    In the USA (and I would expect UK is the same), we use either OEM Mitsubishi (as specified in your owners manual), or Pentofrost A3. Search the forum threads, there should be a post with the exact product information.

    Hello Niro123.

    This thread has a good discussion on coolant, also called antifreeze for the Mirage: Coolant

    Here's another thread for more on the subject: Coolant - Red + Blue ?

    Why do you ask - are you experiencing problems?

    I would advise against that. For what money you might save, you would quickly lose if that formula caused any problems.

    Interesting. I would have guessed that England would have strict disposal requirements, rather than just throwing it away. I know here stateside it would have to be taken to a disposal facility, or some place that collects for disposal such as a car parts store.

    After considerable research about suitable coolant, this is what I found out.

    The Mitsubishi Factory Service Manual says:
    " MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE SUPER LONG LIFE COOLANT PREMIUM or equivalent".

    Capacities: M/T 4.0 Litres (4.2 quarts), CVT 4.6 L (4.8 qt)

    2 notes apply:
    Note1 : or use similar high quality ethylene glycol based non-silicate, non-amine, non-nitrate and non-borate coolant with long life hybrid organic acid technology (OAT)

    Note 2 : includes 0.5L (0.53 qt) in the condense tank "

    The world's largest chemical company, and by volume also the world's largest coolant manufacturer, sells under the GYLSANTIN brand, and is OEM for most everything on wheels.

    Their official answer about Mirage suited coolant was "Use Glysantin G30"

    G30 is ethylene glycol based non-silicate, non-amine, non-nitrate and non-borate coolant
    with long life hybrid organic acid technology (OAT), exactly what Mitsubishi specifies.
    BASF suggests changing it every 108 months (9 years) or earlier.
    See the Glysantin website for more details.

    I highly doubt any coolant mfg is going to specifically list the Mirage on the bottle. I just use the blue Beck/Arnley stuff for imports. It says good for Mitsubishi so good enough for me.
    Niro123 just use the search bar and you'll probably save a lot of time.
