Which shade of coolant does Mitsubishi employ?
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.
Can I substitute blue coolant for pink?
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 is coolant in blue?
posted on March 17, 2021 The only possible meaning of a blue engine coolant temperature signal is that your coolant, or antifreeze, is too cold. In fact, the temperature is so low that it’s possible for your radiator to freeze up and prevent your engine from starting if it gets too cold outside.
What type of engine coolant is used in my car?
You’ll need to discover the appropriate coolant when it’s time to top off or do a full system flush. If every manufacturer used the same coolant, it would be convenient, but they don’t. Inorganic Additive Technology (IAT), Organic Acid Technology (OAT), and Hybrid Organic Acid Technology are the three primary forms of coolant that automakers utilize (HOAT).
Most vintage vehicles employ IAT. It is far less effective than more recent formulae and must be replaced every two years or 24,000 miles. OAT is one of those more recent mixtures. This formula is used in General Motors vehicles, which typically need to be changed after five years or 50,000 miles. Finally, HOAT is a derivative of OAT and, unless otherwise specified, requires the same time change interval.
Visit your car’s dealership to ensure you’re buying the appropriate coolant for the task. Your precise make and model’s recommended coolant will be sold, and it will be the right one. The coolant is frequently marked with the name of the vehicle it will be used in.
For instance, all of Honda’s dealers sell Type 2 antifreeze/coolant. Many others, like BMW and Volkswagen, operate in a similar manner.
Though not all manufacturers do this. All GM vehicles come equipped with a system called Dex-Cool. Ford utilizes Motorcraft in contrast.
You should be aware that almost every current coolant jug you come across has already been diluted. In the past, coolant was usually sold as pure coolant, which required manual water dilution. Of course, the pre-diluted product is more practical, but you wind up spending much more for less coolant.
