It is normal for an engi
ne to use oil. You may
need to add oil between the recommended oilchange 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 whichshows the minimum amo
unt of oil required,
remove the oil filler cap on the engine valvecover, and fill to within the “Good” range.

NOTE
If it is difficult to verify the oil level, wipeoff the dipstick and
reinsert it. Wait a
moment and then recheck the oil level bychecking the upper surfa
ce of the dipstick.

CAUTIONOverfilling will cause
oil aeration and loss of
oil pressure, which coul
d damage the engine.
WA R N I N GUsed engine oil is po
isonous, and can dam-
age your skin. Prolonged and repeatedcontact may cause serious skin disorders,including dermatitis and cancer. Do not letused oil touch your sk
in and wash thor-
oughly after working with it.Keep used oil out of
the reach of children.
NOTE
Engine oil consumption
is greatly influenced
by payload, engine speed, etc.3.0 L models

Mitsubishi Motors re
commends using only
engine oils with the ILSAC certification sym-bol on the front of the container.If you cannot find oils
with the ILSAC certi-
fication symbol, use an
API classification SN
oil with the following label.
This mark appears on the top of the oil con-tainer and tells you two important thingsabout the oil.Use engine oil with the proper thickness forthe outdoor temperatures where you will bedriving.

earlier replacement in accordance with theschedule in the “WARRANTY AND MAIN-TENANCE MANUAL”.NOTE

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 usuallystays full so there is no reason to remove theradiator cap (B) except when you check thecoolant 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 ofengine.If you need to add coolant often, or if thelevel in the reserve tank does not drop whenthe engine cools, the cooling system shouldbe pressure-tested for le
aks. Take your vehi-
cle to an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealeror a repair facility of
your choice for testing.
