Can you use synthetic oil in 1998 lancer?
no problem in using synthetic oils as lubricant for this model.. but i myself use virgin oil. for me it is better for older car models.. i dont think there is a problem doing so - synthetic oil is just a lubricant like standard oil. I believe it is undesirable to mix it with standard though so you would want to change and flush the old oil type before using synthetic. it is also questionable if the benefit would make the additional cost worthwhile - I would doubt it.

How is synthetic oil made?
"Synthetic motor oil" is made from petrochemicals (petroleum distillates) that are altered to provide superior lubrication or endurance as compared to standard mineral oils.
