3-90 Features and controls
3Turbocharger operation
N00537300048
TurbochargerThe turbocharger increases engine power by pushing large
amounts of air into the engine’s cylinders. The finned parts
inside the turbocharger turn at extremely high speeds and are
subjected to extremely high temperatures. They are lubricated
by engine oil and cooled by engine oil and coolant. If the
engine oil is not replaced at the specified intervals, the bearings
may seize or emit abnormal noise.
CAUTION
!
Do not run the engine at high speeds (for example,
by revving it or by accelerating rapidly) immedi-
ately after starting it.
Do not stop the engine immediately after high-speed
or uphill driving. First allow the engine to idle to
give the turbocharger a chance to cool down.
To avoid engine and/or turbocharger damage, use
only fully synthetic engine oil for this vehicle.
DO NOT use conventional petroleum based motor
oil or “blends” of conventional oil and synthetic oil.
Refer to “Recommended engine oil viscosity” on
page 7-9.

Engine oil and oil filter
N00937700639
To check and refill engine oil It is normal for an engine to use oil. You may need to add oil
between the recommended oil change intervals. Before starting
the engine, check the engine oil level. Refill if necessary.
To check the oil level, remove the dipstick, wipe it off, and
gently insert it all the way into the crankcase. Slowly remove it
again. The oil level must not go above the line on the dipstick.
If the level does not reach the line, which shows the smallest
amount of oil required, remove the oil filler cap on the engine
valve cover, and fill to within the “Good” range.

If you cannot find oils with the ILSAC certification symbol,
use an API classification SM or higher oil with the following
label.
This mark appears on the top of the oil container and tells you
two important things about the oil.
Recommended engine oil viscosity
N00955000054
Use engine oil with the proper thickness for the outdoor tem-
peratures where you will be driving.NOTE
DO NOT use conventional petroleum based motor oil.
Using conventional motor oil may cause engine or turbo-
charger damage.

DO NOT used “blends” of conventional oil and synthetic
oil.

Use ONLY fully synthetic engine oils displaying ILSAC
certification symbol or conforming to the API classifica-
tion SM or higher. If the correct oil is not used, any oil-
related engine or turbocharger failure, along with any
peripheral engine or powertrain damage, will not be cov-
ered by your vehicle warranty.

2. Install the air cleaner filter and put the cover back on in its
original position. NOTE
Genuine Mitsubishi Motors Parts are recommended when
replacing the air cleaner filter.

After replacing the air cleaner filter, make sure that the
hinges at the bottom of cover are firmly set.

7Replacement of light bulbs
N00942900219
Before replacing a bulb, be sure the light is off. Do not touch
the glass part of the new bulb with your bare fingers; the oil
from your skin will stay on the glass and dim or destroy the
bulb when it gets hot.NOTE
If you are unsure of how to carry out the work as required,
it is recommended that these procedures be carried out by
an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility
of your choice.

Be careful not to scratch the vehicle body when removing
a light and lens.

When it rains, or when the vehicle has been washed, the
inside of the lens sometimes becomes temporarily foggy.
This is the same phenomenon as when window glass mists
up on a humid day, and does not indicate a functional
problem.
When the light is switched on, the heat will remove the
fog. However, if water gathers inside the light, please
have it checked by an authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer or a repair facility of your choice.
Bulb capacity
N00943000099
The bulb should only be replaced with a new bulb with the
same rating and type. The type and rating are listed on the base
of the bulb.Outside
N00950300733
[Except for vehicles with high intensity discharge headlights]
CAUTION
!
Bulbs are extremely hot immediately after being
turned off.
When replacing a bulb, wait for it to cool sufficiently
before touching it. You could otherwise be burned.
