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

The engine coolant reserve tank (A) lets you
quickly 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 the
FULL 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 Genuine Coolant provides
excellent protection against corrosion and
rust formation on all metals, including alumi-
num, and prevents clogs in some parts of the
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 should
be pressure-tested for leaks. 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 vehicle
To add coolant
Use “Mitsubishi Motors Genuine Super Long
Life Coolant Premium” or equivalent*.
*: similar high quality ethylene glycol based
non-silicate, non-amine, non-nitrate and
non-borate coolant with long life hybrid
organic acid technology
FULL
LOW
CAUTION
Do not use alcohol or methanol antifreeze or
any engine coolants that contain them. Using
the wrong antifreeze can corrode aluminum
parts.
The required concentration of anti-freeze dif-
fers depending on the expected ambient tem-
perature.
Above -31 °F (-35 °C): 50 % concentration
of anti-freeze
Below -31 °F (-35 °C): 60 % concentration
of anti-freeze
You can check the concentration level with a
gauge from an automotive supply store, or
your authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or
service station can check it for you.
Do not use water to adjust the concentration
of coolant.
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 the
water freezes, it will damage your cooling
system. Do not use tapwater. It can cause
corrosion and rust.
