Approximately
100 N (22 lb)

Power steering
oil pump pulley

Apply approximately 100 N (22 lb) of force to the middle of the
drive belt between the pulleys (at the place indicated by the
arrow) and check that the amount of deflection is within the
standard value.

Standard value: 11.9 - 15.6 mm (0.47 - 0.61 in)

Power steering drive belt tension adjustment

If the tension or deflection is outside the standard value, adjust
by the following procedure.

Adjusting bolt

Lock nut

Loosen the tensioner pulley lock nut.

Adjust  the  belt  tension  to  the  standard  value  by  turning  the
adjusting  bolt.  The  tension  will  increase  when  turning  the
adjusting  bolt  clockwise,  and  decrease  when  turning
counterclockwise.

Tighten the lock nut to the specified torque.

Tightening torque: 47 ± 11 N·m (35 ± 8 ft-lb)

Check after turning the crankshaft one or more rotations
clockwise.

Check the belt deflection amount and tension, and readjust if
necessary.

When the belt tension is adjusted by measuring the belt
deflection, adjust it with a tool for vibration frequency
measurement or tension measurement afterward.

Check the rubber hangers and brackets for damage.

10. ENGINE OIL (CHANGE)

M10001000026USA0000010000

Start the engine and allow it to warm up until the temperature
of the coolant reaches 80 - 90°C (176 - 194°F).

Use care as oil could be hot.

Remove the engine oil filler cap.

Remove the drain plug to drain oil.

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 N·m (29 ± 3 ft-lb)

ZC601066 AA00

Refill the specified quantity of oil.

Specified Engine Oil: Engine oils displaying ILSAC
certification symbol ("Starburst" symbol) or
conforming to the API classification SL, SL/CF or
higher
Total quantity: 4.3 dm3(4.5 quarts)

NOTE:

SAE 5W-20 engine oil is strongly recommended for

optimum fuel economy and cold starting. If the ambient
temperature is not within the usable temperature range of
SAE 5W-30 shown in the above illustration, use SAE 10W-30
engine oil.

Install the engine oil filler cap.

Oil dipstick (engine cover side)

Pull out the oil dipstick, clean off the engine oil on the oil
dipstick, and then reinsert the oil dipstick.

Pull out the oil dipstick, and check the engine oil level is within
the marks on one side of the oil dipstick (engine cover side).

NOTE:

｠

Check might be difficult shortly after the engine stopping or
the engine oil replacement.

｠

If difficult, take some time (approx. 30 sec.) and try again.

｠

Information label indicating the engine oil check process on
the rocker cover.

Check that the engine oil is not excessively dirty, that there is
no coolant or gasoline mixed in, and that it is sufficiently thick
and slippery.

Start the engine and run it at idle for a few minutes.

11.

Check the level range indicated on the dipstick.

11. ENGINE OIL FILTER (REPLACE)

M10001000027USA0000010000

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 withstanding
a pressure of 1,765 kPa (256 psi) are high quality filters and are
recommended as follows:

Mitsubishi Oil Filter Part Number: MD332687,
MD365876, MD360935 or equivalent

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 1,765
kPa (256 psi) [manufacturer's specifications] to avoid filter and
ultimately engine damage. The following is a high-quality filter
and is strongly recommended for use on this vehicle: Mitsubishi
Engine Oil Filter Part number MD332687, MD365876 and
MD360935.
Any replacement oil filter should be installed in accordance with
the oil filter manufacturer's installation instructions.

Oil Filter Replacement

Start the engine and allow it to warm up until the temperature
of the coolant reaches 80 - 90°C (176 - 194°F)

Use care as oil could be hot.

Remove the engine oil filler cap.

Remove the drain plug to drain oil.

Drive the vehicle until the transmission fluid temperature rises
to the normal operating temperature [70 - 80°C (158 - 176°F)].

NOTE:

The transmission fluid temperature is measured

with scan tool MB991958.

NOTE:

If it takes some amount of time until the

transmission fluid reaches its normal operating
temperature [70 - 80°C (158 - 176°F)], check the
transmission fluid level by referring to the left
diagram.

Park the vehicle on a level surface.

Move the selector lever through all positions to fill the torque
converter and the hydraulic circuits with fluid, and then move
the selector lever to the "N" position.

After wiping off any dirt around the dipstick, remove the
dipstick and check the condition of the transmission fluid.

NOTE:

If the transmission fluid smells as if it is burnt,

it means that the transmission fluid has been
contaminated by fine particles from the bushings and
friction materials. Transaxle overhaul and cooler line
flushing may be necessary.
