Mitsubishi Brake Fluid Type
Most Mitsubishi vehicles, such as Lancer and Outlander, require DOT 4 brake fluid. The brake fluid does not have to come from Mitsubishi. Any DOT 4 store-bought brake fluid will work. If you are unsure what brake fluid your Mitsubishi uses, look at the reservoir cap. It will say if your Mitsubishi requires DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid.
