How to change transmission fluid and filter Mitsubishi Montero gen 2.5

[@kmx509]

You have a very rare, optioned Montero. The front bumper on your Montero (We had it on ours) Was a factory catalog Mitsubishi part that you could buy from Mitsubishi. Very rare to see them with the bumpers.

That Aisin SP3 Trans fluid is Castrol Dex 3 mate, so Castrol is also good. We use Castrol here in Australia.

I need a copy of that manual. Do you know where I could get one? Excellent Vid!

[@Deathless2288]

Hey man, you should really make some more Montero DIY videos! Good work!

Thanks in about a week I'm starting a series on a full engine tune up for my gen 1

[@judassss]

Bro! Thanks so much! Saving me hard cash money not having to take my old beast to a mechanic and just change the fluid myself

[@owen_03montero]

Anytime 🤘🏼

Thanks bro!. U are incredible! 👌👏🙌

Great video as always Owen. I'm about to change my Gen 2.5 trans mount this weekend. Since I am not changing the filter I thought I would support the transmission with a 2x4 and floor jack spreading the load across the pan. I can't really see in the video where you have the transmission supported with the jack while the mount is off. I'm looking in the FSM as well. . Where in the video is a good shot of the where the jack pad is supporting the transmission?

[@owen_03montero]

At the back of the transmission/tcase there is a little spot where you can support it with a jack. Hard to miss it it’s a square spot I believe

I'm looking to get a Montero. How where can I get my hands on a service manual?

[@white_dodge]

how much transmission fluid do you add and does universal type work if i cant get any sp3 or sp2

[@premaratne247]

Nice video.I have a 2001 montero xls and have a question. I recently changed the power steering fluid with "Prestone Power Steering Fluid Plus Stop Leak". I also saw online that some owners use "Valvoline MaxLife Multi-Vehicle Full Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid ". Do need to change the P/S fluid again or keep the one that I already used? Thanks.

[@scaraus1]

Good resource for trans mount change, however trans fluid was only half changed, may want to unplug the front radiator hoses after that to pump out the second half.

[@owen_03montero]

I did several drain and fills. Don’t want to shock the transmission with all new fluid

[@scaraus1]

@@owen_03montero ok, so it's fair to be reflected in your clip description , otherwise it's kind of misleading. And btw filter should be changed only at the end of partial cycled change , otherwise all the dirt will get back into the new one.

My 2000 Monty sport is doing neutral dropout so I'm hoping this will help it . Got 215,000 miles on it .

Awesome tutorial video bro!

Hey Owen! You got the same car as me mate! Aren't they great? Have you got 33" tyres? Did you need to do a body lift or suspension upgrade to get them on? How does she run with bigger tyres?

[@owen_03montero]

I run 265/75r16 which is a little under 32” Just suspension lift it drives well

I'm about to do a fluid and filter change on mine, can you send a pic of what part you put the floor jack under to secure before loosening trans brace? Contact me plz

Sure message me on instagram @owen_03montero

thanks dude

[@criscarr4302]

Hi Owen, I have a problem with the idle in my montero 1993 and the Rp are over 2000 any advise

[@owen_03montero]

Check for air leaks, check iac valve, not sure if your car has fiav but check that and delete it

[@robertbarron7995]

Only found aisin sp4 on rock auto is that what you used

[@owen_03montero]

No, aisin sp3 is really hard to find right now. If you can't find any use genuine mitsubishi fluid

[@keaaul808]

Great video! Another very stupid design by engineers hating mechanics!! Remove x-member just to change filter??? Some just as bad pan designs don’t even include drain plugs!!!🙄

[@marcozecca2930]

After the transmission fluid change, did you transmission slip or it keep working as usual before the fluid change? Please advice

[@owen_03montero]

Works fine

[@marcozecca2930]

Thanks, most comments after changing the Montero's transmission fluid mention slippery transmission problems. It happened one to me, but after driven for a week it got working fine.

[@owen_03montero]

@@marcozecca2930 maybe wrong fluid?

[@marcozecca2930]

@@owen_03montero Agreed

[@impactballoons4895]

How many miles on it and when was the last service? If it’s at 400k and never been serviced, the transmission may be relying on the abrasive content suspended in the fluid. With an old unloved transmission, it can be better to leave well enough alone.

[@GerryMetrillo]

Where did u get ur service manual bro?

[@owen_03montero]

I found someone selling them

[@owen_03montero]

Kinda hard to find

[@GerryMetrillo]

Ok thanks
