    Thanks Fummins, I checked it with the engine running & hot, right after shifting it into every gear, and the oil level was right in the middle of the Hot zone, so I'm thinking I'm good to go!
  2. Help me diagnose an unusual sound from my Mirage?

    I was driving yesterday and noticed a high pitched sound from - I'm guessing - the engine area (near my front left/driver's side). The sound only happens when the car is moving at about 5 to 9mph,...

    HOAT vs OAT antifreeze

    I put this as a side note in a prior post, but I figured this deserves its own post. It seems Cummins Filtration considers OAT coolants superior to HOAT (page 3):...

    Repairing Paint Chips & Rust Questions

    I have a couple of small paint-chipped spots on the hood & front of my Mirage, most around the size of half of an eraser on a pencil or smaller. Some of them look like there's a bit of rust, and I'd...

    Agreed, I got this done too, and have a similar experience. The CVT feels alot more like a traditional automatic now, and also feels more "solid" and confident in its shifting, if that makes sense.

    Because we can? :)

    IMO it's more fun pushing a slow car to go fast than a fast powerful car.

    I've gone cross country & cruised at 80-90 without any unusual shaking - not anything significantly more than what I normally feel at 50-60.

    IMO my engine's purring as smoothly as the day I bought it. I'm running 5w-30 in it right now, during the winter months (Pennzoil yellow bottle), with a Microgard filter.

    A good, attentive driver can prevent these things. A radar system may or may not reduce these accident risks. In fact, it may increase these accident risks: people drop their guard, thinking their...

    Topping off the Battery

    Just a check in: Four years with my 2014 Mirage, and the original battery (and everything else) is still running like a champ! I've just had to add some distilled water about once a year, so far.

    Well, since I chose the Mirage out of all the other options out there, I would say that - for me - everything else is worse than the Mirage.

    Added water to (Original) battery

    After 3+ years, the original (so-called "maintenance free") battery is still going strong, but I had to add about 25mL of distilled water into each of the 6 ports!

    Here are some random, odd points about the Mirage:

    I love this car (mine's a 2014): it's feels far more spacious inside of it than others in its class, and even compared with larger cars.

    If I placed a bet, it would be that it's going to grow in size until it becomes a SUV, and Mitsu will release a new small hatchback after that :)

    Looks like there are still problems going on with the Spark, at least judging from the posts over in their forums, and the '16 is too new to judge yet, especially since it's a new revision/generation.

    I've had no noticeable issue with mileage whether using 0W-20, 5W-30, 10W-30, or 10W-40. Now that the daily high temperatures in my area is 100F+, changing 5W-30 to 10W-40 worked beautifully, and I...
