ENGINE OIL FILTER SELECTION
This vehicle is equipped with a full-flow, throw-away oilfilter.
The same type of replacement filter is recommended as a replacement filter for this vehicle. It is possible, particularily
in 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 filter
and 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 strongly
recommended for use on this vehicle
: Mitsubishi Engine
Oil Filter Part No. MD1 35737 or MD1 36466.
Any replacement oil filter should be installed in accordance
with 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
(4)

(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)
MOO66CE
Inspect 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.
I. With the vehicle parked at a level place, remove the filler plug and check to be sure that the oil level is up to
the 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.

SERVICE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDU$$o
ENGINE OIL CHECK
(1) Check to ensure that the engine oil level is within the level
range indicated on the oil dip stick.
(2) Check to ensure that the oil is not noticeably dirty or mixed
with coolant or gasoline, and that it has the proper
viscosity. IASH
ACIJUSTERS CHECKMllFEAGa
NOTE
Soon after the engine is started or while it is running,
abnormal noise (clattering) which may be attributed to the
adjuster sounds but does not stop. In this case, check the
following.
(1) Check the engine oil, and refill or replace oil if necessary.
NOTE
0If the oil amount is small, air will be sucked from the oil
strainer and mixed in the oil passage.
0If the oil amount is excessive, the oil will be stirred by
the crank and mixed with a large amount of air.
0Air and oil can not be separated easily in the deterio- rated oil, and the amount of air mixed in the oil
increases.
If such mixed-in air enters the high pressure chamber in
the lash adjuster, the air in the high-pressure chamber will be compressed while the valve is opened, the lash adjuster
will be excessively compressed and abnormal noise will be produced when the valve is closed.
This is the same phenomenon which occurs when the
valve clearance is improperly adjusted to be excessively
large.
However, it will return to be normal if the air entrapped in
the adjuster is released in this case.
(2) Start the engine, and slowly race* it several times (10 times or less).
If the
ablnormal noise is eliminated by racing the engine, it
means that the air is released from the high-pressure
chamber of the lash adjuster and the function of the lash
adjuster is returned to normal.
l
Graclually increase the engine speed from the idle
speed to 3,000 rpm (for 30 seconds), and then
gradually slow down the engine to the idling speed (for
30 seconds).
NOTE 0
If the vehicle is parked on a slope for a long time, the
oil will be sometimes reduced in the lash adjuster, and
air will enter the high-pressure chamber when the
engine is started. 0
After the vehicle is parked for a long time, the oil will go
out of the oil passage. Since it takes a little time to
supply oil to the lash adjuster, air sometimes enters the
high-pressure chamber.

(3) If any abnormal noise IS not eliminated by racing, check the
lash adjuster.
@ Stop the engine.
@ Set the engine so that cylinder No. 1 is positioned at
the top dead centre of the compression.
@ Press the rocker arm at the area indicated by the+ arrow mark to check whether the rocker arm is lowered
or not.
@ Slowly turn the crankshaft 360 degrees clockwise.
@ In the same procedure as Step 0, check the rocker
arm at the area indicated by the
0 arrow mark.
@ If the rocker arm lowers easily when the part directly
above the rocker arm lash adjuster is pressed, the lash
adjuster is defective and must be replaced. When re-
placing the lash adjuster, bleed the air from all adjus-
ters and then assemble them. Then inspect with proce-
dures
@ to 0, and confirm that there are no abnormal-
ities
NOTE
lThe lash adjuster can be accurately checked for de-
fects with the leak down test.
l Refer to the engine service manual for the leak down test and lash adjuster air bleeding procedure.
If the rocker arm is extremely hard when pressed
down, the lash adjuster is normal, so look for a different
cause of abnormal sound.
COMPRESSION PRESSURE CHECK
MllFFAL
(1) Before inspection, verify that the engine oil, starter motor and battery are normal. Then, perform the following.
l Engine coolant temperature:
80- 95°C
(176- 203°F)
l Lights, electric cooling fan and accessories: OFF
l Transaxle:
P range
0 Steering wheel: Neutral position
(2) Disconnect the spark plug cable.
(3) Remove all the spark plugs
(4) Disconnect the connector of the distributor.
NOTE
This will prevent the engine control module from controll- ing the ignition and fuel injection.

(5) Cover the spark plug holes with a cloth, etc., and crank the engine. Then verify that no foreign material sticks to the
cloth, etc.
Caution
1. During cranking, be especially careful of the spark plug
installing hole.
2.Very hot water, oil, fuel, etc., which may have entered
the cylinder somehow, will violently spout through the spark plug hole if the compression is measured in the
entrapped state. This is very dangerous.

(8)
Set up the compression gauge in the spark plug mounting
hole.
Fully open the throttle valve, and cranking the engine,
measure the compression pressure.
Standard value:
<8VALVE>1,250 kPa (178 psi) [250-400 rpm]
< 1 Ei VALVE>
1,300 kPa (185 psi) [250-400 rpm]
Limit:
(8 VALVE>880 kPa (125 psi) [250-400 rpm]
[250-400 rpm]
Measure the compression pressure of each cylinder, and
verify that the pressure difference among the cylinders is
less than the limit value.
Limit: max. 100
kPa (14 psi)
(9) If a cylinder’s compression pressure or pressure difference IS outside
the limit, fill a small amount of engine oil through
the spark plug hole and repeat Items (7) and (8) above.
@ If the compression is increased when the oil is filled, the piston and/or cylinder wall may be worn or
damaged.
@ If the compression is not increased even though the oil is filled, the valve may be thermally seized, the valve
contact may be improper or pressure may leak at the
gasket.
(10) Connect the connector of the distributor.
(11) Install the spark plug and spark plug cable.
(12)Erase the diagnostic trouble code with the Scan tool or re-
connect the battery (-)
cable
10 seconds or more after it
was disconnected.
NOTE
This will erase the memory of the diagnostic trouble code
which
resu,lted from disconnection of the distributor con-
nector.
(1) Before inspection and adjustment, put the vehicle into the
followin~g state.
l Engine coolant temperature:
85-95°C (185-203°F)
l
Ligt-Its, electric, cooling fan, and accessories: OFF
l Transaxle: Neutral
(N or P for vehicles with an automa-
tic transaxle)
l Steering wheel: Neutral position
(2) Check that the idling revolution speed is normal.
