Mitsubishi Motors recommends using only
engine oils with the ILSAC certification sym-
bol on the front of the container.
If you cannot find oils with the ILSAC certi-
fication symbol, use an API classification SN
oil with the following label.
This mark appears on the top of the oil con-
tainer and tells you two important things
about the oil.
Use engine oil with the proper thickness for
the outdoor temperatures where you will be
driving.
SAE 0W-20 engine oil is strongly recom-
mended for optimum fuel economy and cold
starting.
If SAE 0W-20 is not available, the ILSAC
certification oil of other viscosity grades can
be temporarily used.
The oil filter should be replaced at the time or
mileage specified in the “WARRANTY AND
MAINTENANCE MANUAL”.
Only use high quality replacement filters on
this vehicle. The manufacturer’s specifica-
tions for Mitsubishi Motors Genuine oil fil-
ters require that the filter can withstand a
pressure of 256 psi (1.8 MPa). A Mitsubishi
Motors Genuine oil filter is the best replace-
ment filter.
