I did a atf service on my 2016 Mitsubishi l200(same as Triton) with v5awf transmission, it needs atf fluid that meets the Mitsubishi ATF-PA specification.
After some research and previous good experience with valvoline(engine oil) i decided to use the Valvoline Hybrid ATF, pr the valvoline lubricants advisor for my car.
Oil spec:
First I was very happy because the shifts were more soft, but now when the weather is colder I have experienced the engine rpm to jump slightly between gears...
It also need high rpm to change from 3 to 4 when cold in auto mode.
The oil level is perfect.
I just question if the oil really is suitable?
Like how can it meet so many specifications?.
Most other brands have a different oil for these newer specs(lower viscosity?) oil like the ATF-PA, and another oil for older specification like the SP-III and so on.
Im not sure if its the oil as the old oil was very dark, but i would love some feedback if i should try another brand or type of oil.
