How does Mitsubishi drivetrain maintenance help save money?

Yes, sometimes it can. First, servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. It can also somewhat reduce tire wear.

How do I know if my Mitsubishi drivetrain is damaged?

Noises toward the back of your Mitsubishi Lancer, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.

How often will I need Mitsubishi Lancer differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. We generally recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

What causes a Lancer’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your Lancer can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.

Is it possible to reset the Lancer malfunction warning light on my own?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your Lancer's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your Lancer.

Is a drivetrain malfunction in my Lancer serious?

If your Lancer has a drivetrain malfunction, don't wait. Get it checked out by a professional mechanic. Identifying the underlying cause and performing the appropriate repairs right away can help prevent further damage and avoid unsafe driving conditions.

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my Lancer?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your Lancer’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your Lancer forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.

When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2017 Mitsubishi Lancer, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Mitsubishi's recommendations.
