1.
| warning |
When removing the radiator cap, use care to avoid contact
with hot engine coolant or steam. Place a shop towel over the radiator cap and turn the radiator cap
anti-clockwise a little to let the pressure escape through the vinyl tube. After relieving the
steam pressure, remove the radiator cap by slowly turning it anti-clockwise.
|
Drain the engine coolant from the radiator, heater core and engine after unplugging the
radiator drain plug and removing the radiator cap.
|
|
2.Drain the engine coolant in the water jacket by unplugging the cylinder block drain plug.
3.Remove the radiator condenser tank and drain the engine coolant.
4.Drain the engine coolant then clean the path of the engine coolant by injecting water
into the radiator from the radiator cap area.
|
|
5.Replace the gasket, and tighten the cylinder block drain plug to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 25 ± 3 N·m
6.Securely tighten the radiator drain plug.
7.Reinstall the radiator condenser tank.

8.
| caution |
Do not use alcohol or methanol anti-freeze or any engine coolants mixed
with alcohol or methanol anti-freeze. The use of an improper anti-freeze can cause corrosion
of the aluminium components.
|
By referring to the section on engine coolant, select an appropriate concentration for
safe operating temperature within the range of 30 to 60%. Use special tool LLC changer (MB991871)
to refill the engine coolant up to the top of the radiator port. A convenient mixture is a 50% water
and 50% antifreeze solution (freezing point: -31°C).
Recommended antifreeze: MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE
SUPER LONG LIFE COOLANT PREMIUM or equivalent*
| note |
*similar high quality ethylene glycol based non-silicate, non-amine, non-nitrate
and non-borate coolant with long life hybrid organic acid technology.
|
Quantity: 6.0 L (including 0.65 L in the radiator condense tank)
| note |
For how to use special tool MB991871, refer to its manufacturer’s instructions.
|
9.Tighten the radiator cap securely.
10.Remove the radiator condenser tank cap, and add the engine coolant up to the "FULL"
line.
11.Turn the A/C switch to OFF position to start the engine and warm up until
the radiator fan operates.
| note |
This work is to open the thermostat fully.
|
12.Rev the engine several times and then stop it. Check that there are no engine coolant
leaks.
13.Remove the radiator cap with the engine cool, and then refill the engine coolant up
to the top of the radiator port.
14.Tighten the radiator cap securely.
15.
| caution |
Do not overfill the radiator condenser tank.
