What engine oil is better for Mitsubishi. Recommended motor oil for Mitsubishi Lancer. Who produces original lubricant

For each car with the engine internal combustion After a certain time interval or the distance passed the moment of replacing the oil and oil filter in the engine. And each responsible car owner of the Ninth Lancer is sooner or late as a few questions: which oil replacement interval, what and in what amount to fill oil into the engine? If you look into any specialized auto shop, we will face with a large selection of engine oils, since each of them differs from others with its own characteristics: chemical composition (synthetic, semi-synthetic or mineral), viscosity, additive set and, most importantly, quality. In order not to have such questions and difficulties, let's try to understand all this.

Attention! All the following tips and instructions are written by the usual owner of the Ninth Lancer, which are based on many years of exploitation. this car. They cannot guarantee 100% of the correctness of reasoning, so listen to them or not, to solve only you.

Oil volume

Oil volume - This is the total volume of the oil poured, including the volume of the oil filter. As a rule, with any replacement of oil on any engine it is impossible to completely drain motor oilTherefore, in the engine most often there are about 0.2 - 0.3 liters of old oil. There is nothing terrible in this, it is not particularly worried.

Oil replacement interval

"Recommended" oil replacement interval in the engine for 9 lancer is 15,000 km. In quotes, because This interval will most likely help you only faster to waste engine wear, after which you may begin to interest another topic - increased zhore oil in the engine. If you search the Internet information about this, you can find an incredibly large number of reviews of the angry car owners of the Lancer of the ninth generation, which can reach 1 liter for 1000 km. I do not take as an example reviews of the second (or more) owners of Lancer, because on the odometer they highlight the figure around 50,000 - 100,000 km, and in reality, the mileage may be several times more.

For many years of operation and study of the forums revealed a small pattern. Who has 15,000 km from the oil replacement interval and the problems of Zhora oil began to appear after 60000 km, who changed the oil more often - there were much less problems.

In many, the oil replacement period is based on the car's distance traveled, but this is not entirely correct. After all, all internal combustion engines continue their work on traffic lights when the car is in a stationary state, or, in traffic jams, when the average speed can be 5-10 km / h.

Let's carry out minor calculations. Take as an example a period of oil replacement of 10,000 km and three owners. The first of them carries out its movement in a densely population average speed For 10,000 km - 20 km / h. The second one also goes around the city, but already without traffic jams, and its average speed was 40 km / h. The third extremely overcomes the distance along the highway at an average speed of 70 km / h. By not very complex computing, we calculate the number of engine troubled watches: for the first - 500, the second - 250 and the third ~ 143.

What can be done from this? An oil change interval to everyone should choose individually depending on the style of driving and location, but in any case, change the oil is better not less than 10,000 km.

I'll tell you about my car. Starting from 30 km to 200,000 km, the engine replacement period in the engine was about 7500 km. Up to 15,000 meters, there were no absolutely no problems, after 15,000,000 km, a small consumption appeared: up to 0.5 liters by 7500 km.

Choosing engine oil

The main property of the engine oil is its viscosity, i.e. Temperature dependence ambient When the engine is cold started in winter to the maximum oil temperature in the engine at maximum load in summer. Especially for this, the classification - SAE generally accepted at the international level, which brings the temperature range for the safe operation of the engine. The Mitsubishi plant recommends applying the following types of oils for 9 lancer, depending on the ambient temperature:

Temperature, ° С
< -35	-30		-20		-10		0		10		20		30		40		> 50
					SAE 20W-40, 20W-50
				SAE 15W-40, 15W-50
		SAE 10W-40, 10W-50
		SAE 10W-30
SAE 0W-40, 5W-40
SAE 0W-30, 5W-30

After abbreviation SAE follow several numbers separated W. and dash, for example, 5W-40, which is universal all-season oil, can be decrypted: 5w. - Low-temperature viscosity showing that the engine starting in the winter is possible at a temperature not lower than -35 ° C (from the number before W it is necessary to take 40). The second number ( high temperature viscosity) It is impossible to simply take and translate to a normal and understandable language, because This indicator is a prefigure indicating the minimum and maximum viscosity of the oil at operating temperatures (100-150 ° C) of the engine. The higher this number, the greater the viscosity of the oil at high temperatures.

