The oil filter should be replaced at the time or
mileage specified in the “WARRANTY AND
MAINTENANCE MANUAL”.
Only use high quality replacement filters on
this vehicle. The manufacturer’s specifica-
tions for Genuine Mitsubishi oil filters
require that the filter can withstand a pressure
of 256 psi (1.8 MPa). A Genuine Mitsubishi
oil filter is the best replacement filter.
Follow the installation instructions printed on
the filter.

The coolant reserve tank (A) lets you quickly
see when you need to add coolant. When the
engine is cold, the level in the reserve tank
should be between the “FULL” and “LOW”
marks. The radiator usually stays full so there
is no reason to remove the radiator cap (B)
except when you check the coolant freeze
point or replace the antifreeze coolant.
Mitsubishi Motors Genuine Coolant provides
excellent protection against corrosion and
rust formation on all metals, including alumi-
num, and prevents blockages in some parts of
engine.
If you need to add coolant often, or if the
level in the reserve tank does not drop when
the engine cools, the cooling system should
be pressure-tested for leaks. Take your vehi-
cle to an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer
or a repair facility of your choice for testing.

the wrong antifreeze can corrode aluminum
parts.

The required concentration of anti-freeze dif-
fers depending on the expected ambient tem-
perature.
Above -31 °F (-35 °C) : 50 %concentration
of anti-freeze
