The 2017 Mitsubishi Lancer requires SAE 0W-20 motor oil, and Mitsubishi suggests using full synthetic oil during oil changes. Synthetic oil offers better protection for your engine's moving parts compared to conventional oil. There are two main types of oil: synthetic and conventional. Synthetic oil lasts longer and provides improved lubrication compared to conventional, which is made from petroleum. Typically, with synthetic oil, you can go 7,500 miles between oil changes, whereas conventional oil requires changes every 3,500 to 5,000 miles. Remember to regularly check your oil levels at least once a month and look out for any debris or signs of oil burning, as these could indicate issues with internal components.
Your 2017 Mitsubishi Lancer is designed to run on SAE 0W-20 full synthetic engine oil.
