good look man

 

I had my local mitsubishi dealership do it. I'm sure you could find a thread on here that has some guidance for that.

 

Do you remember how many miles you had when you changed the fluid?

 

At that time I believe I was around 45,000 miles. I'm not sure what the service manual recommends off the top of my head.

 

im at 100k and i haven't serviced it yet. yikes

 

The dealership had recommended it it prior to when i had it changed. But i put it off because i did not have the $ for it. They showed me a sample of my fluid compared to new fluid. Mine was past due. As soon as i had it changed , the whine went away. I was beyond happy that it stopped. Good luck. Hopefully this helped you!

 

You will need a CVT transmission fluid change, best take it to the dealer to get that work done. I had that issue and after the second day the whining noise went away haven't heard it since then.

 

I'm the owner of a 2009 Lancer GTS 5 speed and my car makes the same wine but it's all the time RPM 0 to 6000 I'm pretty sure it's the serpentine belt they're wider on GTS 2.4 liter just big enough to make a supercharger type sound

 

MAKE SURE MAKE SURE if you do a transmission oil change, also do the transmission oil filter change. It should cost you $200-300 total... =(

 

The Mitsubishi Lancer... Drives like a low class sedan but cost like a luxury sedan to repair/maintenance.

I don't think I'll ever buy another Mitsubishi. Repairs are giving me headache(pricing & reliability/availability).

 

Did you change your cvt oil at the dealership or did you use an aftermarket brand that is equivalent or better Cvt oil?
