PRECAUTIONS BEFORE SERVICE
GENERAL00-25
APPLICATION OF ANTI-CORROSION AGENTS
AND UNDERCOATS
M1001011000043
Do not to apply oil or grease to the heated oxygen sensor. If
applied, the sensor may malfunction. Protect the heated oxy-
gen sensor with a cover before applying anti-corrosion agent,
etc.
DIAGNOSTIC TOOL (MUT-III)M1001012200062
Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position
before disconnecting or connecting the diagnostic tool
(MUT-III).
NOTE: MUT-III trigger harness is not necessary when pushing
V.C.I. ENTER key.

LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE
GENERAL00-34
LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCEM1001001200336
Maintenance and lubrication service recommenda-
tions have been compiled to provide maximum pro-
tection for the vehicle owner's investment against all
reasonable types of driving conditions. Since these
conditions vary with the individual vehicle owner's
driving habits, the area in which the vehicle is oper-
ated and the type of driving to which the vehicle is
subjected, it is necessary to prescribe lubrication and
maintenance service on a time frequency as well as
mileage interval basis.
Oils, lubricants and greases are classified and
graded according to standards recommended by the
Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) and the Aus-
tralian Petroleum Institute (API).
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES
For Information on service maintenance refer to the
"Service handbook".
ENGINE OIL
Tests have shown that laboratory animals
develop skin cancer after prolonged contact with
used engine oil. Accordingly, the potential exists
for humans to develop a number of skin disor-
ders, including cancer, from such exposure to
used engine oil. Therefore, when changing
engine oil, be careful not to touch it as much as
possible. Protective clothing and gloves, that
cannot be penetrated by oil, should be worn. The
skin should be thoroughly washed with soap and
water, or use waterless hand cleaner, to remove
any used engine oil. Do not use petrol, thinners,
or solvents.Either of the following engine oils should be used:
1. Engine oil conforming to the ACEA classification:
"For service A1, A2 or A3.
2. Engine oil conforming to the API classification:
"For service SG" or higher.
FUEL USAGE STATEMENT
Using leaded petrol in this car will damage the
catalytic converters and heated oxygen sensors,
and affect the warranty coverage validity.
This vehicle must use unleaded petrol only.
This vehicle has a fuel filler tube which is especially
designed to accept only the smaller-diameter
unleaded petrol dispensing nozzle.
The 3.8L model is designed to operate on unleaded
petrol having an octane rating (DIN 51607) of 90
RON or higher.
.
PETROL CONTAINING ALCOHOL
Some petrol sold at service stations contain alcohol
although they may not be so identified.
Using fuels containing alcohol is not recommended
unless the nature of the blend can be determined as
being satisfactory, as follows.
Gasohol: A mixture of 10% ethanol and 90%
unleaded gasoline may be used in your vehicle. If
driveability problems are experienced as a result of
using gasohol, it is recommended that the vehicle be
operated on petrol.
Methanol: Do not use petrol containing methanol
(wood alcohol). Using this type of alcohol can result
in vehicle performance deterioration and damage
critical parts in the fuel system components. Fuel
system damage and performance problems resulting
from the use of petrol containing methanol may not
be covered by the new vehicle warranty.
MATERIALS ADDED TO FUEL
Indiscriminate use of fuel system cleaning agents
should be avoided. Many materials intended for gum
and varnish removal may contain highly active sol-
vents or similar ingredients that can be harmful to
gasket and diaphragm materials used in fuel system
component parts.

The temperature of the surface of the belt should be as
close as possible to underhood temperature.
Do not let any contaminants such as water or oil get
onto the microphone.
If strong gusts of wind blow against the microphone or
if there are any loud sources of noise nearby, the val-
ues measured by the microphone may not correspond
to actual values.
If the microphone is touching the belt while the mea-
surement is being made, the values measured by the
microphone may not correspond to actual values.
Do not take the measurement while the vehicle's engine
is running.
5. Hold special tool MB991668 (microphone) to the middle of
the drive belt between the pulleys (at the place indicated by
the arrow), about 10
20 mm (0.4 0.8 inch) away from the
rear surface of the belt and so that it is perpendicular to the
belt (within an angle of
15 degree angle).
6. Gently tap the middle of the belt between the pulleys (the
place indicated by the arrow) with your finger as shown in
the illustration, and check that the vibration frequency of the
belt is within the standard value.
Standard value:
NOTE: Because the frequency depends on the belt material,
confirm Part No. shown on the reverse of the belt.

1. Check for holes and exhaust gas leaks due to damage,
corrosion, etc.
2. Check the joints and connections for looseness and exhaust
gas leaks.
3. Check the rubber hangers and brackets for damage.
9. ENGINE OIL (CHANGE)M1001002600360
Use the specified oil. (Refer to P.00-35.)
Use care as oil could be hot.
1. After warming up the engine, remove the oil filler cap.
2. Remove the drain plug to allow the engine oil to drain.
3. Install a new drain plug gasket so that it faces in the
direction shown in the illustration, and then tighten the drain
plug to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 39
5 Nm (29 3 ft-lb)
4. Pour new engine oil in through the oil filler hole.
Specified Engine Oil:
To ta l q u a n t i t y :
<3.8L Engine> 4.6 Litres
5. Install the engine oil filler cap.
6. Start the engine and run it at idle for a few minutes.
7. Pull out the oil dipstick slowly and check that the oil level is
within the marks on the oil dipstick.
8. Check that the oil is not excessively dirty, that there is no
coolant or petrol mixed in, and that it has sufficient viscosity.
10. ENGINE OIL FILTER (REPLACE)M1001002700345
The 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 is capable of withstand-
ing a pressure of 1,800 kPa (261 psi) are high quality filters.

Engine Oil Filter Selection
This vehicle is equipped with a full-flow, throw-away oil filter.
The same type of 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.
Make sure that any replacement filter used on this vehicle is a
high-quality filter. The filter must withstand a pressure of 1,800
kPa (261 psi) [manufacturer's specifications] to avoid filter and
ultimately engine damage. The Genuine Mitsubishi high-quality
filter and is strongly recommended for use on this vehicle.
Any replacement oil filter should be installed in accordance with
the oil filter manufacturer's installation instructions.
.
Oil Filter Replacement
Use care as oil could be hot.
1. Drain the engine oil by removing the oil drain plug.
2. Use an oil filter wrench to remove the engine oil filter.
3. Clean the filter bracket side mounting surface and ensure
the old O-ring has been removed.
4. Apply a small amount of engine oil to the O-ring of the new
oil filter.
5. Where the oil filter O-ring touches the oil pan flange, tighten
the oil filter to the specified torque using the
commercially-available tool.
Tightening torque:
: Approximately 3/4 turn [14
2 Nm]
6. Add new engine oil through the oil filler.

TRANSMISSION FLUID CHECK
1. Drive the vehicle until the transmission fluid temperature
rises to the normal operating temperature [70
80C (158
