Parts for your 2017 Mitsubishi Asx-Oil seals

2017 Mitsubishi ASX oil seals: what they do and when to sort them out

Oil seals are absolutely used on the 2017 Mitsubishi ASX. This is confirmed by Mitsubishi Motors’ factory Service Manual for the 2017 ASX/RVR/Outlander Sport (Engine Overhaul and CVT/Transaxle sections) and the Mitsubishi ASA electronic parts catalogue for GA-series ASX models, which list crankshaft, camshaft and transaxle/axle oil seals among the genuine parts.

On this ASX, oil seals keep engine oil and transmission/CVT fluid where they belong, while keeping dust and water out. They sit around rotating shafts and housings and rely on precise fitment and the right fluid to seal properly. When they leak, the result can be messy driveways, oil odours on hot components, and—left too long—low fluid levels that shorten engine or transmission life.

• Engine: front crankshaft seal (behind the crank pulley), rear main seal (between engine and gearbox), and camshaft end seals.
• CVT/Transaxle: left/right driveshaft (axle) oil seals
