    Coolant flush and refill

    Hi all, I recently purchased a 2014 with 62K miles. Not knowing the history, I changed the oil and CVT fluid and filters. Next I would like to flush and refill the coolant. The current coolant is green in color, is that the color of standard Mitsubishi coolant? Is the OEM coolant the best to go with? Also I read there is a water jacket drain plug in the block, where on the block is it. Thanks

    Read this post. I think it pretty well covers it & has some pics...
    I didn't know what to do, so I didn't do anything

    You need a 6mm allen, ideally on a long handle because it takes some effort to crack, tighten back to around 25 newton metres

    Any idea what the other 2 plugs, one to the left of the one you circled and one to the right kinda behind the timing chain are for?
