According to the manufacturer's recommendation, the coolant should be replaced after 4 years of operation or 60 thousand km (whichever comes first). In addition, if the coolant has changed color to a reddish color, it should be replaced immediately, since such a change indicates that inhibitory additives have been developed and the liquid has become aggressive towards the parts of the cooling system.

Coolant replacement should only be done when the engine is cold.

To replace you will need:

Antifreeze 6 l

14mm socket, cardan, extension and wrench or ratchet, pliers.

Slowly and carefully turn the radiator cap counterclockwise and remove it

There is a drain cock located at the bottom of the radiator

Place a thin tube over the drain valve. Place the other end of the tube in any container to collect old liquid.

Open the tap on the radiator and drain the fluid.

Disconnect the hoses on the expansion tank by first squeezing and sliding the clamps with pliers.

The drain plug on the block is not visible, you can only feel it. It is located next to the oil pressure sensor, behind the engine. To unscrew it you will need a 14mm socket, a cardan and a wrench.

Drain the fluid from the cylinder block

Remove expansion tank by simply pulling it up

Remove the body half air filter and disconnect one of the throttle body heating hoses by squeezing the clamp securing it with pliers.

After draining the liquid, it is advisable to rinse the system with distilled water. For this we close drain plug on the block, close the radiator drain valve, put it in place and connect the expansion tank. Fill the radiator with distilled water until it flows from the throttle heating fitting. Afterwards, we put this fitting in place.

Start the engine with the radiator cap removed. Warm it up until the fans come on. Then turn off and repeat the entire draining process, with the exception of the expansion tank.

After flushing, fill the system with fresh fluid. It is necessary to pour slowly, in a thin stream. The throttle body heating hose must be removed. After liquid flows from this hose or from the fitting, the hose must be connected in place and clamped with a clamp.

Attention! To avoid burns, allow the engine to cool before draining.

To better remove air from the system, slightly raise the left side of the car with a jack. Then the fittings on the throttle assembly will become the highest point of the system. To better fill the system without air locks, periodically press the radiator hoses with your hand.

Add fluid to the radiator until it begins to flow from its neck into the hose to the expansion tank. Close the radiator cap tightly.

We connect the fitting. Fill the expansion tank with liquid up to the “F” mark and warm up the engine until the fans turn on.

After cooling, bring the coolant level up to level.

Replacing antifreeze Mitsubishi Lancer 9

To change antifreeze on Lancer 9, you need to prepare the appropriate components and tools:

• Combination pliers.
• Head 14 with extension tube and ratchet mechanism.
• When flushing the system, prepare about 10 liters of distilled water.
• Antifreeze volume 6 liters.

Below are the instructions for replacing antifreeze in Mitsubisi Lancer 9. We will drain the antifreeze when the engine is completely cool.

Step 1
We take out the radiator cap. It is strictly forbidden to perform the procedure immediately after the engine has been stopped. Wait at least half an hour for the coolant to cool. After all, the risk of burns increases significantly due to high blood pressure.

Step 2
Dump the tank using coolant.

Step 3
Open the drain valve.

To drain the liquid from it, we install a special manual device.

Basically, both caps won't be needed until the end of the whole process.

Step 4
Now switch to the antifreeze located in the block. There is a special drainage hole, which is located a millimeter from the pressure sensor.

Don't look for a cork look, but you won't see it. Perform the action by touch. For this we need a tool. head for 14 and, if necessary, an extension, as it is quite difficult to unscrew.

Step 5
Antifreeze is drained from the expansion tank during the last stroke. To do this, you need to compress the pipe using a yoke, pushing it to the side, removing it.

Step 6
We pull out the expansion vessel, which is secured with a simple lock. It's enough to just pull it up.

Step 7
We install all the plugs back and fill them with distilled water for cleaning. You can't mess it up, but wait until it spills through the hose. Run the engine a little, after closing all the holes. Heat to required temperature. Once the fans are running, turn off the car and then drain everything again. We are waiting for the water to cool down first. For the first time you see the changed color from the previous antifreeze.

Step 8
You can now safely refill with new antifreeze. As a rule, 5 liters is enough for a tank. Heat it to the required temperature and turn it off again. We open the hood and see the presence of stripes on the connecting pipes. If this is not the case, the process of replacing antifreeze on a Mitsubishi Lancer 9 can be considered complete.

Replacement of technical operating fluids

Replacing engine coolant

The engine cooling system in any car is designed on the principle of a closed cycle of fluid circulation using a water pump (pump) from the engine through the radiator back to the engine. The coolant heats up in the engine due to the combustion process in the cylinders. For cooling, the heated liquid passes through the radiator, due to the oncoming air of a moving car, or due to forced cooling fans, the coolant, when cooled, flows back into the engine.