Universal oil for 9 Lancer is SAE 5W-30, SAE 5W40, SAE 10W40 (for not very cold places). What to choose the manufacturer, solve only you. It is not necessary to chase expensive oils, it is better to take cheaper, but it is more often changed. In the entire history of operation 9 Lancer Lil Semi synthetic oil Shell Helix. Plus 10W40 (in summer) and Shell Helix 5W40 (winter) and never experienced problems with the launch due to oil.

Lancer is a sign model for Mitsubishi, it is no coincidence that this year she will celebrate its 45th anniversary. Lancer 10, the production of which started in 2007 - last generation This compact car. The popularity of this brand in the whole world is very high, it is no coincidence that the assembly of the model is carried out at five plants in different countries. Possessing an individual exterior comfortable salon and the line of economical and productive power units, Lancer X fully meets high Japanese and international standards in the field of quality, reliability and safety.

Motor oil replacement algorithm in Mitsubishi Lancer. X.

But whatever high performance features this model, without timely execution regulations The maintenance of the car resource would be much less. Meanwhile, many of them can be performed independently, including lubricants. What oil for Lancer 10 is the best when and how to perform it to replace - we will try to answer these questions.

Replacement frequency

Currently, the ruler of the tenth of lancerts is completed with the following gasoline power units:

• 1.5 (oil volume - 4.2 l.);
• 1.6 (oil volume - 4.2 l.);
• 1.8 (oil volume - 4.3 l.);
• 2.0 (oil volume - 4.1 liters, models up to 2012 release);
• 2.0 (oil volume - 5.8 liters, models starting from 2012 release);
• 2.4 (Oil volume - 4.6 liters).

In the engine Lancer 10, according to the recommendations of the automaker, is every 15 thousand kilometers. At the same time, together with lubrication liquid is subject to replacement and oil filter. However, navigate only on mileage, according to many automotive experts, do not do it.

The operation of the car in heavy road conditions significantly reduces this interval, and not only the quality should be understood under this concept. russian roads. To a noticeable worsening quality lubricantAs you know, the extreme temperature conditions of the engine operating, as well as:

• filling of low quality fuel;
• riding in a metropolis with frequent stops with a motor operating;
• riding on country roads without hard coating;
• aggressive driving style.

If there are any of the listed factors, the replacement interval should be reduced to 5 - 7.5 thousand kilometers, and without them to change lubrication in force aggregate Every 10,000 kilometers.

What oil pouring

In the factory setting in Mitsubishi Lancer poured original oil own production. The first fill oil knowingly can not be bad, but in this case It is distinguished by a number of positive qualities:

• high thermal stability;
• reliable protection against corrosion formation;
• resistance to foaming;
• compatibility with modern and previously used sealing materials;
• excellent anti-ray characteristics;
• the ability to increase the efficiency of the internal combustion engine;
• fuel economy;
• ensuring the reliable start of the power unit in conditions of negative temperatures.

It is not always possible to use to replace it, and a huge selection of lubricants present in the market makes it difficult to get a response to the question of which engine oil is to fill in the Lancer engine 10. The automaker itself recommends pouring oil into Mitsubishi Lancer X, satisfying the following high-quality motor mixture parameters :

	Year of issue
	2007 – 2008	2009 – 2010		2011 – 2013		Starting from 2014.
Option of basic fluid	synthetic / semi-synthetic			synthetics
Seasonal viscosity	20W40 / 25W40 (Summer), 0W40 / 5W40 (winter), 15W40 (All-season)		20W40 / 25W40 (Summer), 0W30 / 0W40 / 5W40 (winter), 10W40 / 15W40 (All-season)	20W40 / 25W40 / 25W50 (Summer), 0W40 / 5W40 / 5W50 (winter), 10W40 / 15W40 / 10W50 (All-season)	20w40 / 25W50 (summer), 0W30 / 0W50 (Winter), 10 C50 / 15W50 (All-season)
Class according to the API.	SM.			SN.

The choice of the manufacturer is not so important - often lubricants from well-known brands are practically no different from the oils of less well-known manufacturers of auto chemicals, except for the price. And it does not always make sense to overpay for the trademark.

