Book your Mitsubishi Pajero oil change

Car dashboard

The Mitsubishi Pajero first hit Australian markets in the 80s and was only recently discontinued. However, it remains an iconic ride that’ll never go out of style.

While the car had plenty of upgrades over time, it’s known as a classic, rugged 4WD. It can take you from the city to off-road without skipping a beat and is made for families of all sizes.

The Pajero is a reliable SUV but ongoing maintenance will keep it running at its best, so regular services and oil changes should be a priority.

These spacious vehicles need premium oil and a new oil filter every few thousand kilometres. Book a service with mycar and we’ll include these and much more. It’s just one of the ways we keep your Pajero moving.

The benefits of a Mitsubishi Pajero oil change

Your Pajero’s engine needs clean oil to run smoothly. Over time, engine oil can get dirty, putting pressure on your engine and other components.

When you book your Mitsubishi oil change with mycar, our experienced team will only use premium oil. And as not all oils are the same, we’ll make sure you have the right one for your car’s transmission and fuel type.

There are a range of benefits that come with fresh oil, which include:

  • Improved fuel efficiency
  • Better lubrication of your car’s components
  • Lower fuel emissions
  • A quieter driving experience

An oil and filter change is included in every mycar service. Or, if your 4WD is running rough you can request a once-off oil change.

How customers feel about our Car Servicing

How much does a Mitsubishi Pajero engine oil change cost

Every mycar service comes with up to 6 litres of premium engine oil and a new oil filter, with the price varying depending on the type of service you choose.

If your Pajero’s a new model, we recommend Logbook Servicing to ensure your car’s warranty is protected. The price of a logbook service can vary depending on how long you’ve had your Pajero and the model, but we’ll always quote you upfront before going ahead with any work. Our logbook service also comes with 12 months free roadside assistance.

There are two other options. The first is an Essential Service which covers all the basics—including engine oil. The price starts at $269.

If you want extras including free roadside assistance and tyre rotations, an Essential Plus Service is excellent value. This starts at $319 and comes with 12 months free roadside assistance.

We also offer Pajero oil changes as a standalone service, but as the frequency of necessary oil changes is roughly the same as recommended service intervals, it makes sense to get it done as part of a package.

How long can a Pajero go between oil changes?

The engine oil for a Mitsubishi Pajero should be changed at least once a year or every 10,000km. More regular changes might be necessary though, as the age of the vehicle, how you drive, and hauling heavy loads all have a bearing on how your oil stands up over time.

And, if there’s damage to the head gasket, piston rings or other components you may notice your oil needs to be changed more often.

What oil does a Mitsubishi Pajero take?

You can expect the engine oil for Pajero diesel to be either synthetic or semi-synthetic. Premium, high-quality oil will always last longer.

That said, the exact Mitsubishi Pajero oil type depends on the year of your vehicle and whether it runs on petrol or diesel. You can find the exact specifications in the user manual.

When you book your Pajero for a mycar oil change, we always use premium oil that matches the needs of your vehicle.
