Recommended Engine Oil For Mitsubishi Lancer



In this article you will find out – what engine lubricant suits Mitsubishi Lancer? One can argue that the variety of motor oil brands can be even richer than that of car brands. Engine oils differ in quality and viscosity grades. Fuel consumption and launch of engine depend upon viscosity.  The use of unsuitable oil can result in engine breakdown! Thus, we highly recommend you to read car manufacturers’ instructions on oil selection.  Below, our team is willing to propose a broad range of engine oils suitable for Mitsubishi Lancer.

We hope this data will help you to choose oil most suitable for you, recommended for the US, under normal conditions. In case your region has abnormal weather conditions (too low or too high temperatures), as well as for severe operating conditions, we kindly ask you to refer to your car instruction, or contact official representative Mitsubishi in your region.