Procedure for performing work

To begin, it is necessary to purchase consumables: the actual oil, guided by the table below, the oil filter and the new gasket for a drain plug located on the crankcase of the power unit. If it is possible - it is better to purchase original consumables:

• oil Genuine Oil 5W30 (4-liter canister, catalogue number MZ320757);
• genuine Oil 5W30 oil (Liter Canister, catalog number MZ320756);
• laying drain plug (catalog number MD050317);
• the oil filter for the power unit is 1.6 liters. (Catalog number MZ690070), Alternatively, you can use MANN W6103, Filtron P575, MAHLE C196;
• motor oil filter with a volume of 1.5 liters (catalog number MR984204, analogues - filters MANN W67, MAHLE C495, PURFLUX LS287).

In addition, you should prepare the keys to 13/17 (end / wheelboy), a special key-oil separator for a filter with a diameter of 60 mm., A bit of wood and a container to drain the spent lubricant.

Before the start of the procedure, the car should warm up a trip to 5 - 10 kilometers so that the oil becomes more fluid - in this case it will go in a more complete amount. It is necessary to take care of the possibility of unhindered access to the bottom of the car. Many overpass built in soviet times, designed for representatives of the auto industry produced in those times, and for a wide Lancer 10 may not come up - this moment must be taken into account.

We give the sequence of Mitsubishi Lancer 10:

1. Remove the engine protection, which is attached using four bolts. We use the key to 13.
   
2. We set opposite the drain hole prepared in advance the capacitance of a suitable volume (from 5 liters).
3. We unscrew the drain plug by the key to 17, at the very end we do it gently so as not to burn.
   
4. If the lubricant is lubricated from previously used according to any parameter specified in the table (type, viscosity, class), it is necessary. To do this, we twist the drain plug back, open the plug hole (tumping it counterclockwise) and, using a funnel, pour a special flushing composition in an amount of 3.5 - 4 liters into the engine. We will turn the power unit, we give it to work 10 - 15 minutes, wasting and merge the washing just as they did with the exhaust oil.
5. We spin the drain plug by changing the sealing ring to the new one.
6. Remove the oil filter. Usually in order to thwart it, the use of a special filler is required, in the future it is well unscrewed with his hands.
   
7. In a new filter, we pour engine oil by filling it in about 2/3 volumes, carefully lubricate the sealing gum with the same oil, tighten the oil filter to the regular place.
8. Remove the filler plug and proceed to the fill of fresh lubricating fluid, focusing on the points on the dipstick. When the oil reaches the middle between MIN and MAX marks, stop the fill.
   
9. We launch the engine, let him work for about 5 minutes on idling. Wasting and again check the lubrication level, usually it decreases slightly. In any case, we tighten up to the MAX label - it requires an automaker regardless of the type of power unit. The volume of engine oil, which we merged, should not act as a guideline.
10. We put in place the protection of the Carter.

Checking the oil fluid level in the engine should be performed regularly (ideally - before each departure). To do this, install the car on a strictly horizontal surface, which will exclude any errors in measurements. If the oil drains is produced on a hot engine, then the correct level check is on the cold. The fact is that with a working force unit, a lot of fluids splash on the surface of the engine, as a result of which the volume is far from complete in the pallet. Therefore, after the trip, you must give the car to stand up to 10 minutes - this time is enough for all the oil glass into the crankcase.

If as a result of the test it turns out that the level of lubricating fluid is lower than the recommended, it is necessary to simply add the required amount. And how to act if you have overdoing, and in proven it can be seen that the lubrication level came above the Max mark? In this case, you need to find a sufficiently long piece of the rubber hose and pump out the extra liquid. Technically, this may be a difficult task, so you can use a syringe without a needle, which is put on the other end of the hose. Oil pumping should be carried out until the lubrication level is listed in accordance with the regulatory indicators.

As you can see, replacement motor fluid In the power unit, Lancer 10 cannot be attributed to the procedure, the execution of which requires special skills and availability of specialized equipment (with the exception of the elbow of the oil filter, which can be purchased in any automata). Guided by the instructions given, such an operation is able to fulfill even a person rarely taking a wrench. The only nuance is if the car is new and is on warranty service, independent replacement Oils (as well as the execution of this procedure is not on the official service) will lead to a loss of warranty.

Mitsubishi Lancer 10 owners are actively discussing the issue of replacing engine oil for their cars. On the forums you can meet dozens of disputes and opinions, successful and unsuccessful experiences. But to understand the mass of this information and the grains of truth from the husk can be difficult, and there will be a lot of time for it all.

