How much is a Mitsubishi PMS in the Philippines?

MMPC publishes the schedule, not prices. PH price guides put a light casa PMS at roughly ₱5,000–₱7,500 for a Mirage or Xpander and ₱8,000–₱12,000 for a Montero Sport, Triton or L300; heavy stops run ₱10,000–₱16,000+ gasoline and ₱15,000–₱29,000+ diesel. A talyer is 30–50% less. Estimates, not quotes.

Is the Montero Sport expensive to maintain?

More than a gasoline Mitsubishi, per visit. The 4N15 diesel takes around 6.5 L of low-ash oil, a fuel filter every 15,000–20,000 km and SIQL at the dealer. PH guides put a light casa PMS at ₱8,000–₱12,000 and heavy stops at ₱18,000–₱28,000+. The 25MY sheet halves the visits.

How often is the PMS on a Mitsubishi diesel?

It depends on the checksheet year. Montero Sport 24MY and older, and the L300: every 5,000 km or 4 months on mineral oil, 10,000 km or 8 months on fully synthetic. Montero Sport 25MY and Triton: every 10,000 km or 6 months. Fuel filter at 15,000 km (older) or 20,000 km (newer).

Do Mitsubishi engines use a timing belt or chain?

No current MMPC checksheet schedules a belt change for these models. The Xpander's 4A91 is chain-driven, and parts listings show a chain on the Mirage's 3A92. The checksheet template keeps a 70,000-km belt line marked "except for models with timing chain", which is where the confusion starts; confirm your engine with the dealer.

Does the L300 have a DPF?

Not on MMPC's spec sheet. The L300's 4N14 2.2L diesel is listed as Euro 4, and no particulate filter appears on its spec page or checksheet. In the current lineup only the Triton Athlete 4WD AT, the Euro 5B variant, is listed with a particulate filter, and it needs Euro 5 diesel. MMPC's Montero Sport page does not mention a DPF.

Was the L300 recalled in the Philippines?

Yes. In October 2024 MMPC announced a recall on 411 model-year 2024 L300 units for a hard gear shift when the transmission was not filled with oil. Dealers inspect and either replace the transmission, propeller shaft and snap pin or tighten the filler plug with a new gasket, free. MMPC Customer Care: (+632) 250-8888.

Mitsubishi Maintenance Cost in the Philippines: PMS Prices, Diesel vs Gasoline, and What Moves the Bill

Mitsubishi Motors Philippines sold 86,808 vehicles in 2025, second in CAMPI's count, and nearly all of them fall into two camps. Gasoline: Mirage and Mirage G4, Xpander and Xpander Cross, Xforce, Destinator, Outlander PHEV. Diesel: Montero Sport, Triton, L300, Versa Van. Which camp your unit sits in decides more of your Mitsubishi maintenance cost in the Philippines than the badge does: the diesels take more oil in a pricier grade, a fuel filter on a fixed schedule, and an injection-learning routine (SIQL) that needs the dealer's tool.

Model year is the other lever. MMPC rewrote its checksheets for the newer models, and the same Montero Sport went from an oil change every 5,000 km on mineral oil (24MY sheet) to every 10,000 km (25MY). Same engine, half the visits.

MMPC publishes the schedule, not a price list, so every peso figure here is an estimate range from PH price guides, retail parts listings and what owners report paying. Not a quote.

The short version

Seven things set the bill:

Model year sets the interval — older sheets (Montero Sport 24MY and earlier, Mirage, L300, Xpander): oil every 5,000 km or 4 months on mineral. Newer sheets (Montero Sport 25MY, Triton, Xforce, Destinator): every 10,000 km or 6 months.
Diesel costs more per visit — more oil in a low-ash spec, a scheduled fuel filter, SIQL (a dealer-tool job most talyers cannot do) and a scheduled EGR check.
Which automatic you have — Xpander 4AT fluid at 60,000 km; Xforce and Destinator CVT at 40,000 km; Montero Sport 25MY and Triton ATF at 100,000 km.
A free fourth warranty year, with a condition — MMPC adds a year on engine, transmission and differential after the 3-year warranty, only with every scheduled PMS on record. One miss and it is gone.
"Free PMS" covers a list, not the car — promo packages name specific filters, one oil and labor at set intervals. Pads, batteries and transmission fluid are typically not on the list.
Aircon in this heat — a cabin filter is the cheapest fix, a compressor the most expensive. Widest cost spread on the car.
Two MMPC-published recalls — the Xpander fuel pump (December 2019) and the L300 MY2024 transmission (October 2024). Both free.

