The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Outlander's engine to its wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It's one of the most complex systems in your Outlander and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. Care for your 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander to maintain its performance power. Follow Mitsubishi's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
