If you want to be sure write to Nulon and ask if they will guarantee the "Full Synthetic Multi Vehicle Automatic Transmission Fluid" in the Mitsubishi NT auto for warranty purposes.

If they say anything other than YES then it is not an exact replacement eg if they say suitable after the warranty period I would be skeptical.

**rykiel575** · 03-11-18, 11:15 AM

There is also a penrite fully synthetic at fluid that others have been using.

**benckj** · 03-11-18, 02:10 PM

The Penrite FS is suitable for SPII replacement which is used in the NS trans. I think the gen 4 trans requires a different spec. Might pay to flick them an email all the same and see what they come back with. From my experience the Penrite people are very helpful.

the penrite one is

It is an advanced formulation automatic transmission fluid designed for optimum performance and outstanding high temperature resistance and it provides 2.5 x times the smooth shift durability over the life of the fluid compared to the industry standard anti shudder test. Application ATF Multivehicle LV is suitable for long drain use in 4, 5 6 + speed automatic transmissions in passenger cars, 4WD's and light duty commercial vehicles. ATF LV is particularly suitable for use in GM Hydra-Matic transmissions, requiring GM DEXRON®-Vl from MY 2006 onwards, such as Holden VE/VF Series as well as in late model Ford transmissions requiring Ford MERCON®-LV, as used in Ford Kuga petrol 1.6 4WD, Territory SZ diesels and Ford Ranger PX models. It can also be used in Toyota/Lexus vehicles that specify Type WS fluids, Kia/Hyundai/Mitsubishi vehicles requiring SP-IV and in other applications where low viscosity fluids are required. These include in some Nissan, Honda and BMW models. ATF LV is backwards compatible with all previous GM DEXRON® recommendations. It can be used to top up systems that require older specification automatic transmission fluids such as DEXRON®-III, MERCON®, JWS 3309 (Type T-IV), LT 71141, Chrysler ATF +4 and many others. It is also suitable for power steering systems requiring automatic transmission fluid as well as rotary vane and screw type compressors and hydraulic systems requiring an ISO 32 oil. Note: ATF LV Replaces ATF DX Vl Not for use in 6 and 8 speed ZF transmissions or 7 speed Mercedes Benz transmissions Please refer to Penrite Recommendation Guide for the correct applications A 58mm cap with pouring tap is available to fit 20 litre packs. https://penriteoil.com.au/products/58mm-plastic-tap

says its compatible with the mitsubishi / dia queen PA spec.

Just to clarify benckj the NS is a gen 4 too but they changed the auto box in the NT onwards.

**Stacho** · 05-11-18, 07:51 PM

Penrite multi vehicle low viscosity is going for $202 from SCA with free delivery. Same stuff as the Nulon. Not sure about standing by it in the warranty period though worth the question.

Penrith ATF

I’ve used Penrite ATF for years with no issues at all, firstly in my NP Paj (ATF MHP from memory) and latterly in the NT Paj used ATF LV FS.

Ive never had a problem with the auto using penrite fluids. Also I’m a great believer in the old taxi procedure of partial txmsn oil changes in line with engine oil changes. Every second oil change drain about 4 litres out of the txmsn and replace with same amount of fresh oil, doesn’t cost much and I believe keeps the tranny happy. Bloody autocorrect!

**miniyazz** · 21-03-19, 10:53 PM

Just to revive this thread - I found this on the Repco website which states it is suitable for MM SP2/3 & MM PA; it is a semi-synth multivehicle ATF: https://www.repco.com.au/en/brands/p...-4l/p/A9307306

Not a bad price at $40.59 for 4L or about $140 for 20L.

I'm still looking for other options but this does seem a suitable fluid, no?

**rykiel575** · 22-03-19, 12:57 AM

When i flushed my tranny i used castrol mecron LV.
If you are sydney based i know a place to get it at 55ish per 4L

I went with the Penrite ATF FS at the time as the specs indicated it was equivalent to ATF-PA (List in the owners manual). Has done well for me.

Castrol too

https://msdspds.castrol.com/bpglis/FusionPDS.nsf/Files/B023BDCAF94CBC148025827C001DF226/$File/BPXE-AYKDN8.pdf

If Castrol wasn't available i would have gone with penrite so as long as it meets LV/PA should be good.

The penrite isalso quite a bit cheaper.

**Rado** · 13-05-19, 11:24 PM

I've had the ATF fluid changed, it seems it is available in Australia http://www.ravenol.com.au/product.php?code=1211126

**Scooby** · 09-10-19, 11:37 AM

I am about to do an auto trans oil service, flush soon.
Any negatives to any of the oils mentioned here?
Castrol, Nulon, Penrite.
All available easily.
Vehicle used to tow horse float, so upto 3t.
Was going to use MM oil but $550 for 20l is a bit steep.
Previous had a NM so am very careful about oil selection in autos these days.
Any feed back would be good.
How many km’s, what type of use ie towing, 4wding etc,
Oil change intervals.
