Mitsubishi 380 auto servicing
Use the manual shift as much as you can and anticipate the road ahead. When you're facing a hill, be ready to down-change manually without waiting for the transmission to do it for itself. Never let it lug at low revs in too high a gear. The other thing to be mindful of is servicing. The transmission fluid should be regularly changed, at least every 50,000 km if not before, and a full service is recommended around 100,000 km. By doing that you should be able to extend the life of your automatic transmission. Servicing is even more important if the transmission is made to work hard, such as when towing.

Ask Smithy Xtra converting a Mitsubishi 380 VRX to LPG
Mitsubishi first launched the 380 without an LPG option and the engine didn’t have the hardened valve seats needed for LPG operation, but when later it released the IMPCO vapour-injection system it also released LPG-compatible cylinder heads. Mitsubishi would tell you that engines like yours, without the LPG heads, shouldn’t be converted, but if you talk to people within the LPG industry you would be told that the IMPCO system is working well, without any problem, on engines with the LPG heads and those without. They add that because the valve seats harden naturally over time there is very little chance of having a problem with your engine even though it doesn’t have the LPG heads.
