will have a count of 0cc - 100cc. Anything up to 600cc is ok with no action needed.
@@signature8543 In other words - yes. Resetting the oil dolution/exchange counters are part of the standard ""oil service/change" procedure in the official dealers (at least from my experience in Central Europe) If you are doing it yourself it is preferable to reset it with a scan tool which have the functionality to do it. It sounds somewhat stupid, but something little like that can prevent you from spending thousands later. If you are doing a lot of highway miles the counters will not rise as much as doing a city driving. So definetely you need to monitor the values every 5-6 months to know where you are with the oil dolution. This topic definately needs more visibilty because it is solving a lot of problems and in the end of the day it is simple reset.
Appreciated the clear and concise instructions mate. Great work. I am about to start doing my own servicings on my MY18 Triton as it has passed the Mitsubishi service coverage. This vid saved me a lot of time looking up info in books and the net. Thanks heaps
really good video, it was very informative and i enjoyed it and the second video about coolant flush also, can you do the front and rear brakes next, thanks.
Well done a really good video, helped me do a good service on my Triton MQ , Thank you. Are you able to show how you get rid of the spanner icon on the dash after you have serviced the truck please ? Thank you in advance. Cheers Steve
For anyone reading the comments and wondering about which brand gear oil to use in their manual MQ/MR gearbox, definitely use Penrite Trans Gear 75w80! I’ve tried the genuine Mitsubishi DiaQueen oil, and Valvoline DuraGear and both are substandard in gearshift feel compared to Penrite.
What a great video! The rear leaf springs on my MQ Triton are pretty much flat with no real arch to them. Is that a problem or is it pretty normal? I do a fair bit of towing
Great video mate, I have seen various things online saying about needing to reset the "oil level counter" with a diagnostic tool, is this something you are aware of, or is it not something to worry about
Should I use the same oil 75w80 on gear an trans box? Do you know what is the recomend oil for the front and back differential?Thanks for thr vid, help me a lot on my first by my own maintenance
Thanks for making this video. I really appreciate it. Looks similar to my 2010 Automatic Turbo Diesel 4x4 Triton, I'm assuming this info will apply to older models too? As a female, I'd love to be able to service it myself and know what to look for so I know i'm not getting ripped off. Please keep making vids on the Triton. Maybe you can also set up a Patreon page so people can donate for the valuable info you provide. Thanks again.
The MN Triton oil filter position is different. I do 7500Km oil changes so I do the in-between oil change. I access the oil filter from under the mud guard.
Hi Driftcarsjp great walkthrough mate!!! I also do a few of these. Have you encountered the oil level fault yet that can get logged in the module. It stopped the DPF from doing a burn - regen and by oil level reset i do not mean oil service light. Cheers Mark
Hi Mark, I am interested on finding out how to reset the oil dilution after an oil change. I have just done one at 7500km's half way to the dealer service at 15,000. I know how to do it on a D-MAX but not on my MR Triton. I don't think the majority of people realise how much of a big deal it can be if its not reset, with some people thinking it is to do with the service reset (which it isn't) Cheers Simon
Hello. Got some question here. Last day on 13 January 2022 I've got my 60k km service at Service centre. Everything seems done correctly. Then I'd have a long drive on 14 January 2022 when I notice there's something weird about my engine sound when I press the throttle and like loss a bit of power. Then later on after 12 hour park, I'll check the engine oil dipstick level, it goes half between max level and the x mark. Then I'll check it again immediately after turned on the engine a while, dipstick level goes about 0.5mm over the max level. Will it cause any damage to my car engine? I already drive for about 200km before realize the overfilling oil engine from the service Centre. Thank you..
Subed, what oil to use in automatic transmission MQ 2015. I went to Tynan's to buy Trans oil and the don't stock it, so I asked what they use, spare parts guy called the workshop and said Castrol and gave a number but not a viscosity number. I called Castrol and the said don't worry about changing the oil if it's not black. Car has done 130000km. Can you advice me on what oil to use and how many liters do I need? Thanks
HI sjp, How often do we change the oil gear of the Mitsubit trion pick-up 2017? because when I go to Mitsubit company to get the oil service, the oil gear is long life oil no need change it, in case the gearbox get the- problem that we need to change it? Are they correct in their recommendations? From Veasna, Cambodia
Hey I have just noticed that you have DOT 3 fluid there for the brakes but my Triton MQ says DOT 4. Is there any real downside to running the DOT3 instead of 4?
Thanks for the great video mate. Can the gearbox oil level be checked with all 4 wheels on the floor? I can fit under there OK, just wondering if the gearbox needs to be leveled by jacking the car?
@@driftcarsjp Cheers mate. What should I level? The chassis rails are angled down toward the front of the car and the gearbox is angled down toward the rear of the car when all 4 wheels are on the concrete. To get the gearbox level I would need to jack the rear of the car up a bit, but to get the chassis rails level I would need to jack the front as it's natural stance is a bit nose down. When I initially removed the fill plug prior to removing the drain, I had around 200ml of oil spurt out. I have refilled with new oil to the bottom of the oil filler hole and I appear to be about 200ml short of the recommended 2.2L oil volume. All of this is with the car sitting on the level concrete floor. Should I jack it and see if I can get some more oil in or is it OK as it is?
Hi There, you said the engine takes 8.4 litres of oil?, the manual states the 4n15 diesel engine holds a total of 7.4 litres of engine oil, 7 litres in pan + 0.3 in filter + 0.1 in oil cooler, every oil change I have ever done has always been 7.4 litres, I have a 2017 MQ Triton GLS auto 4x4 dual cab, also when I look at Penrite's Lube guide it states 8.4 litres as well, strange?
Hey bud, how come the truck doesn't have to be level when filling the gearbox and engine with oil. I thought that would be critical to obtain the correct level
Having the truck slightly off isn't going to cause a great difference in oil going into the box. More will just go to the rear of the box wile filling as the filler is generally in the middle of the box.

My mechanic always put in 10 litres of oil, bout time I do my own service
For anyone reading the comments and wondering about which brand gear oil to use in their manual MQ/MR gearbox, definitely use Penrite Trans Gear 75w80!
I’ve tried the genuine Mitsubishi DiaQueen oil, and Valvoline DuraGear and both are substandard in gearshift feel compared to Penrite.

Awesome video mate, any chance of you doing one on changing the mq triton cv's?
great video how do you reset the service lights on the dash ?
Awesome Aussie
What a great video!
The rear leaf springs on my MQ Triton are pretty much flat with no real arch to them. Is that a problem or is it pretty normal? I do a fair bit of towing
Sick!

Awesome video! Very informative, looking forward to future 4N15 videos! What trolley jack do you use?
It's a supercheap auto jack. Not sure the brand
How many grease nipple ports on the 2WD 2019 new model?
Did you use the same oil for your gearbox and tranfer case? I have the same 4x4 buts it's automatic?
Awesome video mate! What's your opinion on adding some Morey's oil stabiliser while doing oil change?
If you use good quality oil you shouldn't need a oil additive...

Do not forget to Reset the engine oil life with a scan tool.............. Otherwise the DPF will stop functioning.
I have a 2017, Mitsubishi Triton exceeded Auto.
How would you go about filling the transmission oil on this one? Different to your video
I'll check my mates auto triton and let you know .
I have no idea how you unscrewed that fuel filtet si easily. After my first try I needes new housing :/

If an engine is excessively over full of oil it will reduce performance if its about 2-5mm above the max mark it should not cause any issues.
Would it be pretty much exactly the same for an MR triton including fluids/filter parts?
Yep just check oil amounts.
For some reason i cant get the fuel filter to tighten up without leaking.im screwing the clamp up and it leaks when priming.Any tips?
It could be the rubber seal has twisted or not sitting in the correct groove in the plastic
