The Mitsubishi Outlander offers a great blend of power and fuel economy. Based on a car platform, it offers excellent, predictable handling, and comfortable ride, and great reliability. The latest generation of Outlanders delivers 27 mpg highway and 21 mpg city driving.

The designers at Mitsubishi design the engine to run efficiently at a very specific temperature. The cooling system ensures that the temperature of the engine remains relatively constant.

The most obvious and important part of the cooling system is the radiator, and it is also the most vulnerable to damage. The Mitsubishi Outlander’s radiator is built of a plastic frame with coils of aluminum tubing throughout. Thousands of paper thin aluminum fins are mated to the tubing. Hot coolant runs from the engine and flows into those tubes, where conduction draws heat from the cooling fluid into the skin of the aluminum tubes and from there into the radiating fins. Airflow, either from the forward motion of the vehicle or from the auxiliary cooling fan, disperses the heat into the atmosphere. The cooling system is at its most efficient when the coolant is roughly 200 degrees. If the Mitsubishi Outlander’s radiator suffers damage, it is unable to properly shed the engine’s heat and serious, if not fatal, engine damage can be the result. The radiator should be inspected regularly for damage and replaced when necessary. Regular changing of the coolant and using only distilled water in conjunction with antifreeze will keep your Mitsubishi Outlander’s radiator from developing blockages. If there are large areas of bent fins or the radiator is leaking, it should be replaced.Replacement Mitsubishi Outlander radiators are available from our convenient online catalogue, and they can be delivered right to your door.
