OEM Mitsubishi Thermostats

All About Mitsubishi Thermostats

What a Thermostat Does for a Mitsubishi

It helps prevent overheats. How it works is a spring or piston opens and closes it. This enables antifreeze to circulate between the engine and the radiator at the right intervals and in the right temperature range. Engine parts can then run cool, helping them not only work right but last longer.

The Signs the Thermostat in a Mitsubishi is Bad

• A Check Engine light on the dash
• Engine and AC and heating problems
• A temperature gauge that reads hot (not dead-center or in the slightly cold range)
• Antifreeze not moving through the cooling system the way it's supposed to
• Warped hoses and gaskets
• A stuck or malfunctioning valve

How to Replace a Mitsubishi Thermostat

Here's what to do. All you'll need, in most cases, besides a new thermostat and some fresh coolant, is a drip pan, plus a ratchet, some pliers, a gasket, and a metal scraper. Just be sure you do any repairs with a cool engine -- a hot one can mean getting some serious burns -- and OEM parts.

Not quite sure how to go about it? No problem; a Mitsubishi dealer can help.

Why Buy an OEM Thermostat vs. Aftermarket?

OEM means genuine Mitsubishi, and that means top-quality and guaranteed fit and function. Most importantly, it means a part that won't void your factory warranty, like using some aftermarket thermostats can.