Due to the fact that a car is an outdoor animal and lives on the street in winter as well as in summer, ordinary water-based liquid in a car in winter will simply freeze and therefore modern engines Antifreeze and antifreeze liquids are used, which remain liquid even in fifty degrees below zero.

For reliable operation of the car, the coolant must be changed in a timely manner, since the working properties of the antifreeze are lost during operation and the engine cooling system ceases to fulfill its tasks, and the decomposition products of the coolant clog the system and reduce permeability and heat transfer. Modern car manufacturers are developing cooling systems that use only certain fluids, the mixing of which will lead to failure of the entire engine. Therefore, topping up and replacing antifreeze must be performed only in technical centers specializing in certain brands of cars. Sometimes the use of low-quality antifreeze, which is replaced in garages or outside specialized technical centers, leads to the destruction of one of the main components of the pump cooling system. And a malfunction noticed at the wrong time entails overheating of the engine, and we won’t even tell you what they do with an overheated engine, because if you still read to these words, you care about the engine of your car and, accordingly, will not allow connivance.

Even if you decide to change or add coolant (antifreeze) yourself, or contact non-specialists, be sure to refer to the service documentation that comes with the car for information, or call the specialists of our technical center by phone: 661-71-64 and we will definitely advise you and even be able to sell you the required amount of antifreeze.

Today, according to the type of anti-corrosion additives, it is customary to distinguish between carboxylate and silicate antifreezes.

• The first ones contain organic-based corrosion inhibitors. Carboxylate antifreezes are adsorbed only in places of corrosion formation and form a protective layer, the thickness of which does not exceed 0.1 microns. This type of antifreeze has a longer service life - up to five years and more effective cleaning properties. This feature allows you to avoid flushing when changing coolant.
• The use of silicate antifreeze requires complete coverage of the internal surface. These liquids are colored blue and green colors. Mixing the mentioned types of antifreeze is strictly prohibited.

Manufacturers often recommend replacing the coolant after 60 thousand kilometers or after 4 years of car operation, whichever comes first. Immediate replacement of the coolant is important when the color changes to reddish, since the antifreeze has become aggressive to the parts of the cooling system due to the production of inhibitory additives.

Step-by-step procedure for replacing antifreeze in Mitsubishi cars

Replacement should only be made by idling engine. Be careful as antifreeze is toxic. The radiator tank cap must be tightly closed when starting the engine, otherwise coolant will flow out from under a loose cap due to high pressure cooling system when the engine is running.

1. Place your car on a horizontal, level platform.
2. Unscrew the tank cap and remove the radiator cap. On the right side of the lower radiator tank there is a drain valve hole. Place a container under it and drain the liquid from the radiator.
3. Before draining the antifreeze, you do not have to remove the mudguard, in which case you will have to prevent the liquid from splashing under the car.
4. Squeeze the clamp securing the lower radiator hose with pliers and slide the clamp along the hose. Remove the hose and drain the antifreeze into a prepared container.
5. One of the throttle assembly heating hoses should be removed by squeezing the clamp securing it with pliers to ensure complete drainage of antifreeze from the system and to ensure the elimination of air during refueling.
6. The next step is time to install the lower radiator hose and close the drain valve.
7. Next, the cooling system must be filled by pouring antifreeze into the radiator until it begins to splash out of the fitting and from the removed valve. As soon as the liquid begins to flow out, the hose will need to be put in place and secured with a clamp.
8. Next, antifreeze must be added to the radiator until it flows to the expansion tank through the hose from the neck. Be sure to close the cap tightly. The fluid should be filled until it reaches the “F” mark.

At the final stage, start the engine and warm it up until the fan turns on. Stop the engine and check that the coolant level is correct. If necessary, antifreeze must be added.

Mitsubishi Lancer is a car from Mitsubishi Motors with a very long history. The production of the first Lancers began back in 1973, then these cars were produced under different names in different countries and at different times.

Since 1992, Mitsubishi Motors, simultaneously with the “civilian” version, has been producing a sports version of the car - Lancer Evolution.

Over the entire production period, the total number of Mitsubishi Lancers produced exceeded 8 million, so the model is one of the world's twenty most popular cars.

The first six generations of cars belonged to segment B (“small cars”) according to European classification. The seventh and three subsequent generations moved to category C (“medium cars”). The last, tenth generation appeared in 2007 and is still produced to this day.

Mitsubishi Lancer X attracts with its daring sporty appearance and “promise of power”, it gains fans mainly among young people no older than 30 years old.

Modern cars for the most part are not distinguished by structural simplicity. Even simple technical manipulations with such machines are “dancing with tambourines.” How about doing maintenance and minor repairs to the Mitsubishi Lancer 10 yourself? Is this real?

The owner can replace all the working fluids on the Lancer 10 himself; it’s very simple.

