    Mitsubishi Lancer 2008: CVT servicing

    Mitsubishi Mitsubishi Advice Mitsubishi Lancer Mitsubishi Lancer Advice Mitsubishi Lancer 2008

    I have a 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer ES which is due for its 90,000km service, although it has only done 60,000km. I have been quoted more than $900 from the dealer, mainly due to the cost of servicing the constantly variable transmission for the first time. An independent mechanic has quoted $600 for the same logbook service, which includes using Mitsubishi-specified CVT fluid and coolant. For a car this age do you think it is worth spending the extra money on the full logbook service? Or should I get the service done but use non-specified fluids and coolant, which will save some more money?

    You should never cut corners on servicing. Using an independent mechanic, with the correct lubricants, seems a good way to save money.
