It is normal for an engi
ne to use oil. You may
need to add oil between the recommended oil change intervals. Befo
re starting the engine,
check the engine oil leve
l. Refill if necessary.
To check the oil level,
remove the dipstick,
wipe it off, and gently reinsert it all the way.Slowly pull the dipsti
ck straight out and
check the oil level by checking the upper sur- face of the dipstick. The oil level must not goabove the line on the dipstick. If the level does not reach the line which shows the minimum am
ount of oil required,
remove the oil filler cap on the engine valve cover, and fill to within the “Good” range.
Engine oil and oil filter To check and refill engine oil
NOTE
 If it is difficult to verify the oil level, wipe off the dipstick and
reinsert it. Wait a
moment and then recheck the oil level by checking the upper surface of the dipstick.
CAUTION Overfilling will cause
oil aeration and loss of
oil pressure, which coul
d damage the engine.
2.4 L models3.0 L models
WA R N I N GUsed engine oil is po
isonous, and can dam-
age your skin. Prolonged and repeatedcontact may cause serious skin disorders,including dermatitis and cancer. Do not let used oil touch your sk
in and wash thor-
oughly after working with it. Keep used oil out of
the reach of children.
NOTE
Engine oil consumption
is greatly influenced
by payload, engine speed, etc.  The engine oil wi
ll deteriorate rapidly if the
vehicle is subjected to
severe conditions (for
example, repeated operation on rough roads, in mountainous regions, on roads with many uphill and downhill grad
ients, or over short
distances). Consequently
, the oil will require
earlier replacement in accordance with the schedule in the “WARRANTY AND MAIN-TENANCE MANUAL”.

Mitsubishi Motors re
commends using only
engine oils with the ILSAC certification sym- bol on the front of the container. If you cannot find oils
with the ILSAC certi-
fication symbol, use an
API classification SN
oil with the following label. This mark appears on the top of the oil con-tainer and tells you two important things about the oil.
Use engine oil with the proper thickness for the outdoor temperatures where you will bedriving.

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 the ILSAC certification can be used. However, Mitsubishi
Motors Genuine 0W-20
Synthetic 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 Mitsubishi Mo

ters require that the filter can withstand a pressure of 256 psi (1.8 MPa). A MitsubishiMotors Genuine oil filter
is the best replace-
ment filter. Follow the installation instructions printed onthe filter.

The engine coolant reserve tank (A) lets youquickly see when you need to add coolant. When the engine is cold, the level of the cool- ant in the reserve tank should be between theFULL 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 Genui
ne Coolant provides
excellent protection against corrosion andrust formation on all metals, including alumi- num, and prevents clogs 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 shouldbe pressure-tested for le
aks. Take your vehi-
cle to an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of
your choice for testing.
Engine coolant To check the coolant level
*: Front of the vehicleTo add coolant Use “Mitsubishi Motors Genuine Super Long Life Coolant Premium” or equivalent
*.
* : similar high quality et
hylene glycol based
non-silicate, non-amine, non-nitrate andnon-borate coolant with long life hybrid organic acid technology
CAUTION  Do not use alcohol or methanol antifreeze or any engine coolants th
at contain them. Using
the wrong antifreeze can corrode aluminum parts. The required concentrati
on of anti-freeze dif-
fers depending on the
expected ambient tem-
perature. Above -31 °F (-35 °C): 50 % concentration of anti-freezeBelow -31 °F (-35 °C): 60 % concentration of anti-freeze You can check the concentration level with agauge from an automotive supply store, or your authorized Mitsubi
shi Motors dealer or
service station can check it for you. Do not use water to adjust the concentration of coolant.

The radiator cap must be sealed tight to pre- vent losing coolant, which may result in engine damage. Only use a Mitsubishi Motors Genuine Parts radiator cap, or anapproved equivalent.  Do not overfill the reserve tank.
 Your vehicle uses a
special radiator cap
that stays sealed and lets the coolant flowfrom the reserve tank back to the radiator when the engine cools down. If you need to change the cap, use the exact samekind.  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 reserve ta
nk 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.
N00937901410
The air cleaner filter
will get dirty and dusty
from use and not filter
properly. Replace it
with a new filter using the schedule in the “WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL”. 1. For 2.4 L models, remove the two clips (A), then remove the Air duct (B).
2. For 2.4 L models,
while holding down the
tab (C), pull out the connector (D). 3. Unclamp the cover. Open up the top of the cover and take out th
e air cleaner filter.
Do not top off the tank with plain water only. Water by itself boils at
a lower temperature
and does not stop rust or freezing. If thewater freezes, it will
damage your cooling
system. Do not use ta
pwater. It can cause
corrosion and rust.
Radiator cap
WA R N I N G Wait for the engine to cool down before opening the radiator
cap. Otherwise hot
steam or boiling c
oolant could spray up
from the radiator and scald you.