Each is broken down below.

What a Mitsubishi PMS costs in the Philippines

Intervals come from MMPC's Periodic Maintenance Service Guide checksheets (ver. 083024 for most models, 022426 for the Xforce), km or months, whichever comes first. The peso column is not MMPC's: PH price guides plus owner reports, all of it estimate.

Interval	Typical work	Rough cost
1,000 km / 1 mo	First service: oil and filter, radiator cap, inspections	PH guides: ₱2,000–₱4,000 Mirage or Xpander, ₱3,000–₱5,000 Montero Sport; one L300 owner reported roughly ₱5,500–₱6,000 at a dealer, with gearbox and differential oil on the same bill
Every 5,000 km / 4 mo mineral or 10,000 km / 8 mo synthetic (older sheets); 10,000 km / 6 mo (newer sheets)	Oil and filter, battery test, cabin filter clean, inspections: gasoline (Mirage, Xpander class)	Talyer oil change from roughly ₱2,500; casa oil-and-inspection visit ₱3,500–₱7,000 per PH guides
Same rhythm	Oil and filter, inspections: diesel (Montero Sport, Triton, L300 class)	PH guides: ₱8,000–₱12,000 casa; a talyer roughly 30–50% less for the same work
Every 15,000 km / 12 mo (older) or 20,000 km / 12 mo (newer)	Diesel fuel filter and SIQL; cabin filter; standard plugs on older-sheet gasoline models; brake and tire inspection (every 10,000 km on newer sheets)	Gasoline ₱5,000–₱7,500 casa per PH guides. Diesel ₱8,000–₱12,000 plus the filter: aftermarket ₱300–₱1,000, genuine more
40,000–80,000 km (heavy stops)	Air cleaner, brake and clutch fluid, gasoline fuel filter, coolant, gear oils as scheduled	PH guides: ₱10,000–₱15,000+ Mirage class; ₱10,000–₱16,000+ Xpander class; ₱18,000–₱28,000+ Montero Sport; ₱15,000–₱29,000+ Triton and L300 class
CVT 40,000 km / 24 mo (Xforce, Destinator); ATF 60,000 km / 48 mo (Xpander); ATF 100,000 km (Montero Sport 25MY, Triton)	Transmission fluid	No published package price — have it quoted.
When a diesel needs it	DPF service (Triton Athlete only), injector work	No published package price — have it quoted with the parts-and-labor split
Roughly every 2–3 years	Battery	₱4,500–₱7,500 Mirage or Xpander; ₱7,000–₱13,000 for the larger group a diesel SUV, pickup or L300 typically takes (N70-class), by brand line
When inspection finds wear	Front brake pads, parts only	Budget aftermarket front sets from roughly ₱450–₱550 (Mirage, Xpander) and ₱2,000–₱2,500 (Montero Sport) on PH parts sites; typical retail ₱900–₱1,500 per piece, genuine sets higher, labor on top

Watch the months column. Four months of Metro Manila idling ages mineral oil whether or not the odometer moved; an L300 parked between contracts is the classic case.

What moves the bill

Model year sets the interval

Two Montero Sports, same 4N15, same 8-speed automatic, one model year apart. The 24MY-and-older sheet: oil every 5,000 km or 4 months on mineral (10,000 km or 8 months on fully synthetic), diesel fuel filter every 15,000 km, ATF every 60,000 km or 48 months. The 25MY sheet: oil every 10,000 km or 6 months, fuel filter at 20,000 km, ATF at 100,000 km. Same hardware, roughly half the visits. The Triton, Xforce and Destinator launched on the newer template; the Mirage, L300 and Xpander stay on the older one.

Mineral or fully synthetic

On the older sheets your oil choice sets the visit count. CarCarePH's 2026 guide puts an oil change with filter and labor at roughly ₱500–₱1,500 mineral and ₱1,500–₱4,000 full synthetic; the synthetic visit costs more and happens half as often. A free-PMS package that specifies mineral oil holds you to the 5,000-km rhythm while it runs.

The free year one missed PMS can cost you

MMPC's standard warranty runs 3 years (the km cap is in your booklet). Its Warranty Extension Program, announced in January 2019, adds one year on the engine, transmission and differential assemblies, free, if every scheduled PMS was done; a single miss disqualifies the unit. Present the booklet to an authorized dealer within two months of the 3-year warranty ending and the dealer inspects and issues a certificate. Trucks, buses and the Mirage and Mirage G4 (which carry 5 years) are excluded. Confirm with the dealer that the program still applies to your unit's purchase year; one skipped PMS can forfeit a free year on the three most expensive assemblies in the car.

