Additional Notes

  • All six configurations listed use a hydraulic clutch system, meaning clutch actuation is fluid-operated rather than cable-driven. In hydraulic systems, the fluid level is maintained within a reservoir marked with minimum and maximum indicators, and all configurations here specify filling to between those two marks rather than to a fixed volume.
  • The Mitsubishi Pajero / Shogun 3.2 DI-D and 3.2 DI-D DPF variants covering 2007-2010 carry a change interval of 24 months rather than a distance-based or combined check interval. A time-only interval reflects the tendency of brake and clutch fluids to absorb moisture over time regardless of mileage, which lowers the fluid's boiling point.
  • The same 3.2 DI-D and 3.2 DI-D DPF engines in the 2009-2015 range shift to a check interval of every 20,000 km or 12 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first. This dual-trigger format means high-mileage vehicles reach the service point by distance, while low-mileage vehicles reach it by calendar time.
  • The 3.0 V6 (2011-2017) and 3.8 V6 (2007-2017) petrol variants both specify the 20,000 km or 12-month check interval under normal use conditions, aligning with the later diesel configurations rather than the earlier 24-month change-only schedule.
  • The 3.8 V6 spans the widest model year range of any configuration listed, covering 2007-2017, yet shares the same check interval and fill specification as the narrower-range 3.0 V6 and the later diesel variants.
  • The overlap in model years between the 3.2 DI-D (2007-2010) and 3.2 DI-D (2009-2015) entries means that 2009 and 2010 model year vehicles of the same engine type appear under two separate specification rows, each with a different service interval. The 2007-2010 row specifies a 24-month fluid change, while the 2009-2015 row specifies a 20,000 km or 12-month check. The same overlap applies to the DPF-equipped variants of those same years.