Therefore, in this article we will talk about the procedure for choosing and replacing the lubricant liquid of the Lancer motor. Perform it can be independently in garage conditionswithout referring to the service center.

The tenth Lancer is one of the most common cars in the territory of the CIS countries. Emotional and dynamic design in combination with technical characteristics and affordable price Provide such popularity of the model. However, even among the "dozen" can be found versions with different engines. Because of their diversity on the forums and such a discussion is underway to choose oil.

The most common are civil versions with engines:

• 2.0 liters;
• 1.5 liter;
• 1.6-liter, which entered the source only in 2011;
• 1.8-liter for a rather rare version of the Sportback hatchback.

So, we will look at each of the above options and the lubricant liquid recommended for it.

What motor oil is best suited for Mitsubishi Lancer 10?

When choosing an oil in general, the main parameters that are worth paying attention are viscosity and type of fluid. I think for reading it is no secret that the engine oil is three types:

• Synthetic;
• Sectanthetic;
• Mineral.

Each of these species has its own specifics. However, about it later. In addition to these characteristics, the question is over what company and which model to trust. Well, the latter in order, but not significance, are the temperature conditions of the operation of the car and the oil of the first fill. Deciding this information, you can start a confident choice.

So, the first fact that can be found out is the oil of the first fill. Why is this parameter important? Everything is simple - in case mineral oil was flooded, the synthetics are not recommended for use in the future. For Lanserov with an engine at 1.5, 1.6 and 1.8 liters of the first liquid was the original Mitsubishi Motors Genuine Oil API SM SAE 0W20. This is a synthetic energy-saving engine oil. For two-liter engines Foured Mitsubishi Motors Genuine Oil API SM SAE 5W30 - semi-synthetic. So the choice of type of fluid is not limited.

Seasonal oil for Mitsubishi Lancer 10

The next point to be taken into account is the choice of viscosity due to seasonal conditions. For the countries of the former Soviet Union, a harsh winter and a hot summer is characterized. In peak minus temperatures, the oil may lose its turnover, so high viscosity In such conditions is unacceptable.

For ease of choice, a universal SAE classification was created:

How can you make sure when the first oil bay, took into account seasonal conditions Countries in which the car was sold. For all types of engines, a liquid with the widest temperature rank was used. That is, the most universal version was selected.

However, those who read the recommendations for the operation of the car, and know that oil replacement is advised to produce after 7,500 mileage kilometers, or every 6 months, a question may arise: "Is it better to pick up oil for the season?". True, in connection with this, there are so many opinions on the Internet. There are no limitations on viscosity for Lancer, so you can easily use any type from the list if it is suitable weather conditions.

Therefore, you can choose both all-season and specific oils. The choice of seasonal fluid depends on the year of the car. The brand also depends on the year, because some of them may be incompatible with certain models of machines. So, the table below lists the desired viscosity for summer and winter, as well as recommended oil manufacturers:

Regardless of the year of the car, the synthetic or semi-synthetic will be preferable for it. Also, liquids from the original manufacturer will satisfy the Lancer requests. Therefore, you can sum up under this head of the article.

First, collect information about operating conditions and pre-flooded oil, as well as about running. Stripping from it, you can decide on the type of lubrication. If the mileage exceeds 100 thousand kilometers, then the synthetic fluid does not suit you because it is the most testicular and will flow. In this case, the choice is limited to mineral or semi-synthetic oil.

Second, select the optimal viscosity for temperature conditions. It is easy to do with the table below. After that, the last item is the choice of a liquid producer, of which we advise to contact the proven and popular brands. Thus, the selection process is completed and you can proceed directly to replacing the lubricant.

How to replace oil yourself?

It may seem strange, but there is nothing complicated in the procedure to update the lubricant fluid. It can be done in the garage conditions. But, naturally, before that, you need to stock up in some margin of knowledge and nuances, which is necessary for the success of the operation.

In addition, the tools will also be needed:

• Motor oil;
• New filter;
• Set of nuts and heads;
• Packaging under exhaust liquid;
• A lot of vet;
• Watering can;
• Safe clothing.

As soon as this set is assembled, you can start. Before starting the procedure, warm the engine for 5-7 minutes so that the oil contained in it gains the desired fluidity and successfully merged.