Diesel: why a Montero Sport, Triton or L300 costs more per visit

The 4N15 (Montero Sport), 4N16 (Triton) and 4N14 (L300) are common-rail turbo diesels, and four things set them apart from the gasoline sheets.

More oil, in a low-ash diesel spec; guides put the 4N15 fill around 6.5 L with the filter. A fuel filter replaced every 15,000 km or 12 months on the older sheets, 20,000 km or 12 months on the Montero Sport 25MY and Triton. Then two dealer-tool items: SIQL, the small injection quantity learning, every 15,000–20,000 km, and an EGR check every 20,000 km (newer sheets) or a PCV-and-EGR inspection every 30,000 km (older).

A DPF applies to exactly one current model: the Triton Athlete 4WD AT, on the two-stage-turbo Euro 5B 4N16, which needs Euro 5 diesel. The other Tritons and the L300 are Euro 4, and MMPC's Montero Sport page lists Euro 4 without mentioning a DPF. A DPF regenerates under sustained running; a Triton Athlete doing only short Metro Manila hops is the pattern to avoid.

What to do: never skip the fuel filter on a common-rail engine, whatever a shop says about it still looking clean. Injector and pump damage is the expensive failure; the filter is cheap insurance.
Rough cost: PH guides: light diesel PMS ₱8,000–₱12,000 casa; heavy stops ₱15,000–₱29,000+. No PH price is grounded for DPF cleaning or injector work; have either quoted.

Transmissions: 4AT, CVT, 6AT and 8AT, each on its own clock

The Xpander and Xpander Cross use a conventional 4-speed automatic (no CVT in PH, the MY26 facelift included), with ATF due every 60,000 km or 48 months on the transmission types the sheet lists; the Xpander cost page covers it interval by interval. The Mirage CVT sits under the same 60,000 km or 48 months line on the 083024 template. The Xforce and Destinator are CVT on every variant, on the newer sheet: fluid every 40,000 km or 24 months, plus a drain plug gasket on the Destinator. The Montero Sport's 8-speed and the Triton's 6-speed sit at 100,000 km on the 25MY and Triton sheets, transfer case included on 4x4s; the 24MY-and-older Montero Sport sheet says 60,000 km or 48 months. Manuals: gear oil at 30,000 km or 24 months (older sheets) or 100,000 km or 60 months (newer).

What to do: budget the service as a scheduled item and get it quoted at booking. MMPC publishes no package price for any of these, and a CVT drain-and-fill and an 8AT service are not the same job.
Rough cost: owners of previous-generation Montero Sports report roughly ₱6,000–₱7,000 for an ATF-and-filter service on the older gearbox and fluid spec. The current 8AT takes a different fluid; treat that figure as a floor and have it quoted.

Aircon in Philippine heat

A Montero Sport or Xpander cabin is a lot of air to chill, and a Mirage's small system works no less hard for it. The prevention is on every checksheet: cabin filter cleaned at each service, replaced every 15,000 km on the older sheets (from 20,000 km) or 20,000 km on the newer. A clogged filter alone makes a healthy system feel tired. Past the filter the cost spread is the widest on the car, which is why the cause gets confirmed before parts get ordered; the aircon not cold page walks through the causes in order.

What owners notice: cold in the morning, weak by afternoon; cooling that fades in stop-go traffic and returns at speed.
Common causes: a dirty cabin filter or evaporator, a low refrigerant charge, or a compressor on its way out. Similar symptoms at very different prices; have a mechanic confirm the cause first.
Rough cost: class-generic PH retail, not Mitsubishi-specific: cleaning ₱3,500–₱5,500; refrigerant top-up or recharge roughly ₱500–₱1,000 and up; compressor ₱8,500–₱19,500 in parts by model, ₱18,000 upward installed new; evaporator ₱2,200–₱12,000.

Brakes, tires and batteries under load

Most of this lineup carries weight for a living: seven seats in the Xpander and Montero Sport, a bed on the Triton, whatever fits on an L300. Pads and tires wear at the loaded end of every range; the checksheets inspect them every 10,000 km or 6 months (newer sheets) or 15,000 km or 12 months (older), rotation on the same rhythm.

Brake symptoms are never a watch item. A squeal, a longer pedal or vibration under braking means an inspection now, not at the next PMS.

