Viscosity and specifications
At the factory, the engine is filled with special high-quality multigrade oil, which is suitable, with the exception of extremely cold climatic zones, for operation in all seasons.
When adding oil to the engine, it is also possible to add oil of one specification to oil of another specification. The viscosity class of the oil should be selected in accordance with the data in fig. Viscosity of motor oils. If the air temperature is only briefly outside the temperature limits given here, the oil should not be changed.
Gasoline engines
A - all-weather oils with increased antifriction properties, specification VW 500 00.
B - all-weather oils, specification VW 501 01;
– all-weather oils, API-SF or SG specifications.
Diesel engines
A - all-weather oils with enhanced anti-friction properties, specification VW 500 00 (for diesel engines turbocharged only when mixed with specification VW 505 00).
B - all-weather oils, specification VW 505 00 (unlimited for all diesel engines);
– all-weather oils, API-CD specification (for turbocharged diesel engines only in case of emergency for topping up);
– all-weather oils, specification VW 501 01 (for turbocharged diesel engines only in a mixture with specification VW 505 00).
The quality of motor oils
All-weather oils according to VW 501 01 and 505 00 standards are relatively inexpensive oils with the following qualities:
– year-round use in areas temperate climate;
– excellent detergent properties;
- good lubricity at all temperatures and engine loads;
– high stability of initial properties for a long time.
All-weather oils with improved anti-friction properties according to the VW 500 00 standard have, in addition, additional advantages:
– year-round use in almost all possible temperatures outdoor air;
- low engine power losses due to friction;
– easier cold start of the engine – also at very low temperatures. Warning
Seasonal oils, due to their specific viscosity-temperature properties, usually cannot be used all year round. Therefore, these oils should only be used in extreme climatic zones.
When using multigrade oils SAE class 5W-30, it is necessary to avoid prolonged operation of the engine with high frequency rotation and constant heavy load on the engine. These restrictions do not apply to multigrade oils with improved anti-friction properties.
Additives for motor oilsNo friction loss additives should be added to engine oils.
oil mixing
This and similar questions are of interest to many motorists. The answer to the first one is, unfortunately, no, even if these are oils from "world-famous" companies (Shell, Mobil, British Petroleum). Each company produces commercial oils, adding to the oil base a whole range of additives, the chemical composition of which is kept in great secret. Therefore, a lot quality oils of the same purpose, made according to the requirements regarding the operational and technical properties of the international classification API and the European specification CCMS-ACEA, but according to the technologies of different companies, when mixed, they are able to create mixtures Low quality due to the interaction and mutual destruction of additives, that is, the "incompatibility" of additives. Oils different firms are interchangeable, the possibility of using such oils is often indicated by engine builders. But that doesn't mean they can be mixed. The API classification and the ACEA specification require mandatory identical test methods (laboratory, bench - motor, etc.) of oils from different companies. If desired (or necessary), motor builders can introduce additional tests(or more stringent conditions) to these classifications.
The same applies to mixing mineral or synthetic oils (sometimes even from the same company). Synthetic oils can have a hydrocarbon composition (in such cases, oils from one company can be mixed, for which the oil manufacturer recommends and for which it is responsible), a different chemical composition. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for oils to deteriorate when mixed. As a result, the engine may "knock" as the mixture of incompatible oils turns into "jelly".
An even more negative answer to the question of the possibility of mixing imported and domestic oils, especially those made with the addition of "domestic" additives. Neither the seller nor the consumer knows the composition of the additives that are in the oils. Some oils of "domestic origin" are produced by "firms" that do not even have basic knowledge of petroleum products. Sometimes such "specialists" use used oils (even without proper regeneration) for the production of "commercial" oils. At the same time, the corresponding quality. Therefore, advice on the possibility of mixing oils must be given very carefully!
No "purifiers" ("Tokron" and others) are able to increase octane number gasoline. For this, special additives are used - antiknock agents, which are added during the manufacture of gasoline at refineries, or additives. Cause of detonation (heard metallic knock while the engine is running) and pre-ignition (the engine continues to run when the ignition is off), there may be deposits in the combustion chamber.
The increase in compression in the system "with the introduction of some additives" does not occur due to viscous additives, since they do not have them in their composition, but for other reasons.
It is not advisable to reduce oil waste in an old engine and increase compression in the cylinders by using high-viscosity oils, since this will initially lead to a real increase in compression in the cylinders, but not for long. In the future, engine repairs will cost more.
The cause of "acoustic noise" in an old engine is wear and tear. Therefore, it will be cheaper to repair with the subsequent use of high-quality oil. You can "reduce" the gaps with additives, but the expediency of this should be sorted out so as not to harm the engine.
