’ ~ “.SELECTION OF LUBRICANTS
ENGINE OIL
Engine oil should be used which conform to the requirements
of the API classification “For Service SG” or “For Service
SGKD”, and have the proper SAE grade number for the
expected temperature range.
Caution
Nondetergent or straight mineral oil must never be used.
Energy Conserving Oil
In order to improve fuel economy and conserve energy new,
lower friction engine oils have been developed. These oils are
readily available and can be identified by such labels as “EnergyConserving”,“Energy Saving”,“Improved Fuel Economy”,
etc.
/”SAE
5W-20 Not recommended for sustained
high speed vehicle operation.**SAE
5W-30 may be used for operation in very

NWSAAFAlways use lubricants which conform to the requirements
of the API classification “For Service SG” or “For Service
SGKD” .when available, and have the proper SAE grade
number for the expected temperature range.
Never use nondetergent or straight mineral oil.
(1) After warming up the engine, remove the oil filler cap.
(2) Remove the drain plug to allow the engine oil to drain.
(3) Replace the drain plug gasket with a new one and
tighten the drain plug.
(4) Supply new engine oil through the oil filler.
Engine oil total capacity:
< 1.8L Engine>3.9 liters (4.1 qts.)
<2.0L DOHC-Non-Turbo>4.4 liters (4.8 qts.)
<2.0L DOHC-Turbo>4.7 liters (5.0 qts.1[including oil filter 0.4 liter
(l/2 qt.)]
(5) Start and run the engine a few minutes.
(6) Stop the engine and check the engine oil level.
8. ENGINE OIL FILTER (Change)
NOO!SABGaThe quality of replacement filters varies considerably. Only
high quality filters should be used to assure most efficient
service.Genuine oil filters require that the filter is capable of
withstanding a pressure of 256 psi
.are high quality filters
and are recommended as follows:
Oil Filter Part No.
Mitsubishi Genuine Parts: MD031805 or equivalent

OIL FtLTER SELECTtONThis vehicle is equipped with a full-flow, throw-away oil
,~
filter.The same type of replacement filter is recommended as a
replacement filter for this vehicle. It is possible, particularilyin cold weather, that this vehicle may develop high oil
pressure for a short duration. You should be sure that any
replacement filter used on this vehicle is a high-quality filterand is capable of withstanding a pressure of 256 psi
(manufacturer’s specifications) to avoid filter and engine
damage. The following is a high-quality filter and is stronglyrecommended for use on this vehicle
: Mitsubishi Engine
-Oil Filter Part No. MD031805 or MD084693.
Any replacement oil filter should be installed in accordancewith the oil filter manufacturer’s installation instructions.
(1) Remove the engine oil filler cap.
(2) Remove the engine oil drain plug, and drain out the
engine oil.
(3) Remove the engine oil filter by using the oil filter
wrench.(4) Clean the oil filter mounting surface of the oil filter
bracket.(5) Coat engine oil to the O-ring of new oil filter.
(6) Turn the oil filter by hand to install to the block.
NOTEThe oil filter tightening torque is
11-13 Nm (8-10
ftlbs.).A(7) Supply engine oil.
.(8) Start and run engine and check for engine oil leaks.
(9) After stopping engine, check oil level and replenish as
necessary.9. MANUAL TRANSAXLE (Inspect oil level)
NOOSBCEbInspect each component for evidence of leakage, and
check the oil level by remaining the filler plug. If the oil is
contaminated, it is necessary to replace it with new oil.
1. With the vehicle parked at a level place, remove the
filler plug and check to be sure that the oil level is up tothe lower edge of the filler plug hole.
2. Check to be sure that the transmission oil is not
noticeably dirty, and that it has a suitable viscosity.

I~~+v~!1. Drive until the fluid temperature reaches the usual
temperature
[70-80°C (160- 18O”F)l.2. Place vehicle on level floor.
3.Move selector lever sequentially to every position to fill
torque converter and hydraulic
circuitwith fluid, then
place lever in“N” Neutral position. This operation is
necessary to be sure that fluid level check is accurate.
4.Before removing dipstick, wipe all dirt from area arounddipstick. Then take out the dipstick and check the
condition of the fluid.
The transaxle should be overhauled under the following
conditions.l If there is a “burning” odor.
l If the fluid color has become noticeably blacker.
l If there is a noticeably great amount of metal
particles in the fluid.
5.Check to see if fluid level is in “HOT” range on dipstick.If fluid level is low, add ATF until level reaches “HOT”
range.Low fluid level can cause a variety of conditions
because it allows pump to take in air along with fluid. Airtrapped in hydraulic circuit forms bubbles which make
fluid spongy. Therefore, pressures will be erratic.
Improper filling can also raise fluid level too high. Whentransaxle has too much fluid, gears churn up foam and
cause same conditions which occur with low fluid level,resulting in accelerated deterioration of ATF.
transmission fluid.
In either case, air bubbles can cause overheating, fluid
oxidation, which can interfere with normal valve, clutch,and servo operation. Foaming can also result in fluid
escaping from transaxle vent where it may be mistakenfor a leak.
6. Be sure to examine fluid on dipstick closely.lO.AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE (Change fluid)
Drain the fluid and check whether there is any evidence of
contamination.
Replenish with new fluid after the cause of any contamina-tion has been corrected.
(1) Remove drain plugs to let fluid drain.
(2) Remove the oil pan.
(3) Check the oil filter for clogging and damage and replaceif necessary.
(4) Clean the inside of oil pan and 5 magnets.

BRAKES - Service Adiustment Procedures5-45I
\\14A0416
2314A04.54
BLEEDINGN65FYAN
When the master cylinder is empty of brake fluid, bleed air
from the master cylinder by proceeding with procedures (1)
thru (6). (Because this master cylinder is not equipped with a
check valve.)
When brake fluid remains in the master cylinder, proceed with
step (6).
(1) -Disconnect the brake tube from the master cylinder.
(2) Two persons should conduct the air bleeding, one person
slowly depressing the brake pedal and holding the pedal
depressed.(3) In this condition, the other person should use a finger to
close the outlet part of the master cylinder, and then the
first person should release the brake pedal.
(4) Steps (2) and (3) should be repeated three or four times,
and then the master cylinder should be filled with brake
fluid to the specified level.
NOTE
The air is completely bled from the master cylinder by steps
(1) to (4).
(5) Connect the brake tube to the master cylinder.
(6) Start the engine; then, in the sequence shown in the
illustration, bleed the air from each wheel cylinder.
Specified brake fluid: MOPAR Brake Fluid/
Conforming to DOT3
Caution
1.Use the specified brake fluid. Avoid using a mixture
of the specified brake fluid and other fluid.2. If brake fluid is exposed to the air, it will absorb
moisture; as water is absorbed from the atmos-phere, the boiling point of the brake fluid will
decrease and the braking performance will be
seriously impaired. For this reason, use a hermeti-
cally sealed 1 lit.
(1.06 qt.) or 0.5 lit. (0.52 qt.) brake
fluid container.3. Firmly close the cap of the brake fluid container
after use.
4. For vehicles with the anti-lock braking system, besure to install a filter to the master cylinder
reservoir tank when supplying brake fluid.
ORDINARY AIR-BLEEDING PROCEDURES(1) Depress the brake pedal several times until resistance is
felt; then, with the pedal depressed, loosen the bleeder
screw
l/3 to l/2 turn and then tighten it before the fluid
pressure is all gone.
(2) Release the brake pedal. Repeat this procedure until there
are no more air bubbles in the brake fluid.