Position the car on a flat surface on a hole or an overpack for access to the bottom. To merge the oil, you will need to unscrew the drain valve from the corresponding hole by the head to 17. Pre-prepare the container of the decent volume - from 4 liters and more. Performing these actions, be very careful and take care of safety measures. Dress up tight clothes and close skin areas, remember that you are dealing with hot oil.

When you unscrewed drainer, Wait about a minute while it all stalks. At first, the pressure will be quite powerful, so the packaging should be high, it should not fly splashes from it. The bucket will fit perfectly.

Next to the drain hole is the oil filter, unscrew which is possible while your old oil flows. The new filter with the 196 OS number before installing is needed to fill with lubricant to avoid oil starvation when you first start. Do not regret fluid, she will all have time to absorb. Also wipe the gum at the top of the filter and fasteners, which stopped after the old filter. It is necessary in order for the filter to securely secure without dirt particles. Spin the new filter is not very tight, enough hand powder.

Next should be drained from the pallet. To do this, you can do without dismantling, and take advantage of new oil so that it washed the old. Unscrew the cork and start pouring. You will need not a lot of oil, total gram 100-200. Watch the jet - first it will be dirty, but with the arrival of the new oil it will become lighter and transparent. Wait for the maximum purity of the liquid, wipe the cork bolt and tighten it.

That's all, now you can pour a new one. In order to optimally fill the engine, measure the oil level by the dipstream, pre-proteishes it. When the level on it turns out to be sufficient, the procedure can be considered successful. Then let the oil drag to the filter - it will take no more than five minutes. After that, you can already start the car at idle. This is followed by the latest level check and, if the level has decreased, further topping. And all - the lubricating fluid has been successfully updated.

In general, the procedure is not complicated at all, it can be regularly done and to be satisfied with the results of his labor. The main thing is to comply with the frequency of replacement and not tighten with it. It is also important to use only high-quality liquid of a proven manufacturer and comply with security techniques. So simple this work is performed in the best way. Pleasant travel and reliable car work!

The replacement of Mitsubishi oil Lancer 10 is one of the basic procedures of the periodic technical car service. This means that it will have to face regularly, but it's not so difficult to do. On these photos, it is shown how to change the oil with your own hands on the Lancer X 2015 with the 1.6 engine in the body of the sedan. Replacing oil Lancer 10 1.5 is similar.

When changing oil - Typically, the oil is changed by 15,000 km run, reducing up to 10,000 in severe operating conditions, which include riding in a larger city or strongly dusty terrain. At the same time, Lancer 10 Repair Guide is advised by an oil replacement interval of 12,000 km or every 6 months under normal conditions and 6,000 and 3 months in heavy. It is worth noting that the frequent oil change can harm only the wallet.

How much oil to upload - About 4.3 liters of a new lubricant, or rather, it is possible to determine measuring the volume of the fused oil and checking the dipstick level. Escape follows two canters - by 4 and 1 liter.

What oil to fill - Repair manual advises to pour into the engine all-season oil quality not lower ACEA A3 and API SG, viscosity SAE 0W30, SAE 5W30, SAE 5W40. Popular Mitsubishi Motors Genuine Oil and Eneros Super Gasoline.

However, all these parameters are also fairly individual - for the engine 1.5 it is recommended to pour oils quality API - SN / CF and ILSAC - GF-5, and for Motor 1.6 - API - SM / CF, and ILSAC - GF-4. It is better to select based on the climatic conditions of the region.

Replacing oil Mitsubishi Lancer 10 do it yourself

What you need: keys to 13 and 17 (or ratchet head), oil filter puller, empty packaging, capable of accommodating 4.5 liters of old oil, clean rag, funnel.

The oil changes on a heated engine so it is better merged. If you unscrew the cover of the filler and lift the dipstick, then the oil will flow faster.

It is more convenient to change the oil on the overpass, ramp, lift or observation pit. But it is possible and on a flat surface, blocking the wheels, subdomains the front part and installing the support. It is also better to immediately remove the protective panel of the pallet, it is fastened with five turnkey bolts at 13.

Under the oil tray you need to install the oil drain container, then weaken the plug with the key to 17 and unscrew from the hand. It is necessary to pull the plug carefully - after all oil warm and can burn. It is worth paying attention to the drain plug laying, if it is deformed, the oil will leak - a new gasket is needed. When the oil stops flowing, you can spin the plug back.

If the new oil is another brand than the previously filled - you need to wash the lubricant system!

