What engine oil should you use for a 2001 Mitsubishi Mirage 1.5?

Answer 1

5w-30. Maybe 10w-30 if the climate is hot. No more than a 30 weight because of the tight clearences in the engine. A 40 weight will retard performance. A 20 weight will not protect your engine in the long run. As far as what brand of oil, the best brand of oil is the one that you change with your filter every 3-5000 miles. I have read countless used oil analysis and virgin oil analysis reports on hundreds of oils and that is the best and most honest answer proven.
