It is normal for an engi
ne to use oil. You may
need to add oil between the recommended oil change intervals. Befo
re starting the engine,
check the engine oil leve
l. Refill if necessary.
To check the oil level, remove the dipstick, wipe it off, and gently
reinsert it all the way.
Slowly pull the dipsti
ck straight out and
check the oil level by checking the upper sur- face of the dipstick. Th
e oil level must not go
above the line on the dipstick. If the level does not reach the line which shows the minimum amo
unt of oil required,
remove the oil filler cap on the engine valve cover, and fill to within the “Good” range.

The engine coolant rese
rve 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 theFULL 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 Genui
ne Coolant provides
excellent protection against corrosion andrust formation on all metals, including alumi- num, and prevents clogs in some parts of 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 shouldbe pressure-tested for le
aks. Take your vehi-
cle to an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of
your choice for testing.
