Mitsubishi minicab 2013 660cc 4wd, transmission oil help needed

[whoami_amiu]

Hey guys Asalam Alekum!
Just bought Mitsubishi Minicab 13 model with 4 WD.
Need assistance for changing my engine oil and transmission oil. The mileage odo is 114k+
I've bought zic 20-50 for the engine 3L
But I'm stuck for the transmission oil, which one is cheap and reliable, and if I should get it changed or not? Need urgent help guys, any reliable and affordable mechanic and oil shop in Karachi?
Most oil shops only have the zic ATF 3 available not the CVT one

For engine oil its recommended that you use 5W30 or max 10W30... DO NOT EVER USE 20W50 in this engine.
For gear oil ZIC ATF3 should be good to go or AISIN AFW+. And no its not CVT Transmission considering its 4WD.

But bro the mileage is above 114k.
And what about the heat in Karachi? Shouldn't 20-50 be better for it?

Plus please confirm if the transmission is CVT or not? I thought it's CVT

Mitsubishi Minicab

check the transmission code written on id plate under Trans/Axle search google for transmission oil required. 2wd use cvt oil, not sure for 4 wd

Engine TRANS/AXLE is 3G83 and V4A12.. . EXT is A31A
What does this denote? Please help

A31A

3G83 is engine
V4A12 (R4A12 is for mini Pajero) both are same transmission & it will take ATF however remove transmission dip stick and read any data punched on it or a sticker around the puller clip.

[whoami_amiu]

The dip stick only has LOW and HIGH encrypted on the lowest points. Nothing else

[capsat]

R4A12

Locate ATF fluid complying to ATF SP-II / SP III ( AISIN / MOBIL / TOYOTA )

[whoami_amiu]

The mechanic recommended zic ATF 3. Used up 2 bottles of 1 litre transmission oils. The shifting and sound has improved a lot.
1 last question: the brake fluid is too low, can I use dot 3 for it? The vehicle's brake fluid cap says dot 4. Can dot 3 also be used in it as I have a full bottle of dot 3

[capsat]

DOT 4 can handle more heat as in Temperatures means it has higher boiling point then DOT 3. Please goahead and top up with DOT 3 it will do no harm. Read this

Awesome Article you suggested! Tons of info that really helped in understanding the REAL stuff behind our ABS brakes. This is why my ex-Passo felt heavy on brakes when the engine was off, the ABS check light came on when the service-wala bhai put some pressure water under the tyres!

Can someone translate this door-sticker written in Japanese, from my Mitsubishi Minicab 4WD 660cc? I believe it informs about car maintenance and other stuff

If sp2 or sp3. Was required you should have poured sp2 or sp3. There is a lot of difference between sp levels and atf.

Mobil oil

Sir main to Havoline use kar raha hu shuru se jab se Pakistan ayi hai gaardi, Alhamdulillah no issues
ZIC aur Havoline may original oils jitne hain sab ache hain
Grade ya to 20w-40 hoga ya 20w-50
Koshish karke Semi-synthetic ya Synthetic use karein that oil has good viscosity as per these 660cc engines and our city conditions

[younusumair352]

Nahi hai.
Kis trha ka hota h???

[umairafzalrana]

It says about use of 4WD and 2WD.
Its says never use 4WD on paved smooth roads.
This will increase petrol consumption.
