Engine Q&A 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer

  • Why does the check engine light in my Lancer turn on when I start my car? Generally, your check engine light turning on upon ignition is not a bad thing. This is a sign that your vehicle is testing its circuits. The light should go off shortly. Bring your vehicle in if it doesn't.
  • Why is my Mitsubishi Lancer making engine noise? Strange engine sounds can be a sign something’s off in your Mitsubishi Lancer. Tapping or knocking could mean you're low on oil. A high-pitched whistle could signal an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing can be traced back to a loose fan belt, and grinding might be coming from the brakes, not the engine.
  • What could damage my Mitsubishi Lancer engine? Certain driving habits can hurt your engine. These habits include driving on an empty fuel tank, revving your engine while the vehicle is in Park, or slamming the gas pedal while the engine is still cold. Help sustain your engine’s performance and efficiency by staying miles away from these bad driving practices.
  • Can I add water to my Mitsubishi Lancer radiator? Only in emergencies. A 50/50 mix of coolant and water (or a pre-mixed) coolant is recommended. However, if you must keep driving when you're out of coolant, it's better to drive with water in your coolant reservoir than nothing.
