side note oil light stays on for a few seconds after filling the oil then turns off permanently. (Could be normal tho worth mentioning?)
Yes, it's normal after oil change, the oil needs to fill up the filter and build up pressure, few seconds is OK.
About the battery, my Mitsu is 2 year old, mostly driven on short distances, parking outside etc. I noticed during winter time it would crank a bit harder, gave it a full charge but still I am a bit concerned. Happened to me once or twice that when I cranked it I could notice like 1 second delay before reaction of the starter - weird, never had it in any car I owned before.
Also, being connected to OBD via EML on bluetooth and observing live data - the charging behave weirdly. In every car I had so far, the charging (volts) would go up together with revs - here, not the case. I can see sometimes values like 11.2V on idle. I can see it charges nicely - max 13.5V when going downhill or slowing down with no throttle and using engine to slow down - somewhat it reminds me electric car and their recuperation systems to charge batteries - has anyone observed something similar?
I will report it to the stealership on my next visit late April/early May - let's see what they say but something is definitely not OK - when on idle, lights on, brakes on - I can see the display literally slightly blinking
