Mistubishi RVR

[majinbu14]

Hi Guys!

I just traded my Opel to a Mitsubishi RVR a/t gas. I would like to know if you can help me with the following:

-- any special kind of engine oil?
-- spark plug (regular)?
-- ATF (regular)?

-- medyo ung opel ko kasi nun maselan sa mga ganyan. I wanted to make sure I have the correct info before ako mag pa change oil at tune up.
RVR -- converted since Japanese version and not local.
-- any tips you can give is much appreciated. thank you

Had problems with RVR -- just sharing my problems and the solutions

Maintenance:
Cleaned servo
Changed oil
Changed Spark plug - (used my bosch platinum spare from my Opel)
Oil filter
Changed timing belt and bearing
Changed right steering boots
Changed 4 tires (given by a friend)

-- We noticed that engine was jumping pretty hard
-- We changed 4 engine support/ the x member was had 1 screw missing
-- Mechanic arranged the thread for the new screw to fit
-- Same thing, whenever I placed it in drive, it coughs and jumps. I can't put gas since it chokes. What I did was to place it to neutral then back again to drive.

-- Mechanic noticed ATF very dark (dirty)
-- We checked dipstick and we need to add 1 Liter ATF
-- the following day, we had to change it anyhow with ordinary ATF

-- it worked well for half a day
-- I'm beginning to feel bad cause every time it jumps, there's a possibility it'll destroy my engine support again.
-- I was supposed to go home already cause they can't seem to find the problem; I'm thinking this is bad if it's another tranny issue. As I turned, It wont even allow me to drive... it just keeps on jumping.

-- finally, they decided to remove the transmission valve body
-- cleaned it, checked the springs, air dried and placed it back
-- We removed all the ATF
-- I used a Dexron II instead of regular

-- As I started the engine and put the shift in Drive, i thanked God that it worked

-- next is my valve seal as my muffler emits white smoke (heavy smoke)!
