In order to prevent the metal components in the cooling system from corrosion and significantly reduce the likelihood of a component failure, Mitsubishi antifreeze coolants use an ethylene glycol-based composition with specific inhibitors selected by the vehicle engineering teams.
Specifically formulated for all Mitsubishi engines, Genuine Mitsubishi Pre-mixed Anit-rust Anti-freeze/Super Long Life Coolant is a new generation premium engine coolant with an ethylene glycol basis that offers exceptional corrosion protection and complies with all Mitsubishi warranty criteria.
The pale blue color of Mitsubishi Super Long Life Coolant makes it easy to recognize.
It is used straight from the jar without further dilution after being pre-mixed 50/50 with distilled water.
Every 60,000 miles or every 60 months following the initial replacement after 90,000 miles or 90 months.

What type of coolant does Mitsubishi employ?
The following MITSUBISHI SUPER LONG LIFE COOLANT performance is excellent:
Pre-mixed SLLC is recommended for your car to prevent any issues brought on by the traditional method’s inadequate dilution mixing with water.
How do I determine the color of my coolant?
The truth is that coolant type cannot be accurately determined by coolant color. OAT coolants, for instance, are often orange, yellow, red, or purple in color. Most HOAT coolants are orange and yellow in color. IAT coolant that is older is now green. Manufacturer-sold coolants, such as the blue coolant sold by Honda, can further complicate problems.
Because of this, you should follow the instructions on the bottle and not rely solely on the color you’re pouring. If the description on the container confuses you, look up the appropriate coolant in your owner’s manual.
But if you forget the procedure after a few years, none of this will assist. In order to be ready when your engine ultimately requires flushing a few years down the road, keep track of the coolant you used and when.
Is it possible to mix green and blue coolant, Mitsubishi?
Registered. Red and green, blue and red, and green and blue cannot be combined. Red has supplanted green, so if you have green, flush it out completely and replace it with red.
What distinguishes pink coolant from blue coolant?
Don’t combine them; pink has a longer shelf life (5 years) For some reason, combining the two negates the benefits of the pink, thus you will still only have a two-year life span. Blue is considered normal. Since 5 liters of pink premix only cost about 12 pounds, it is advisable to simply perform a full coolant drop.
What happens if you use antifreeze that is the incorrect color?
The performance of the car can be hampered if the wrong coolant is used or if several types are mixed together. Additionally, the radiator’s corrosion may worsen. It’s crucial to remember that color alone cannot accurately identify the type of coolant you should use. The radiator, water pump, radiator hoses, cylinder gasket, and other components can suffer corrosion and other issues as a result of using the incorrect coolant. Having a qualified auto mechanic handle your vehicle’s maintenance is the greatest method to guarantee that you obtain the right coolant.
Can I substitute green coolant for orange?
Mixing two distinct antifreeze colors or types is never a smart idea. While combining two recipes won’t result in any explosive or harmful reactions, it may cause your coolant to become a sluggish chemical brew that won’t be able to pass through your cooling system as intended. In order to function properly, coolant must be fluid, and a thick coolant could block the cooling systems and cause other potential problems in the engine of your car. The final word? Don’t combine antifreeze in different colors.
Can I substitute green coolant for red?
Because antifreeze is antifreeze, you might imagine that mixing two different types of antifreeze won’t harm your car. Wrong! Although green and red antifreeze are created from different compounds, they function radically differently even if they are ultimately intended to accomplish the same task.
In actuality, combining green and red antifreeze would result in a thick gel that wouldn’t effectively flow through your cooling system. This may lead to overheating and damage to various cooling system components in your car.
Don’t even try to drive your car if you accidentally mix these two types of coolant together. As soon as you can, flush your cooling system (we’ll show you how to do this later in this post) if you want to have any chance of saving your cooling system.
Is blue coolant superior to green coolant?
Nissan Green Coolant requires replacement every four years or 96,000 kilometers, which is a shorter service frequency than Nissan Blue (60,000 miles).
999MP-AF000P (Concentrate) (Concentrate)
This is the concentrated form of Nissan Green coolant’s component number. This indicates that it must be blended 50/50 with distilled water before usage.
Can the Two Coolants Be Mixed?
Nissan Green and Blue coolants can be used together, but be sure to first dilute Green in distilled water and then use. The mixture’s lifespan will be equal to that of the Green coolant, which is 4 years or 96,000 kilometers/60,000 miles, if you combine the coolants.
Which is BestNissan Green or Blue Coolant?
There really isn’t much of a difference in terms of performance benefits because both coolants will function equally well in your Nissan. Since Nissan Green is concentrated and hence somewhat less expensive, we personally think that replacing the coolant more frequently is better for preventative maintenance.
To be on the safe side, we would personally change both coolants a little bit earlier than the suggested service intervals.
