Balance coupler removed

So after a noisy rattle and research on here, I got my chain done. The rattle persisted so today I did the coupler removal. Plenty of wear on it. Thanks for all on here for advice. Just waiting for the RTV to set to see how my first go at sealing a sump went. Had to get the helicoil kit out for one of the sump bolt threads though!

What’s the highest you have gotten on one tank?

So I recently got a 2024 PHEV in Calgary AB in October 2025. First month while the temps were in the positive I got 2400 km on 1 tank of gas by charging daily. I work 25 kms away from home and have the ability to charge there as well. It resets each time you refuel automatically which I think is a great feature.

This is the most recent fill up which was well over a month ago. I still have approx 90kms still left in fuel and still going daily to work on electric and back. Did one long drive as well of 2 hours each way in this same tank.

I usually don’t use the AC unless I most necessarily have to as this time of the year it’s still nice and cool 15 to 18 degrees in the day and evening is usually around 7 or 8.

I don’t turn on ECO mode also just drive in regular just being mindful of my acceleration. Considering the gas prices I have already saved 1.88 per litre * 2500kms considering if I have done 450kms already on gas and have 90kms left.

What about the rest here? How many kms have you been able to get out of your outlander PHEV?

Help! Need a torque value

Taking my balance coupler out, I had to take this bit of frame out to get to some of the sump bolts. Does anyone know the torque for these other than FT?

Whats your best and worse economy?

So i drove for like 2 mins from 1 parking to another and 30l/100kms is the craziest I've got.

6.3 being my best on a 2025 Outlander gas.

2024 Outlander FWD and snow

Used to live in NY where we got snow and always had AWD. Moved to Texas a few years ago and got a FWD Outlander because AWD seemed unnecessary here. Well now my husbands job is sending us up to Indiana for at least the next 8 months, right off of the lake and I'm wondering if my FWD Outlander with snow tires will be okay in the snow or if I should look into trading it in for an AWD again. We will be traveling much more for his job from here on out, so there is now the potential to be in a snowy area for some duration of time every year.

Just got my ‘24 Outlander SEL yesterday-a question on the windshield washer fluid coming out…

Hi all! Just got a new ‘24 Mitsubishi Outlander SEL yesterday and am already super impressed with it! One thing I noticed… the windshield washer fluid comes out very weak when you turn it on. My husband thought perhaps that is by design but I wanted to ask this group on their experience with it. Thanks in advance :)

2026 Sel premium package

Hi guys! I currently own a 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander GT which has been great to me , I have no mechanical issues but after 10 years I feel like I need a new Mitsubishi. Just out of curiosity, how much have y'all paid OTD for either the SEL Premium Package FWD or AWD? I know incentive changes by dealership but at least to get a ballpark for OTD, any advice is welcome!

Aftermarket remote starter for Outlander 2025? Which one do you use and why?

Hi guys,
I have a Mitsubishi Outlander 2025 GT and was wondering which remote starter is the best suited for -

  1. I want to start my car with heater on for winters or AC on for summers.

  2. I don't need advance features if they cost too much like door open update or live tracking etc.. if they are included, great.

  3. Turning on the car from a distance specially if I live in an apartment and the parking is on the opposite side and no direct sight to use the key. ( This is optional because I understand only tools with phone apps can do this and they may not be accurate )

I checked Mycar 2 but the reviews were horrible.
I also saw Start-X but couldn't find one for my model.

What brand would you recommend to install in Canada or US and what does that cost?

Thoughts on 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport 2.0 ES with a manual transmission

I'm about to pull the trigger on a 100K unit for about $10K. Service history is impeccable. The transmission fluid was changed at 90K miles, Clutch master cylinder, drive belt(s) and serpentine belt were replaced by the selling dealer. They also replaced the clutch and all the brake pads.

What do you think? I only need a reliable commuter. Don't care about the speed or comfort. The other car I'm considering is a 2014 Camry Hybrid with 82K miles for $15K with again great service history. Thanks.

Can I take the PHEV system out of the car?

Okay my battery on a 2018 outlander has 30km of range left.

Which is enough for daily trips.

However, if the range eventually becomes less than 5km and I wanna take out the battery. Is this possible? Rather than replacing the whole battery?

If I can take it out then at least I can reduce the weight due to not needing a generator or dead battery as dead weight.

Real world fuel economy

To those with the 2.5 4 banger in the 22 - 25 outlanders and 1.5T mild hybrid in the 26s what MPG are you all getting??? Is anyone getting high 30s on the highway?

Also what kinda range do you get on a full tank? Is 400+ miles of range possible?

Update: 3 (4) mechanics, 7 (8) visits, replaced bearing, pads, rotors, calipers and verified emergency break. Noise persist. General

Update*

So the noise persist. I decided to diagnose the car myself after watching 700 YouTube videos and reading 1000 comments. I think is a seized caliper. What's crazy is how 4 mechanics could not diagnose it. Maybe I'm wrong but what you guy's think? Stuck caliper? Need to be replaced?

Make/Model/Year:

Mitsubishi Outlander Sport 2013

Hello, this noise is driving me nuts, the mechanics has discarded rotors, bearings, pads , calipers and emergency break. Any ideas what can be? Only sound when driving forward, stops when I break and/or after a while driving. All parts changed are OEM. When parts were changed car works fine without noise for 2-3 days, then it comes back again. Noise comes form the right side (passenger).

Does anyone have a new outlander with the new 1.5t engine????

If so how has it been ??? I know it’s a brand new engine and I’m outlander shopping right now , I’d be hesitant to buy a new car with a new engine, I’d be worried about first year problems.

Just wanted to see how it’s performed so far for people , I really like the outlander

2005 Outlander transfer case

Anyone familiar with the 03-06 AWD transfer case. Seems to have ATF in part and gear oil in another part. What should come out when you pull the driveshaft??? Anyone know where to get an exploded view that shows all the seals that separates to oils??