Batteries die of heat: plan on roughly 2–3 years here, and the diesels take a bigger battery than the small cars.

What owners notice: squeal or grind when stopping, a pedal that travels further, vibration through the wheel; for the battery, slow cranking after a night parked.
What to do: brakes: inspect now on any symptom; pads replaced before they wear into the discs keep the job small. Battery: ask for the test at every PMS; it is already on the sheet at every service.
Rough cost: pads and batteries are in the PMS table above; parts only, labor on top. The short version: aftermarket pads from a few hundred pesos a set, genuine higher; batteries ₱4,500–₱7,500 for a Mirage or Xpander and roughly ₱7,000–₱13,000 for the larger group the diesels typically take (Motolite retail, September 2026).

Free PMS, the PMP Package, and the two MMPC-published recalls

Free PMS promos cover a list. MMPC's Mirage G4 two-year package (to February 2022) spelled it out: six services from 1,000 to 25,000 km with mineral engine oil, oil filter, drain plug gasket, air cleaner, cabin filter and labor, non-transferable. The 2026 promos on select Xpander, Xpander Cross and Xforce variants list free PMS parts and labor from 1,000 to 20,000 km. Read which services and which oil are included; pads, batteries and transmission fluid usually are not, and a mineral-oil package likely holds you to the 5,000-km rhythm.

The Prepaid Maintenance Parts Package (PMP Package, sold as PartsCare+) launched nationwide on 1 July 2025: 15% off Mitsubishi Genuine PMS parts on a 1-year plan, 20% on 2 years, 25% on 3, bought at purchase or up to the first PMS. Parts only; labor is not stated as covered, and the dealer prices it per vehicle type.

Then the recalls. In October 2024 MMPC announced a recall on 411 L300 units, model year 2024, for a hard gear shift if the transmission was not filled with oil. The dealer inspects: a dry unit gets a new transmission, propeller shaft and snap pin; a filled one gets the oil inspection cap and filler plug tightened with a new gasket. No cost; dealers contact owners, and MMPC Customer Care answers at (+632) 250-8888, weekdays 7 am to 4 pm. The other is the Xpander fuel pump, announced December 2019 for units sold between May 2018 and 22 October 2019, replaced free; the Xpander cost page has the detail.

No other MMPC-published recall was found for the current Montero Sport, Triton, Mirage or Xforce. That is not a guarantee about your unit; a VIN check with an MMPC dealer is the only per-unit answer.

What to do: own a model-year 2024 L300? Ask the dealer whether the transmission campaign was completed on your VIN. Own a 2018–2019 Xpander? Same question for the fuel pump. Buying either used, make it part of the deal.

Mitsubishi maintenance cost by model

Same rules, different bills:

[Mitsubishi Xpander](/ph-en/cost/mitsubishi/xpander) and Xpander Cross — 1.5L 4A91 gasoline, chain-driven, 5-speed manual on the GLX or 4-speed automatic, no CVT in PH. Older-sheet rhythm. MPV class: light casa PMS ₱5,000–₱7,500, heavy ₱10,000–₱16,000+; owners report ₱5,000–₱9,000 casa at the bigger intervals. Failure points on the [Xpander problems page](/ph-en/problems/mitsubishi/xpander).
Mitsubishi Mirage and Mirage G4 — 1.2L three-cylinder 3A92, chain-driven per Mitsubishi parts listings, 5-speed manual or CVT, 5-year warranty. Older-sheet rhythm. The cheapest Mitsubishi to run: light ₱5,000–₱7,000, heavy ₱10,000–₱15,000+ per PH guides; hatchback owners report roughly ₱6,000–₱9,500 for the 10,000- and 20,000-km casa visits. Cost page coming.
Mitsubishi Montero Sport — 4N15 2.4L turbo diesel, 6-speed manual or 8-speed automatic; current generation launched in PH in January 2016. 24MY and older: 5,000 km / 4 months; 25MY: 10,000 km / 6 months, ATF at 100,000 km. SUV class: light ₱8,000–₱12,000, heavy ₱18,000–₱28,000+.
Mitsubishi Triton (and the used Strada) — all-new in PH since January 2024, 4N16 2.4L diesel, 6-speed manual or automatic, 10,000 km / 6 months, fuel filter 20,000 km, ATF 100,000 km. Only the Athlete 4WD AT carries a DPF and needs Euro 5 diesel. Pickup-class ranges in the table apply. The pre-2024 Strada is used-market only; get its own checksheet from the dealer.
Mitsubishi L300 — 4N14 2.2L turbo diesel, 5-speed manual, sold as cab and chassis. Older-sheet rhythm, where the 4-month rule catches low-km working units; the 30,000-km stop stacks gearbox, transfer and rear differential oil, caliper overhaul from 35,000 km. Pickup-class ranges apply. MY2024 units: ask about the transmission recall. Cost page coming.
Mitsubishi Xforce — 1.5L gasoline, CVT on every variant, launched in PH in 2024. Newer-sheet rhythm, CVT fluid at 40,000 km / 24 months. PH guides do not yet break out an Xforce line; the gasoline ranges above are the nearest fit, and the CVT service needs a quote.
Mitsubishi Destinator — 1.5L turbo gasoline, CVT on every variant, on sale since November 2025. Newer-sheet rhythm, CVT fluid and gasket at 40,000 km, coolant first at 160,000 km / 8 years. Launched with PartsCare+ at 20/25/30% and two extra warranty years through 17 March 2026.
Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV — 2.4L 4B12 gasoline plus a drive battery covered by its own warranty, 8 years or 160,000 km, whichever comes first. No PH PMS price data found; have battery work quoted by the casa.
Mitsubishi Versa Van — the 15-seater reintroduced in February 2026, 2.5L diesel and 5-speed manual. Commercial duty, diesel economics, no PH cost record yet.

