Actually, reading the Blackstone comments, they don't think this was the factory fill, so the results of this particular fluid analysis are associated with an unknown drail interval. So what drain interval do you recommend for the Mirage?

At the rate I drive I might never replace the fluid again. The paper filter is similar to what you get with an oil filter. If I loved the car I would at least change the paper filter every couple of years.

They also make self resetting thermal fuses that automatically reset after the temperature comes back down. Thank you for watching!

I believe from the bottom hole to top hole on the dipstick it’s around .5 litres. 1/4 of that is around 125ml

Glad to hear you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching!

If you’ve already checked that the brush’s square end is in tact and it can be manually spun while installed it’s likely a stripped gear within the unit. I believe removing it should be straightforward, all you need to do is unscrew and remove the blower motor and the roller brush screws will be below it

You could have probably had the machine replaced under warranty. But I think it's great that you are keeping the coffee maker from becoming e-waste. Thank you for watching!

Thank you for watching! I hope you find the video helpful.

If you have some patience and are not scared of breaking it then yes I would say it’s an easy fix.

This is a 2015 mirage but all 2012-2025 mirages should be very similar. The bulb is a P21/5W. It’s named this because it’s a dual filament bulb, the 5 watt filament is the parking light and the 21 watt is the much brighter brake light.

Thank you ​@@welfarewagonrepairs

The actual buttons within the machine that the bumper pushes against maybe stuck. Alternatively the machine maybe scared of sunlight as it fools the uv sensors into thinking it’s about to crash

Coolant is normally never clear. The OEM stuff is blue. Maybe someone replaced or diluted your coolant with water?

@ it was diluted now it’s green. Bought car used. Doesn’t overheat with green coolant

@@carhoarder602 even with water it won’t overheat. The coolant is water mixed with additives to prevent rust, mold, and freezing which can crack the engine and radiator. Different coolants brands/colors have different additives designed for different engine metals.

That is correct, you should fill it up to the F level. If the engine is cold, you can also open the radiator cap and make sure that it is full. But this is sort of optional as the engine should suck the coolant in from the overflow tank when it cools down from operating temperature.

Is it ok to flush with distilled water after you drain the coolant?

yes, but then you would have to drain the engine block again if you wanted to get the water out

You can search mirageforum.com for the factory service manual

They make self resetting thermal overload switches that automatically reset after a few minutes. The manufacturer maybe concerned that the machine may have melted or been damaged in other ways such as a sticky heating element solenoid before the thermal fuse tripped so they may not want to be liable if you were to reset it, they also likely don’t want users to be stuck with a machine that has intermittent issues as that is a bad user experience. On the other hand the thermal fuse usually trips when the user does something they know may not be correct. In my case the water tank was removed while the machine was running making the user feel responsible for the failure.

I explain how the low water level sensor that triggers the add water message works at 9:06 in the video. It’s possible that your internal reservoir is not draining.

The budget solution is usually to install an “oversized” drain plug. I think some kits even come with taps. You could also try and glue/weld this in but I am not sure how bad your threads are stripped and how long that would last.

It is mentioned at 17:08 in the video, I added 4.35 liters. If you only open the drain plug without dropping the pan you will need less oil. Thank you for watching!

My Mirage has traveled 150,000 km. I will change the transmission oil as you did. I have 4 liters of oil and a paper filter. I have never changed the transmission oil before. Is there a problem with that? Thank you again.

I don’t think it will be a problem. I changed it at around 90,000km. Even if you change 4 litres still around 3 liters remain in the transmission as the torque converter will not drain.

I’ve never bled the brakes myself, the shop that changes the tires over seasonally does it for me. It’s fairly cheap since the car is already on the hoist with the wheels off. You can search for the factory service manual on mirageforum.com within it will be the bleed sequence.

Glad to hear you found the video helpful. Thank you for taking the time to leave this comment.

Yes, it’s a wrench and flat head screwdriver 2 in one. The flat head to remove the plastic hub cap (if applicable) and the wrench is of course for installing the spare tire. There is also a handle for the jack and a tow hook that screws into the front bumper of the mirage behind the removable square hole.

The oem unit cd player is integrated into the radio it cannot be separated. It maybe for can bus data for steering wheel controls

@@welfarewagonrepairs ah, I also just read your other comment on this. That makes sense, thanks for your reply.

Glad to hear you found it helpful. Thank you for taking the time to leave this comment!

Yes the space star and the mirage is the same vehicle sold under different names in different markets.

Glad to hear you found the video helpful. Thank you for taking the time to leave this comment!

I also had a lot of rubbing noises when I had new shoes and drums installed but they went away when I had the seasonal tire swap done. Maybe they drove the car with the ebrake up.

That is true. I can also buy a car in the time it takes me to do an oil change. Unfortunately I do not make money as fast as I can spend it. Thank you for watching!

The battery is replaceable. This video was released before eufy began to sell the battery. Unfortunately unlike on other eufy models the entire vacuum bottom needs to be removed to access it

I do not do much driving maybe a couple thousand km a year but so far this has never leaked so I would say it’s working ok. My only concerns are ground clearance and that the dirt at the bottom of the oil pan may not be coming out as this has threads that likely protrude into the pan and because I no longer jack the front of the car up when I change the oil.

@@welfarewagonrepairs OK thank you!

I think it shouldn’t be a problem long term to keep using it with the rocks in it. If the sound bothers you. You can try pulling the exhaust filter out without disassembling the machine like I do in the video and shake the rocks out.

The one shown in the video is plug and play. No wires were cut, no soldering done

Glad to hear you found the video helpful. Thank you for watching

I agree, the machine is designed with cost and rapid assembly in mind and not for serviceability. Glad to hear you fixed your machine. Thank you for watching

Blue is the OEM coolant color, you can see me add coolant I purchased directly from a Mitsubishi dealership near the end of the video.

@@welfarewagonrepairs I have mine Imported used Green Coolant I think green is Fine the Green was Also OEM it overheated the Red Temp light came on it was on water but Now I use the coolant that it was before on the car Green

Go to mirageforum.com and search for “factory service manual”. Parts shown In the video are from Partsouq, Mitsubishi dealerships and Rockauto.

Glad you enjoyed it!

You can fill the radiator all the way up and the overflow tank to the high line whenever it’s empty. Remember to only open the radiator cap if the engine has not been started for a few hours (is cold). Opening the radiator cap to fill may only be necessary if the car ran out of coolant at some point.