Draining old butter and non-touching old oil filter, you need to pour into the engine wash oil or new Mark.. Then start the engine and give it to work at idle 10 minutes. After drowning out the motor, merge the oil and proceed to replacing the oil filter.

Replacing the oil filter May require that if the filter does not want to unscrew from hand. At the same time, some oil is poured out of it, so it is necessary to make a container. A rubber band of the new oil filter must be lubricated fresh oil Before returning. The filter is twisted by hand, tightening no more than three-quarters of turnover after the first resistance appears.

Making sure that the filter and the drain plug are well twisted, you can pour new oil. To do this, set the funnel into the fuel throat and pour four with a small liter of oil. Upload the whole volume immediately not the most successful thought - has negative consequences.

Therefore, the bay is slightly less needed volume, you should spin the lid and run the engine for several minutes. While it works, you can check the filter and drain plug on the sublifting. If there is, it means to tighten. Loading the motor and waving a little while the oil flows into the pallet, it is necessary to check the oil level. It should be between tags, closer to the top (MAX). The pallet protection is placed in the reverse order.

Mitsubishi Lancer 10 is a stylish car with a classic sporty design. Despite the outdated design, the model is still in demand. Since most owners have a car out of warranty period, so the question of the possibility of independent mitsubishi service Lancer. Fortunately, the car is considered quite reliable, since it is made of high-quality materials. And yet, time takes its own, and you need to replace at least consumables. In this article, consider one of the most important service tasks Mitsubishi Lancer - how to choose high-quality engine oil for this car.

The engine ruler for Mitsubishi Lancer is extensive and varied, so it is not surprising that there are many discussions on the forums about the choice suitable liquid For a motor. So, Lancer 10 is equipped gasoline engines 1.5, 1.6, 1.8 and 2.0 liters.

View of oil

There are many criteria for choosing engine oil. And yet, you can highlight the main of them. For example, oil is three species - synthetic, semi-synthetic and mineral. Each type has its own specificity, its own level of viscosity, tolerance, etc. This very important topic affects the entire article. At the same time, the question of which manufacturer of oil to trust the most is worth it is equally important and relevant. Naturally, it is necessary to pay for temperature parameters to which the fluid should be selected. Make sure that these parameters specified on the product label with the parameters in the Lancer X user manual, you can confidently choose oil.

Oil of the first fill

This is one initial facts to pay attention to. The fact is that it is recommended to pour the oil that was covered initially from the factory. For example, it is mineral grease. So, in the future you need to fill only the synthetics - even if there was a question of choice between mineral water and better and expensive synthetics. In any case, in the presence of financial opportunities, it is advisable to consider primarily the original oil - for example, Mitsubishi Genuine Oil API SM SAE 0W20. This lubricant is recommended for use in engines in which synthetic oil was originally flooded. Often, such oil is excellent for motors with a volume of 1.5, 1.6 and 1.8 liters. As for two-liter engines, a semi-synthetic substance can be advised for owners of such engines. Mitsubishi Genuine Oil API SM SAE 5W30.

Viscosity selection

Viscosity is the key cell selection parameter directly depending on the climatic environmental conditions, in which Mitsubishi Lancer X is operated. We will pay attention to the post-Soviet countries are characterized by a harsh winter climate, as well as a very hot summer season. Based on this, for example, for minus temperatures, oil with such a viscosity should be selected so that it does not freeze in such conditions. To simplify the choice, oil manufacturers compiled the so-called SAE classification:

• Viscosity parameters winter oils: SAE 0W, SAE 5W, SAE 10W, SAE 15W, SAE 20W
• Viscosity parameters summer oils: SAE 30, SAE 40, SAE 50
• Viscosity parameters of all-season oils: SAE 5W-40, SAE 5W-30, SAE 10W30, SAE 10W-40, SAE 15W-40, SAE 20W-50.

The Mitsubishi Lancer X engine was poured at the plant with appropriate viscosity parameters that are suitable for certain climatic regions. The most popular is considered universal, that is, the all-season fluid. It has a wider range of supported temperatures. But with this another question arises - whether it is worth buying all-season if, according to the instruction manual, the engine oil in the Mitsubishi Lancer x engine is calculated on 7,500 kilometers of the run, or six months. Based on this, many doubt the need to choose the all-season fluid, and therefore buy seasonal oil. There are many opinions about this.
