When draining oil or changing the oil filter, wear gloves. Hot engine oil and parts may cause burns.
Do not dump waste oil. It is forbidden by law. Consult your Mitsubishi dealer for disposal of waste oil.
Change the engine oil, oil filter and bypass oil filter at the same time.
Also checking and analyzing the oil properties is recommended when changing the engine oil.
Do not reuse the oil filter element, as it is a paper type. When replacing filters, always replace gasket with new
ones.
To crank the engine, shut off the fuel supply to the
engine and operate the starters.
When conducting the above cranking operation, also
check the items to be inspected for the cooling sys-
tem by cranking.
