sae MITSUBISHI PAJERO IV 2011 Owners Manual

Use only the recommended oils with an ACEA or
API classification as specified in this manual.
NOTE
l For
3200 models,
check or refill the oil ac-
cording to the following manner. • When the oil level is checked in step 6above, check it on a low side of the dip-
stick because it is different in appearance
of oil level in the two sides of the dipstick.
• On vehicles without diesel particulate fil- ter (DPF), the oil level should be within
the range (A) to (B) on the dipstick.
• On vehicles with DPF, the oil level should be within the range (A) to (C) (oil
replacement indication mark) on the dip-
stick.
If the oil level is beyond the oil replace-
ment indication mark (C), replace the oil
as soon as possible.
Then, the oil should be refilled to the max-
imum level (B).
• On vehicles with DPF, the engine oil will increase due to a little fuel getting mixed
in the engine oil when the DPF regener-
ates to burn away the PM (particulate mat-
ter). However, it does not indicate a mal-
function.
l The engine oil will deteriorate rapidly if the
vehicle is subjected to severe conditions, re-
quiring earlier oil replacement. Please refer
to the maintenance schedule.
l For handling of used engine oils, refer to
page 06. Selection of engine oil
Petrol-powered vehicles
l
Select engine
oil
of the proper SAE viscosity
number according to the atmospheric temper-
ature.
SAE 0W-30, 5W-30, and 5W-40 engine oils
can only be used if they meet ACEA A3/B3,
A3/B4 or A5/B5 and API SM (or higher) spec-
ifications.
l Use engine oil conforming to the following
classification:
• API classification: “For service SM” orhigher
• ILSAC certificated oil
• ACEA classification: “For service A1/B1, A3/B3, A3/B4 or
A5/B5” NOTE
l Use
of additives

is not recommended since
they may reduce the effectiveness of addi-
tives already included in the engine oil. It
may result in failure of the mechanical assem-
bly.
Diesel-powered vehicles
Vehicles without diesel particulate filter (DPF) l
Select engine
oil
of the proper SAE viscosity
number according to the atmospheric temper-
ature.
l Use engine oil conforming to the following
classification:
• ACEA classification:“For service A1/B1, A3/B3, A3/B4,
A5/B5, C1, C2, C3 or C4”
• API classification: “For service CD” or higher
• JASO classification: “For service DL-1”
If those classifications are not available, con-
tact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Authorized
Service Point. Maintenance

E01000501273
To check the coolant level
A translucent
coolant
reserve tank is located in the
engine compartment.
The coolant level in this tank should be kept be-
tween the “LOW” and “FULL” marks when meas-
ured while the engine is cold. To add coolant
The cooling
system

is a closed system and normal-
ly the loss of coolant should be very slight. A no-
ticeable drop in the coolant level could indicate leak-
age. If this occurs, we recommend you to have the
system checked as soon as possible.
If the level should drop below the “LOW” level on
the reserve tank, open the lid and add coolant.
Also, if the reserve tank is completely empty, re-
move the radiator cap and add coolant until the lev-
el reaches the filler neck. Maintenance
