The resource and efficiency of the internal combustion engine directly depend on the quality composition of the lubricant. A motor oil suitable for the parameters of the motor creates a strong protective film on its internal elements and contributes to long-term operation. This article describes the characteristics of the recommended engine oil for Mitsubishi Pajero.
Model 1995 release.
Petrol power units
According to the car manual for the Mitsubishi Pajero (4G64, 6G72, 6G74 engines), the manufacturer recommends using motor oils that correspond to the SG class or higher according to the API classification. The recommended viscosity of the lubricant is indicated in diagram 1.
Scheme 1. The relationship between the viscosity of the oil and the ambient temperature. According to scheme 1, at extremely low temperatures, 5w-20 should be poured (from -10 0 C and less). For a temperature index of less than +10 0 C, 5w-30 is poured, and 5w-40 or 5w-50 is poured if the temperature conditions are below +20 0 C. For 10w-30, the operating temperature range is limited (from -30 0 C to +40 0 FROM). All season lubricants 10w-40 and 10w-50 are poured if the thermometer is above -30 0 C. At -15 0 C (and above), lubricants 15w-40 or 15w-50 are used. If the temperature outside the car is above -10 0 C, use 20w-40 or 20w-50.
Diesel engines
Scheme 2. Recommended viscosity of engine oil, taking into account the temperature regime of the region in which the car will be operated. According to scheme 2, for the summer, with a limited temperature range from 0 0 C to +40 0 C, SAE 30 is used. If the temperature is above -10 0 C, pour 20w-40, with a thermometer reading of -15 0 C and above, pour 15w-40. For motor fluid 10w-30 operating temperature range is limited (from -20 0 С to +40 0 С). SAE 5w-40 motor oils are used at temperatures less than +20 0 C, and 5w-30 or 5w-50 lubricants are used under temperature conditions less than +10 0 C.
Refueling volumes
The volume of engine oil, taking into account the filling capacity of the oil filter and Mitsubishi Pajero oil cooler, is:
- 4.9 l for motors 4G64, 6G72, 6G74;
- 6.7 liters in the case of 4D56 auto engines;
- 7.8 liters for 4M40 power units.
The total amount of oil required, excluding lubrication in the oil filter (without filter replacement) and oil cooler, is:
- 4.5 liters for the 4G64 engine;
- 4.3 l if power units 6G72 or 6G74;
- 5.5 liters in the case of 4D56 and 4M40 motors.
Mitsubishi Pajero 3 1999-2006 release
Model 2001 release. Gasoline motors
The Mitsubishi Pajero instruction manual (6G7 package) states that the lubricants used must meet the SG motor oil class (or higher) in accordance with API standards. The selection of the viscosity of the motor fluid is carried out according to scheme 3.
Scheme 3. Recommended viscosity of motor fluid. Having deciphered scheme 3, it is not difficult to determine that at extremely low temperatures for the winter it is recommended to use SAE 5w-30 or 5w-40. In limited temperature conditions from -25 0 C to +40 0 C, 10w-30 grease is suitable. With a thermometer reading above -25 0 С, 10w-40 or 10w-50 is applicable, with a temperature reading of -15 0 С (and above), lubricants 15w-40 or 15w-50 are used. For regions with air temperatures from -10 0 С (and higher), 20w-40 or 20w-50 is poured.
Diesel car engines
Scheme 4. Recommended viscosity characteristics of lubricants. According to scheme 4, the manufacturer, depending on the temperature outside the car, it is recommended to use the following motor oils:
- SAE 30 if the thermometer reading is from 0 0 С to +40 0 С;
- 20w-40 under temperature conditions from -10 0 C (and above);
- 15w-40 at temperatures from -15 0 C (and above);
- 10w-30 at a temperature index from -15 0 С to +40 0 С;
- 5w-30 if the air temperature is from +10 0 С (and below).
Refueling volumes
Refueling tanks Mitsubishi Pajero including oil filter and oil cooler:
- total volume 4.6 l (0.3 l in oil filter) for model 6G7;
- total volume 6.5 l (0.8 l in the oil filter and 0.4 l in the oil cooler) for the 4D5 configuration;
- total volume 9.8 (1.0 l oil filter volume, 1.3 l grease in oil cooler) for 4M4 engines.

