Mitsubishi Periodic Maintenance Service Menu

**roydok** · April 6th, 2003 09:51 PM

Mitsubishi Periodic Service Maintenance Menu:

The Periodic Service Menu serves as your guide for your Mitsubishi vehicle maintenance schedule. It indicates the type of service classification that will be done on your vehicle at certain kilometer readings.

It is highly recommended that you bring your Mitsubishi vehicle to authorized service dealers for a periodic maintenance check up. Mitsubishi vehicle warranty is up to 50,000 kilometers for passenger cars/AUVs and 20,000 kilometers for Light Commercial Vehicles (LCVs). Complying with the regular periodic check up is more economical in the long run as it prevents early breakdown, thereby extending the life of your vehicle.

to follow or to follow the PMs skeds/instructions show how you care for car.

**roydok** · April 7th, 2003 02:14 PM

Ako I follow the PMS sched strictly with our vehicles. Medyo mahal lang nga pero it's preventive maintenance. Di naman kailangang sa casa ito gawin dahil it can be done outside. At least it's a guide for what must be maintained. In the long run doing the PMS prevents high repair costs and time. :D

Hello sir roydok, one of our club member in the strada club posted this 1000 Km PMS, as follows:

Here is the breakdown:

2 gals. ML109777 YE engine oil..…………..1,240.00
1 lt. ML109770 YE engine oil………………....160.00
6 lts. SPIRA.LFO differential oil………….....1,200.00
6 lts. SPIRAXG.LFO transmission oil……...1,140.00
1 pc. ME013307 WO oil filter…………….. ..2,110.00

It seemed strange to me that the differential and transmission oils were changed since the unit is still new. Sabi daw ng service advisor kailangan palitan na.

.

The transmission differential fluids were changed at....1000 km!!! Tsk, tsk, tsk. It seems like some money-making scheme is being adopted by a mitsubishi service center. Parang hindi ata tama ito.

Any comments, sir?

BTW, he is based in Baguio City.

Up ko lang for FYI purposes, dapat hindi muna palitan Diff and Tranny oil at 1,000 kms since hindi naman fine masyado clearnace ng mga moving parts. Kaya na nang magnets makuha yung ig parts and unless nabaha ka at na-contaminate yun, sayang pera.

**kutangbato** · June 30th, 2011 11:33 AM

i think bro its money-making scheme talaga un motorplaza na yan. at 1k pms pinapaltan agad un transmission at differential oils. engine oil at filter lang ang dapat pinaltan dito.

Grabe naman tong motorplaza!
