GENERAL - Maintenance Service00-39ogPOO268. ENGINE OIL FILTER (Change)
MOOEAEJThe quality of replacement filters varies considerably. Only high
quality filters should be used to assure most efficient service.
Genuine oil filters require that the filter be capable of
withstanding a pressure of 256 psi are high quality filters and
are recommended as follows:
Oil Filter Part No.
MITSUBISHI Genuine Parts: MD136790
ENGINE OIL FILTER SELECTIONThis vehicle is equipped with a full-flow, throw-away oil filter.
The same type of replacement filter is recommended as a
replacement filter for this vehicle. It is possible, particularly 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 (1,765
kpa) (manufacturer’s
specifications) to avoid filter and engine damage. The following
is a highquality filter and is strongly recommended for use on
this vehicle: Mitsubishi Engine Oil Filter P/N MD136790.
Any replacement oil filter should be installed in accordance with
the oil filter manufacturer’s installation instructions.
(1) Remove the engine oil filter by using the oil filter wrench.
(2) Clean the oil filter mounting surface of the oil filter bracket.
(3) Coat engine oil to the O-ring of new oil filter.
(4) Turn the oil filter by hand and install to the filter bracket.
NOTEThe oil filter tightening torque is 14 Nm (11
ft.lbs.1.(5) Start and run engine and check for engine oil leaks.
(6) After stopping engine, check oil level and refill as neces-
sary.
9. MANUAL TRANSAXLE (Inspect oil level)
MOOSBCGInspect each component for evidence of leakage, and check
the oil level by remaining the filler plug. If the oil is contami-
nated, it is necessary to replace it with new oil.
(1) With the vehicle parked at a level place, remove the filler
plug.

Start’the engine and warm up until the thermostat opens.
11. Race the engine up to around 3,000 rpm several times, then
stop the engine.,12. When the enkine has cooled down, remove the radiator cap
L/and add coolant up to the brim. Add coolant to the reserve
tank up to the FULL line.

1. Lift up the vehicle.
2.Loosen the radiator drain plug, remove the drain plug from
the rear bank of the engine and remove the radiator cap to
discharge coolant.
3. Follow the same steps 3 to 12 above.
12.DISC BRAKE PADS (Inspect for wear)MOOSBFDCheck for fluid contamination and wear. Replace complete set
of pads if defective.
Caution
The pads for the right and left wheels should be replaced atIIthe same time. Never “split” or intermix brake pad sets. AllUfour pads must be replaced as a complete set.
Thickness of lining (A):
Limit2.0 mm (.08 in.)
13. BRAKE HOSES (Check for deterioration or
leaks)
MOOSBHBInspection of brake hoses and tubing should be included in all
brake service operations.
The hoses should be checked for:
1.Correct length, severe surface cracking, pulling, scuffing or
worn spots. (If the fabric casing of the hoses is exposed by
cracks or abrasion in the rubber hose cover, the hoses
should be replaced. Eventual deterioration of the hose may
occur with possible bursting failure.)
2. Faulty installation, casing twisting or interference with
wheel, tire or chassis.
14. BALL JOINT AND STEERING LINKAGE SEALS
(Inspect for grease leaks and damage)
MOOSglC1. These components, which are permanently lubricated at
the factory, do not require periodic lubrication. Damaged
seals and boots should be replaced to prevent leakage or
contamination of the grease.
2.Inspect the dust cover and boots for proper sealing, leakageIdand damage. Replace them if defective.

MANIFOLD VACUUM INSPECTION
MllFNAR
(1) The vehicle should be repaired as follows before the
inspection.
lEngine coolant temperature: 80 - 95°C (176 - 205°F)‘dl Lights, electric cooling fan, and accessories: OFF
l Transaxle: Neutral
(P for A/T)l Steering wheel: neutral position
(2) Connect a tachometer. (Refer to P.l l-l 3.)
(3) Disconnect the vacuum hose from the nipple for taking off
fuel pressure regulator vacuum from the air intake plenum.
(4) Conncet a three-way joint between the removed vacuum
hose and the nipple and connect a vacuum gauge to the
joint.
(5) Start the engine and check that idle speed is within the
standard value range.
(6) Check the manifold vacuum.
Standard value:
*
Approx. 520 mmHg (20 in.Hg)
Approx. 495 mmHg (19 in.Hg)LASH ADJUSTERS CHECK
Ml 1 FEAFIf an abnormal noise is heard from the lash adjusters, check as
follows.
(1) After warming up the engine, stop it.
(2) While installed to the cylinder head, press the part where
the rocker arm contacts the lash adjuster at the very top. If
the adjuster is normal, the part pressed will feel very hard.
d
(3) If it easily moves all the way downward when pressed,
there is a malfunction of the lash adjuster and it should be
replaced with a new one.
(4) If it feels spongy or elastic, probably oil with air mixed in it
has entered the lash adjuster. Check whether the amount
of oil is too much or is not enough and the cause of air
becoming mixed into the oil is a damaged oil screen or oil
screen gasket.
(5) After repairing the cause of the air leak, warm up the engine
and then drive the vehicle at low speed for a while. Stop the
engine and leave it off for a few minutes; then restart the
engine and drive at low speed. Repeat this procedure
several times during the course of about one hour so as to
remove the air from the oil.

CLEANINGM13FICS
(1) Start the engine, warm it up until engine coolant tempera-ture rises to
80°C (176”F), and stop the engine.
(2) Disconnect the air intake hose at the throttle body side.
(3) Put a plug in the inlet of bypass passage in the throttle
body.
CautionNever allow cleaning agent to flow into the bypass
passage.(4) Spray cleaning agent from the intake port of the throttle
body to the valve and leave as it is for 5 minutes or so.
(5) Start the engine and race it several times. Then, run it idlefor approx. one minute.
NOTE
If the engine idle speed becomes unstable (and fails in theworst case) after plugging the bypass passage, run the
engine with the throttle valve slightly opened.
(6) If the deposit cannot be removed from the throttle valve,
repeat steps (4) and (5).
(7) Disconnect the plug from the inlet of the bypass passage.(8) Install the air ‘intake hose.
(9) Use a multi-use tester to erase the self-diagnosis code ordisconnect the battery ground cable for more than
IOseconds and then connect it again.
(lO)Adjust the basic idle speed (speed adjusting screw). (Referto
P.13-31.)

lThe ignition switch-ST inputs a high signal to the engine control unit while the engine is cranking. Theengine control unit provides fuel injection control, etc., at engine startup based on this signal.
lWhen the ignition switch is set to START, the battery voltage at cranking is applied through the ignitionswitch to the engine control unit, which detects that the engine is cranking.