- lubrication class SG (or higher) according to the API standard;
- ACEA A3/B3, A3/B4 or A5/B5;
Scheme 5 is used to determine the viscosity.
Scheme 5. The influence of ambient temperature on the choice of oil viscosity. Please note that motor fluids 0w-30, 5w-30 and 5w-40 can only be used if they meet ACEA A3 / B3, A3 / B4 or A5 / B5 and API SG (or higher).
In accordance with scheme 5, at a temperature index of +40 0 С, 0w-30 or 5w-30 is poured. Under conditions from -35 0 C (or less) to +50 0 C (or more), 5w-40 is used. If the thermometer shows from -25 0 C to +40 0 C, pour 10w-30. At a temperature index greater than -25 0 C, pour 10w-40 or 10w-50. With a thermometer reading of -15 0 С (and higher), 15w-40 or 15w-50 is used, if the temperature is more than -10 0 С, 20w-40 or 20w-50 is poured.
Diesel engines
For machines equipped with a particulate filter, it is recommended to use lubricants that meet ACEA A1/B1, A3/B3, A3/B4 or A5/B5 or API CD (or higher).
If the car is equipped with a particulate filter, ACEA C1, C2 or C3 is used, as well as DL-1 according to API standards. Scheme 4 is used to select the viscosity.

The maximum consumption of motor fluid is 1 l / 1 thousand. km and depends on the operating conditions of the car.
Conclusion
In the instruction manual Mitsubishi car Pajero, the manufacturer indicates that the use of an unsuitable car oil can harm the engine. It is also forbidden to use additional additives to the car oil.
When operating the machine in difficult conditions motor oil loses its original properties faster and requires more frequent replacement than specified by the regulations. When choosing alternative motor oils, consider the presence of tolerances on the container with lubricant, and when handling motor oil, you must adhere to the safety measures described in the car manual.
We continue to service the Mitsubishi Pajero car, with a 3.2 liter diesel engine, manufactured in 2008, on which it will be necessary to change the engine oil, air, saloon and fuel filter.
We raise the car or drive into the inspection hole. We remove the crankcase protection. In front of the pallet is drain plug at 17, unscrew it and substitute a container for used oil under the bottom:
After all the oil has drained, screw the plug back into place. The oil filter is located right side, near the box. We unscrew it using a standard puller:
Be prepared that a certain amount of oil will also pour out of it. We wipe the planting oil. New oil filter we have PMC its number PBA-009, before installation we fill it with new oil, we have it original from Mitsubishi catalog number of a 4 liter canister MZ320757, a 1 liter canister MZ320756. Before installing the filter, lubricate its sealing gum, then twist it by hand.
We lower the car and fill in new oil in our diesel engine. We make a funnel from a plastic bottle:
After filling, we first check the level on the dipstick. In total, we poured 9 liters of new oil. We start the car, let the engine run a little, then turn it off and after 5 minutes we look at the level again, add oil if necessary.
Let's move on to air filter, it is located under the hood in front on the left. We remove the connector with wires, snap off the latches and raise its cover:
We take out the old filter and insert a new one, we have it from PMC, catalog number PAG-036. We put it in place and snap the latches.
We change the cabin filter, for this we open the glove box, on the sides we press the latches that move away from the cordon. We see white cover filter, which is screwed on top with screws for a Phillips screwdriver, from below under a flat one:
Remove the cover along with the old cabin filter, we take a new one from us from ZEKKERT, catalog number IF-3077K. The "K" at the end tells us that it is carbon. We install it in place, the plastic flag marked in red should be on top:
We turn to the replacement of the diesel fuel filter, disconnect the sensor connector located at the bottom of the filter. We substitute the bowl down and unscrew the filter housing, for this we use special pliers, you can choose any other suitable tool.
We have a new fuel filter from PMC, its catalog number is PCF-003, it comes with a rubber ring, it is designed for the sensor, which is located at the bottom of the filter, we immediately change it:
Remove the protective film, screw the sensor. We twist the new filter by hand, but tightly so that there is no air leakage. We dress the sensor connector. There is a special frog on the filter housing for pumping diesel fuel, we press it intensively several times until it stops pushing through. We are trying to start the engine.

Mitsubishi Pajero was first seen in 1976 as a "Beach" car based on the Mitsubishi Jeep. The model loudly declared itself by winning the cross-country race and the Dakar rally for six years in a row. Truly legendary car having already replaced 3 generations, the fourth is produced and sold today.
Any engine, be it Japanese, German or French, needs maintenance. Certainly, scheduled maintenance Pajero is no exception. It must be performed once every 15,000 km, while complete replacement oils and filters.
Refueling volumes and oil selection
According to the regulations diesel cars should be serviced once every 10,000 km, gasoline - 15,000 km.
The original oil is “not a sentence”, other companies can be used, for example:
IDEMITSU Zepro EURO SPEC SN/CF 5W-40;
Mobil Super 3000 X1 DIESEL 5W-40 etc.
The amount of oil depends on the engine size:
