NOTE
Engine oil consumption is greatly influenced by payload,
engine speed, etc.
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 MAINTENANCE MANUAL”.
Engine oil identification markMitsubishi Motors recommends using only engine oils with the
ILSAC certification symbol on the front of the container.If you cannot find oils with the ILSAC certification symbol,
use an API classification SM or higher oil with the following
label.
This mark appears on the top of the oil container and tells you
two important things about the oil.ILSAC certification symbol
1- The top portion shows the quality of the oil.
2- The center portion shows the SAE grade of the oil viscosity.API service symbol

Recommended engine oil viscosity
N00955000067
Use engine oil with the proper thickness for the outdoor tem-
peratures where you will be driving.Except for vehicles equipped with turbochargerSAE 5W-20 engine oil is strongly recommended for optimum
fuel economy and cold starting.
SAE 10W-30 may be used when the normal operating tempera-
ture is above 100 °F (38 °C).
Vehicles equipped with turbochargerNOTE
Select engine oil of the proper SAE viscosity number
according to the atmospheric temperature. SAE 5W-30,
0W-30 and 0W-40 engine oil can only be used if it meets
API SM (or higher) specifications.
SAE 0W-30 and 0W-40 engine oil are recommended to
use to improve engine startability on a very cold weather
condition.
SAE 10W-30 may be used when the normal operating
temperature is above 100 °F (38 °C).
Use engine oil conforming to the following classification:
API classification: “For service SM” or higher
ILSAC certificated oil
