Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X (USA / CAN)

Manual transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X (USA / CAN) manual transmission fluid capacity ranges from 2,5 to 7,6 liters. Service intervals include checking at 15000 miles or 15 to 30 months and changing at 15000 to 60000 miles or 15 to 120 months. The data covers 4 configurations.

Additional Notes

  • The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X (USA/CAN) manual transaxle specifications list two distinct fluid capacities: 2.5 liters and 7.6 liters, indicating separate fill volumes associated with different transaxle configurations or service procedures.
  • The 7.6-liter capacity is notably larger than the 2.5-liter figure, a difference that typically reflects a full overhaul or drain-and-refill of a larger assembly versus a partial service fill on a smaller or secondary unit.
  • Under normal use conditions, the 2.5-liter transaxle carries a fluid check interval of every 15,000 miles or 30 months, with a change interval set at 30,000 miles or 60 months.
  • Under severe use conditions, the 2.5-liter transaxle drops to a change interval of 15,000 miles or 15 months, with no separate check interval listed, meaning the change itself serves as the primary service action at that frequency.
  • The 7.6-liter transaxle under normal use has a significantly extended change interval of 60,000 miles or 120 months, which at ten years represents one of the longer fluid service cycles in the specification set.
  • Even under normal use, the 7.6-liter transaxle requires a fluid check every 15,000 miles or 30 months, keeping inspection frequency consistent with the 2.5-liter unit despite the much longer change interval.
  • Under severe use, the 7.6-liter transaxle change interval is reduced to 30,000 miles or 30 months, and a check interval of 15,000 miles or 15 months is also specified, making severe-use service for the larger capacity more involved than for the smaller one.
  • The 2008-2016 model year span applies uniformly across all four rows, meaning no variation in capacity or interval specifications is indicated between earlier and later production years within that range.
