Engine Oil is recommended for optimum fueleconomy and cold weather starting. If Mitsubishi Motors Genuine 0W-20 Syn- thetic Engine Oil is not available, 5W-20grade oils displaying th
e ILSAC certification
can be used. However, Mitsubishi Motors Genuine 0W-20Synthetic Engine Oil s
hould be used at the
next oil change to maintain optimum fuel economy and cold weather starting. The oil filter should be replaced at the time or mileage specified in the “WARRANTY ANDMAINTENANCE 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 Mitsubishioil filter is the best replacement filter. Follow the installation instructions printed on the filter.

The engine coolant reservoir (A) lets youquickly see when you need to add coolant.When the engine is cold
, the level of the cool-
ant in the reservoir should be between the “F”usually stays full so there is no reason to remove the radiator cap (B) except when you check the coolant freeze point or replace theantifreeze coolant.
Mitsubishi Motors Genuine Coolant provides excellent protection
against corrosion and
rust formation on all me
tals, including alumi-
num, and prevents clogs in some parts of theengine. If you need to add coolant often, or if the level in the reservoir does not drop when theengine cools, the c
ooling system should be
pressure-tested for leaks. Take your vehicle to an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or arepair facility of your
choice for testing.

The radiator cap must be
sealed tight to pre-
vent losing coolant, which may result in engine damage. Only use a Genuine Mitsubishi Parts radiator
cap, or an approved
equivalent.
Do not overfill the reservoir. Your vehicle uses a special radiator cap that stays sealed and lets the coolant flow from the reservoir back to the radiatorwhen the engine cools down. If you need to change the cap, use the exact same kind.
Check the coolant freeze point in the radi- ator with the proper gauge, and only whenit is safe. If you add antifreeze, the con- tents of the reservoi
r must be protected
against freezing. Keep the front of the radiator and con- denser clean. If the engine coolan
t temperature does not
rise after the engine
is warmed-up, take
your vehicle to an au
thorized Mitsubishi
Motors dealer or a repair facility of your choice to have the thermostat checked, and replaced if necessary.
