uhm... lalaki po ako...

what the... ??? walang element?!?!?!

by all means, please get one po... since your SW is company issued, you might want to ask the previous driver/mechanic or whoever was previous endorsed on WHY they removed it.

on FC:
i regularly have 6.5-7.5km/liter for gas consumption. my SW goes up the hills of Baguio kasi. but if you are based in the lowlands, im pretty sure it will be a bit better.

Beth because it was she is my late aunt who co-invested in the SW with my dad... it was our dream car come true. we were all smiles when we drove it out of Diamond Greenhills on that Sunny day of June 1997...

Distilled water is recommended for our radiators. IF you will be driving in stop-go traffic here in the metro, I would suggest you use engine coolant. Check your manual for the mixture. I usually do 1 bottle of Prestone Coolant (forgot the size but its less than Php200) and the rest distilled water during my radiator flush. I flush the radiator once or twice a year.

6-7km/li is what I read as the normal consumption for the SW ~96 A/T model. Maybe a +1 or +2 when you take it up into the highway.

Try to visit us at mymitsuph.com. there is a thread there for SW users :D

Naka! wala ng manual yun 1997 mitsubishi spacewagon A/T that i got 3 weeks ago...napansin ko na malapit na sa "minimum" yun reservoir ng supposed to be coolant...looks like water lang ang laman...

hindi ko alam kung tubig nga lang ang ginagamit ng previous owner (dont ask me na itanong ko sa previous owner...hindi na posible yun e...)

sa meron pa mga 1997 SW A/T users, do you use coolant mixture? what will be the ratio of the mixture (how many parts coolant?/how many parts water?) that you will place in the reservoir?
