Understanding AdBlue: What Mitsubishi Drivers Need to Know

Modern Mitsubishi diesel vehicles are designed to deliver excellent performance while meeting strict environmental standards. A key part of this is AdBlue, a solution used in vehicles equipped with advanced emissions control systems.

If you own a Mitsubishi diesel vehicle, understanding AdBlue and its role in maintaining compliance with emissions regulations is essential.

What Is AdBlue?

AdBlue is a non-toxic, colourless solution made from high-purity urea and deionised water. It’s used in vehicles with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems to reduce harmful nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions.

AdBlue is stored in a separate tank and injected into the exhaust system, where it reacts with NOx gases to convert them into harmless nitrogen and water vapour. This process significantly reduces the vehicle’s environmental impact.

Which Mitsubishi Models Use AdBlue?

Currently, the Mitsubishi Triton diesel variants feature the SCR system and require AdBlue to comply with emissions standards. Future models, such as the 2025 Pajero Sport, are expected to adopt this technology to further enhance environmental performance.

How to Manage AdBlue for Your Mitsubishi

1. Refilling AdBlue

   • AdBlue is typically refilled during regular servicing. However, if you frequently travel long distances or tow heavy loads, you may need to top it up between services.
   • Your Triton will alert you when AdBlue levels are low. It’s essential to refill promptly, as the engine may not start if the AdBlue tank is empty.

2. Where to Refill

   • Rangiora Mitsubishi offers AdBlue refills and system checks at our service centre. Our skilled technicians ensure your AdBlue is topped up correctly and your SCR system is functioning as it should.

3. Storage and Handling

   • Always store AdBlue in a cool, dry place and use certified AdBlue products that meet ISO 22241 standards. Contamination can damage the SCR system, so proper handling is vital.

The Benefits of AdBlue for Mitsubishi Drivers

Using AdBlue helps ensure your Mitsubishi runs cleanly and efficiently:

• Lower Emissions: Reduces harmful NOx emissions for cleaner air.
• Improved Efficiency: Maintains optimal performance of your SCR system.
• Regulatory Compliance: Meets New Zealand’s emissions standards for diesel vehicles.
