Mitsubishi parts reviews

12 Galant 2.4 always running Castrol edge 5w20 and oil filter change every 5k miles for like 60k miles now has 126k. Cars have never shut off or left me stranded or left any signs of hesitation.

I wish there were more options but the OEM Dunlops are wearing well -- only about halfway worn at 25k miles. They are decent, quiet and have good grip (wet braking is very good) so I might just buy another set of them when the time comes.

I'm using the Depo HID Projector headlights paired with 4300k bulbs and it works perfectly fine.

For what it's worth, I had a balance shaft/oil pump belt break and get caught up in the timing belt on my '94 Galant. This caused the timing belt to skip several teeth (who knows how far) and bent all the valves. It left damage on all pistons, somewhat similar to the damage I see here. I smacked a head on it from the junk yard and proceeded to drive it another 15k miles without any related trouble.

My mother had an '86, then upgraded to a '93 Pajero (so euro) 2.5TDI GLS. Not what you're looking at but I'll share some stuff FWIW. She sold the '93 in 2010. It was a pretty good car. Big and slow, but surprisingly comfortable, especially in the front. These are not as refined as a Range Rover etc, and they feel a bit like farm equipment at times. Got around really well in snow and cold with its advanced 4WD system, could put it in 2WD and get power oversteer too (I managed to smash a fence this way). Interior never felt top quality, but held up really well in terms of wear and tear. Floaty steering feel, squishy manual gearbox, easy clutch, squishy but decent brakes, turbo lag diesel engine. The timing belt snapped (probably because the mechanic did not replace it properly) and the head cracked, which cost a lot of money to replace and was difficult to source. Overall, not a great driving experience, but a decent and solid car that will do whatever you ask of it without grumbling.

Perhaps an oil change using a quality branded oil would help to mitigate those issues. Some years ago I bought a second hand Mitsubishi Pajero 3.0V6 24V with 30.000km on the clock. I had a ticking noise produced by the valve lifters. After the first oil change using quality branded synthetic oil the ticking dissapeared.

my dad has a 97 and that car has been pretty much great to him. never had a tranny issue or a head-gasket. the only problems he has had are have the timing belt snap on him (we think due to improper installation), leaking valve cover gasket (it is a PITA to change) and a heater core leak nothing insane though.

Rajvosa, would you say your oil comes out cleaner and less worn when u change it out at 3,000 miles? My buddy put amsoil in his worked Evo and after 3,000 miles, it was just as clear as the day he put it in. Prior to amsoil, mobil 1 was used and 3,000 miles later it was BLACK. That is the main reason why I went to amsoil and my mileage aready went up, car runs sooo smooth, and I feel its the right oil for the 24v.

The cheapest I found to replace the timing belt back then was nearly $1000, and it was due at 60k miles, not 100k like other brands.

I used Odysseys PC-680 on other cars, particularly on Evos. They weight about 15lbs and they free up spaces dramatically but the reliability is awful. I went through 3 of them once. They will start the car with a little bit of difficulty but don't try to start the car with the A/C , the radio etc because they can't.
