Can I use ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) in my vehicle that is equipped with a CVT?

The CVT requires a specially formulated CVT Fluid: Dia Queen J1 CVTF. Other fluids should not be used with the CVT because the Dia Queen J1 has been formulated to work as an integral component in the transmission. Other fluids will affect the CVT's operation and may void the warranty of the transmission. This special fluid allows the constant velocity drive belt in the transmission to work without the friction that would quickly destroy the belt should normal AFT be used in the transmission. Check with your local Authorized Mitsubishi Dealer if you have any further questions.
