(diesel-powered vehicle)
EM03BAOa
(1) Select engine oil of the proper SAE vis-
cosity number according to the atmo-
spheric temperature.
(2) Use engine oil conforming to the fol-
lowing classification:
•ACEA classification:
“For service B1, B2, B3 or B4”
•API classification:
“For service CD”or higher
NOTE
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
assembly.

Automatic transmission fluid*
EM05AEVa
The proper amount of automatic transmis-
sion fluid is essential to the life and opera-
tion of the automatic transmission. Either
insufficient fluid or excessive fluid could
cause transmission trouble. The transmis-
sion fluid filler port cap is equipped with a
dipstick. Use the following procedure to
check the fluid level.
1. Check the fluid level after the vehicle
has been driven enough to warm up the
transmission fluid.
2. Park the vehicle on a flat, level sur-
face and apply the parking brake.
3. With the engine idling and the brake
pedal fully depressed, move the trans-
mission selector lever through all the
positions from the“P”(PARK) to“D”
(DRIVE), stopping momentarily at each
position.4. Move the selector lever to the“N”
(NEUTRAL) or“P”(PARK) position.
5. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a
clean lint-free cloth.
6. Reinsert the dipstick as far as it goes.
7. Remove dipstick and read the oil level.
The fluid level should always be
between the two marks on the dip-
stick.
8. Use only the following transmission fluid
to ensure optimum transmission
performance:
“DIA QUEEN ATF SP III”.
WARNING
Do not spill the fluid onto a hot
exhaust manifold during topping up
or inspection, or a fire may occur.

Engine coolant
EM36A-Tb
A translucent coolant reserve tank is
located in the engine compartment. The
coolant level in this tank should be kept
between the“LOW”and“FULL”marks
when measured while the engine is cold .
The cooling system is a closed system and
normally the loss of coolant should be very
slight. A noticeable drop in the coolant level
could indicate leakage. If this occurs, have
the system checked at an authorized
MITSUBISHI dealer 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, remove the radiator cap and add
coolant until the level reaches the filler
neck.
WARNING
Do not open the radiator cap while
the engine is hot. The coolant sys-
tem is under pressure and any hot
coolant escaping could cause severe
burns.Anti-freezeThe engine coolant contains an ethylene
glycol anti-corrosion agent. The cylinder
head and water pump housing are cast alu-
minium alloy, and periodic changing of the
engine coolant is necessary to prevent cor-
rosion of these parts.
Use DIA QUEEN SUPER LONG LIFE
COOLANT or equivalent.
MITSUBISHI Genuine Coolant has excel-
lent protection against corrosion and rust
formation of all metals including alu-
minium and can avoid clogs in the radia-
tor, heater, cylinder head, engine block, etc.
Because of the necessity of this
anti-corrosion agent, the coolant must not
be replaced with plain water even in sum-
mer. The required concentration of
anti-freeze differs depending on the
expected ambient temperature.Ambient temperature
(minimum)°C–15–20–25–30–35–50
Anti-freeze
concentration %30 35 40 45 50 60
CAUTION
(1) Do not use alcohol or metha-
nol anti-freeze or any engine
coolants mixed with alcohol or
methanol anti-freeze. The use of
an improper anti-freeze can
cause corrosion of the alu-
minium components.
(2) For effective anti-corrosion and
anti-freeze performance, keep
the anti-freeze concentration
within the range of 30 to 60%.
Concentrations exceeding 60%
will result in a reduction of both
the anti-freeze and cooling per-
formance thus adversely affect-
ing the engine.
(3) Do not top up with water only.
Water by itself reduces the
rust-protective and anti-freeze
qualities of the coolant and has
a lower boiling point. It can also
cause damage to the cooling
system if it should freeze. Do not
use tapwater, as it can cause
corrosion and rust formation.
