Engine oil and oil filter
NOTE
 The engine oil will deteriorate rapidly if the
vehicle is subjected to severe conditions (for
example, repeated operation on rough roads,
in mountainous regions, on roads with many
uphill and downhill gradients, or over short
distances). Consequently, the oil will require
earlier replacement in accordance with the
schedule in the "WARRANTY AND MAIN-
TENANCE MANUAL".
Engine oil identification mark
Mitsubishi Motors recommends using only
9
engine oils with the ILSAC certification sym-
bol on the front of the container.
ILSAC certification symbol
If you cannot find oils with the ILSAC certi-
fication symbol, use an API classification SN
or higher oil with the following label.
9-6 Vehicle care and maintenance
This mark appears on the top of the oil con-
tainer and tells you two important things
about the oil.
API service symbol
1- The upper part indicates the quality of
the oil.
2- The center part indicates the SAE grade
of the oil viscosity.
Recommended engine oil vis-
cosity
Use engine oil with the proper thickness for
the outdoor temperatures where you will be
driving.
