Engine oil and oil filter
9-6 Vehicle care and maintenance

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
or higher 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.
CAUTION
Overfilling will cause oil aeration and loss of
oil pressure, which could damage the engine.
WARNING
Used engine oil is poisonous, and can dam-
age your skin. Prolonged and repeated
contact may cause serious skin disorders,
including dermatitis and cancer. Do not let
used oil touch your skin and wash thor-
oughly after working with it.
Keep used oil out of the reach of children.
NOTE
Engine oil consumption is greatly influenced
by payload, engine speed, etc.
Good
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”.
