Fluid Specifications

Engine Oil Type Na:

API SG/SH/SJ, SAE 10W-30 or 10W-40 (check manual for specific viscosity based on climate). Synthetic recommended for turbocharged models.

Engine Oil Type Turbo:

API SG/SH/SJ, SAE 5W-30 or 10W-30 Synthetic recommended for turbocharged models. Higher oil pressure might be needed.

Coolant Type:

Mitsubishi Genuine Long Life Coolant (LLC) or equivalent HOAT coolant, typically a 50/50 mix with distilled water.

Known Issues

Turbocharger Failure:

Turbocharger seals and wastegates can fail on high-mileage turbocharged models, often due to improper maintenance or heat soak.

Timing Belt Failure:

The 6G72 DOHC engine is an interference engine; a broken timing belt will cause catastrophic engine damage. Timely replacement is crucial.

Suspension Bushings:

Worn suspension bushings (control arms, sway bars) can lead to poor handling and ride quality.

Electronic Failures:

Due to the complexity of features (active aero, 4WS, AWD), electronic control units and sensors can be prone to failure over time.

Clutch Wear:

The clutch can wear out, especially on manual transmission models driven aggressively. Dual-mass flywheel issues can also arise.

Cooling System Leaks:

Radiator hoses, water pump seals, and heater cores can develop leaks over time.

📚 Vehicle History