Coolant

Lancer X needs to change antifreeze every four years. This procedure is most conveniently done on a pit/overpass. To avoid getting burned in the process, you need to drain the fluid while the engine is cool.

Drain the coolant

Unscrew the cap on the radiator and open the expansion tank. Then through the hole in the protection engine compartment(right) open the radiator drain valve. Place a container under the drain spout and let the liquid drain.

Now it’s time for the cylinder block coolant. At the lower radiator pipe, remove the water hose and drain the antifreeze from the engine jacket.

All that remains is to drain the liquid from the expansion tank. Using pliers, squeeze the clamp on the hose, move it, then remove the hose itself. By pulling up, remove the expansion tank. Pour the liquid out of it and rinse with water.

To clean the drain circuit, pour water into the radiator (through the cap) and wait until it drains.

Tighten the drain valve on the radiator tightly. Connect the hose to the lower radiator pipe. We install the expansion tank in its original place.

Filling with coolant

Fill the radiator cap with antifreeze recommended by the car manufacturer to the very top. Tighten the lid tightly. Add coolant through the filler neck of the expansion tank to the “FULL” mark.

“Opening” the thermostat

Turn off the air conditioning (the A/C switch should be in the “OFF” position), and set the heater temperature regulator to maximum. We start the engine and warm it up until the fan on the radiator turns on. We increase the speed several times and then turn off the engine. We check the system for leaks.

We wait for the engine to cool down and add antifreeze through the radiator cap to the top. Tighten the lid tightly. Fill the expansion tank with coolant to “FULL”.

Motor oil

If the car is used under normal conditions, then the engine oil needs to be replaced annually (or every 15 thousand km).

Drain the oil

In a car installed on an overpass or pit, warm up the engine (the coolant should heat up to 80-90 C). Remove the oil filler cap on the engine.

Place a container for old oil under the crankcase oil pan, then unscrew the drain plug (with a 13mm wrench) and let the oil drain.

Replacement oil filter

The filter needs to be updated along with the oil. Despite the dense arrangement of elements under the hood, getting to the filter is difficult, but not impossible. However, it’s easier to go from below: unscrew the bolts that secure it plastic protection engine compartment, and then remove it (or move it forward).

We unscrew the oil filter with a special wrench and remove it. Wipe the mounting surface of the filter with a clean rag. Lubricate the sealing ring on the new filter with fresh motor oil. First, screw the filter in by hand until the O-ring comes into contact with seat. And then we “tighten” it approximately one turn using a special oil filter wrench with the prescribed torque.

Filling with oil

Be sure to replace the gasket on the drain plug with a new one. We screw in the plug and tighten it to the prescribed torque.

Pour the required amount of oil of the recommended specifications through the oil filler neck and close the neck with a lid. Check the oil level and top up if necessary.

We start the engine and increase its speed several times. We check whether oil is leaking through the drain plug of the oil pan and through the filter.

Manual gearbox oil

Under normal conditions of vehicle use, transmission oil changes are required infrequently - every 13 years or 195 thousand km.

An unscheduled replacement may be necessary if, when checking the transmission, metallic sparkles are found in it: magnetic silver ones indicate wear of the gearbox gears, golden ones indicate wear of its synchronizers.

In both cases, the oil needs to be changed.

Using an “8” hexagon, unscrew the plug on the filler hole, which is located behind the left CV joint. Then, under the same CV joint at the bottom of the crankcase, we unscrew the drain plug and also use an “8” hexagon. Let the oil drain.

After that on drain hole tighten the plug with the prescribed torque. Pour into the box gear oil recommended specifications to the bottom edge of the filler hole, and then tighten the plug.

Brake fluid

Brake fluid needs to be changed every 24 months or 30 thousand km.

On the brake caliper, remove the cap from the screw on the bleed hole. We attach a vinyl tube to the screw, lower its second end into a prepared container with a certain amount of brake fluid.

Unscrew the screw from the bleed hole and press the brake pedal. Air must not be allowed to enter the line. Therefore, throughout the entire procedure, we monitor the brake fluid level in the GTZ reservoir and top it up as necessary.

When fresh water flows out of the bleed hole brake fluid(it differs from the old one in color), tighten the screw. We repeat the same steps on the remaining calipers.

The latest generation of Lancer performs well in terms of maintainability and labor-intensive maintenance.

Of course, repairing a Mitsubishi Lancer 10 will require knowledge of some specific features of the car.

For example, when replacing serpentine belt on the version with a 1.5-liter engine, it is necessary to loosen the fasteners on the lower leg of the generator. Otherwise it will simply burst.

When replacing the air filter, it is a good idea to make sure that the halves of the filter housing fit into the latches from below.

If you need to replace the bulbs in the right headlight, you will have to remove the expansion tank and move the tank neck to the side.

However, there are usually no problems with replacing working fluids - everything is quite simple even for a beginner.
