The 15k service for an 07 Outlander should cost $129.53 for my zip code according to the Edmunds Maintenance Guide.

Does anybody know the value of the standard torque applied to the tires (wheel nut) of a 2008 Outlander 18” wheels?
 
Does anybody know the value of the standard torque applied to oil plug (sealer) of a 2008 Outlander V6?
 
Does anybody know the value of the standard torque applied to the oil filter canister of a 2008 Outlander V6?
 
Thanks,

2007 Outlander - possible recall on Canadian vehicle. by maryj786

I bought my new 2007 Outlander back in Oct/07 here in Canada. I did receive the harness recall notice and took it into the local dealer here in Victoria,BC. Since it was due for a 12,000km warranty service, I had them take care of it which in turn turned into a problem. The mechanic noticed an oil leak coming form the front of the engine around the crankshaft area that was dripping onto the oil pan. They proceeded to investigate by opening up the front engine compartment, etc and found after even more dismantling that an entire O-RING had not been installed at all during the building of my vehicle. In turn Japan head office was notified of the problem and I am waiting to find out if any other vehicles may have suffered the same dilemma as mine has. Over all, I love my Outlander. I also own a 2004 Galant bought New.It's been the best long distance highway trip car I've ever had.
I would suggest that all 2007 Outlander owners examine the vehicle's engine compartment to check for a frontal oil leak or have the mechanic inspect it during your next oil change. It could effect a recall on some of the other Outlanders.

Did you notice any oil drip on the ground or the oil wouldn't reach the ground so you wouldn't know unless you put the car on the hoist and closely inspect?

I didn't notice any new drip as it was parked on the gravelled part of the driveway. The lealer's mechanic noticed the leak when it was put up onto the hoist to rotate the tires, check the brakes and change the oil. They were shocked. It's the first reported case of such a problem. It's been fixed now.

I know what you are going threw, I was the one who started the recall on the wiring harness. My suv filled with smoke with my son in his car seat, I got him out and disconnected the battery and saved the truck and thats the start of my problems. Mitsubishi had two tecks from japan and two from California fly in to look at my suv. The fix thay came up with was to relocate the wiring harness and replace the carpet. My truck was 3 months old and smelled like smoke. I asked the rep to replace my truck with a new one and they would not. The dealer offered to replace it with a equal truck but they could not find one . I gave up! I asked them to shampoo it one more time, which they did and also put a dent in the passenger side door (trip to body shop).I also had to bring it in for a loose part in the rear suspension (I feel safe now) Now as I speak to you I am in the mitts of another possible re call (I guess I'm good at starting re calls)The rear driverside window can come off the track and open outside the truck. To chek this out, pull lightly on the top of the rear window of your outlander toward the back of the viehical it will come out of the track This can happen all by it's self, If you try to roll it up or down it will scrach the paint on your door and it can stop you from opening the front door by blocking it. The window can roll out the door exposing the window mechanism(not so good) I have had rentals and have been out of my truck for well over two weeks

Possible Cause of Numerous Faults by archquark

My wife pulled into the garage last night after a short trip into town with our 2007 Outlander XLS 4WD and said the gauges and trip computer/fault indication screen had died on the way home. I checked the fuse indicated in owners manual for guages but found it ok. After replacing fuse I noted that screen had returned but now had diagnostic fault icon (engine) in upper right. I drove vehicle down street but was unable to go over 20 kmh. At this point I noticed ASC icon was indicating it was in off state, attempts to return it to normal did not help. I contacted a GM mechanical technician friend who stated that it sounded like a ground fault or component failure. I have had vehicle towed to local Mitsubishi dealer but wondered if anyone has had a similar problem. Vehicle has had no problems up to now with 30,000 km and getting average of 27.5 km per Imperial gallon.