The model pages carry the interval-by-interval detail. Don't see yours? [Enter it in noMech](/ph-en/) and it tells you whether that car is covered yet.

Casa or talyer?

For a Mirage or Xpander out of warranty, the casa vs talyer math is the usual one: 30–50% less at the talyer for the same oil, filter and inspection; genuine parts and a stamped booklet at the casa.

The diesels tilt it. SIQL is a dealer-tool job, so a Montero Sport, Triton or L300 owner who wants the checksheet done in full is at the casa for the 15,000–20,000-km stops whatever the oil changes cost elsewhere. Then the warranty extension: the free fourth year needs every scheduled PMS on record in the booklet a dealer inspects, and inside three years that condition is worth more than the gap on an oil change.

Either way, walk in knowing what is due. The MMPC checksheet for your model and year is public; with it, you can tell the scheduled fuel filter from a "recommended" fuel-system flush.

Frequently asked questions

How much is a Mitsubishi PMS in the Philippines?: MMPC publishes the schedule, not prices. PH price guides put a light casa PMS at roughly ₱5,000–₱7,500 for a Mirage or Xpander and ₱8,000–₱12,000 for a Montero Sport, Triton or L300; heavy stops run ₱10,000–₱16,000+ gasoline and ₱15,000–₱29,000+ diesel. A talyer is 30–50% less. Estimates, not quotes.
Is the Montero Sport expensive to maintain?: More than a gasoline Mitsubishi, per visit. The 4N15 diesel takes around 6.5 L of low-ash oil, a fuel filter every 15,000–20,000 km and SIQL at the dealer. PH guides put a light casa PMS at ₱8,000–₱12,000 and heavy stops at ₱18,000–₱28,000+. The 25MY sheet halves the visits.
How often is the PMS on a Mitsubishi diesel?: It depends on the checksheet year. Montero Sport 24MY and older, and the L300: every 5,000 km or 4 months on mineral oil, 10,000 km or 8 months on fully synthetic. Montero Sport 25MY and Triton: every 10,000 km or 6 months. Fuel filter at 15,000 km (older) or 20,000 km (newer).
Do Mitsubishi engines use a timing belt or chain?: No current MMPC checksheet schedules a belt change for these models. The Xpander's 4A91 is chain-driven, and parts listings show a chain on the Mirage's 3A92. The checksheet template keeps a 70,000-km belt line marked "except for models with timing chain", which is where the confusion starts; confirm your engine with the dealer.
Does the L300 have a DPF?: Not on MMPC's spec sheet. The L300's 4N14 2.2L diesel is listed as Euro 4, and no particulate filter appears on its spec page or checksheet. In the current lineup only the Triton Athlete 4WD AT, the Euro 5B variant, is listed with a particulate filter, and it needs Euro 5 diesel. MMPC's Montero Sport page does not mention a DPF.
Was the L300 recalled in the Philippines?: Yes. In October 2024 MMPC announced a recall on 411 model-year 2024 L300 units for a hard gear shift when the transmission was not filled with oil. Dealers inspect and either replace the transmission, propeller shaft and snap pin or tighten the filler plug with a new gasket, free. MMPC Customer Care: (+632) 250-8888.