Briefly about "marine oils" and the possibility of their use in " automotive diesels". Eat different oils. Special marine oils for diesel engines belong to group E, for example, M-16E30, M-16E60, M-20E60, designed for low-speed diesel engines running on high-sulphur, high-viscosity fuel - fuel oil. These oils have technical and operational properties (quality indicators) that differ from the quality indicators of automotive diesel oils, so their use in automotive diesel engines is impossible. There are marine oils of group D, for example, M-10DCL20, M-14DCL20, M-14DCL30, which are used in diesel engines running on high-sulphur fuel. Oils are waterproof, but have an increased base number And high ash content. For automotive diesels, this is increased engine wear, which over time may not pay off with free oil. M-16DR oil for marine diesel engines, which run on distillate fuel - diesel fuel with a higher viscosity compared to the viscosity of an automobile and a sulfur content of up to 0.5%, can be used in automotive diesel engines in the summer (for heavy trucks, not cars).
It is necessary to make it a rule: use a high-quality engine oil of the same brand (according to classification) that matches the engine and do not risk mixing it with the same synthetic (or semi-synthetic) oil. The engine will thank you for it. reliable performance. Do not buy oil from your hands, as the packaging is easy to fake.

Malfunctions and repair of the Mitsubishi 4G13 engine
Before us is the 4G13 engine of the Mitsubishi Orion family, with a displacement of 1.3 liters, originally from the 80s, designed for small cars, similar to Mitsubishi Colt, Carisma, Lancer, Mirage and used in their simplified versions. The motor itself is simple, based on cast iron block cylinders, with a cylinder head for 12 or 16 valves, and all these valves on one camshaft(SOHC).
There are no hydraulic lifters, the valves are adjusted every 90 thousand km, the valve clearances are as follows: inlet 0.15 mm, outlet 0.25 mm (hot), inlet 0.07 mm, outlet 0.17 mm (cold). Timing belt drive, belt life 90 thousand km (preferably changed earlier), if the timing belt breaks on 4G13, the valve bends. The engine power system is carbureted (for the first modifications), later the engine became injection.
Together with this engine, its “large-volume” counterpart, a one and a half liter, and later , working volume 1.6 l. Since 2004, the 4G1 (Orion) series began to be replaced by a fresh line of 4A9 engines, where our veteran 4G13 was replaced by new engine 4A90.
4G13 malfunctions and their causes
In the field of malfunctions and shortcomings, the 4G13 motor copies the older 4G15, their description can be found.
Mitsubishi 4G13 engine tuning
Turbine on 4G13
By by and large tuning such a small motor is a very strange thing and designed only for the most ardent fans of your car. Nevertheless, since we have before us a reduced version of 4G15, then all the techniques used on a half-wheel can be implemented here as well, a description of the refinement 4G15.
In addition, a good tuning option is to replace the 4G13 SOHC head with a 4G15 DOHC with two camshafts, but the new cylinder head will need intake manifold, pad,belt, candles, distributor, thermostat, exhaust manifold and a number of little things ... As a result, the compression ratio will increase, traction will improve at the top and slightly deteriorate at the bottom. Good tuning option.
During operation Mitsubishi car Colt needs to closely monitor the condition of the filling fluids. Over time, they deteriorate and need to be replaced. You can do it yourself, because there is nothing difficult here, but there are some points to consider. Firstly, this is the volume of the substance being poured, and secondly, its name and purpose. For example, pour mineral oil in the motor, where there should be synthetic, it is impossible. Based on this, before replacing antifreeze, oil, brake fluid, and lubricant, you need to carefully study the manual, in which everything is described in detail.
However, there is another option. You can easily use the services of a service station, where everything will be done efficiently and quickly. To do this, you only need to find an organization that services Mitsubishi cars and spend 2 hours. Paying for everything filling liquids(engine oil, antifreeze, coolant, brake fluid etc.), as well as for the work of car mechanics, you get a car ready for operation.

What and how much fuel and lubricants to fill in Mitsubishi Colt was last modified: October 2nd, 2018 by Administrator
For the first time compact japanese car saw the light in 1962. Then the engine was located in the rear of the body. The succeeding generation in the 78th year moved the engine to its usual place. For all the years of production, the body shape was different - station wagon, sedan, fastback, but took root - a hatchback.
This car, like any other, needs maintenance. According to the regulations complete replacement oil must be done every 15,000 km. Along with the oil, the cleaning filter also changes. All work can be done independently if you follow our instructions, have a minimum set of tools and of course a new one. consumable as suitable oil, filter and, if necessary, a sealing washer on the drain plug.
Refueling volumes and oil selection
Colt engines exist in variations of 1.1, 1.3 and 1.5 liters. They recommend for them synthetic oils 5W-20, 5W-30, 5W-40 and 0W-40.
Exact amount required oil depends on the specific modification of the engine, but for everything one way or another, 5 is suitable liter canister, about a liter should remain for topping up.
Which firm to choose? This is not important, you can choose any more or less normal company, for example:
- Eneos 5w-30;
- Castrol SLX Professional 5W-30;
- Mobil 5w-40 super 3000;
- Mitsubishi 5w-20;
- Motul.
