In the Mitsubishi Galant, it is recommended to use engine oils with the ILSAC certification mark and a viscosity rating of SAE 5W-20. If you cannot find an ILSAC certified oil, you can use an API classification SM oil as an alternative. It is important to regularly check the engine oil level, ideally weekly or every time you refuel your tank. Maintaining proper oil levels is essential for optimal engine performance, and regular oil changes are necessary for a long engine life. The Galant's oil pan holds 4.2 quarts of oil, and the oil filter contains 0.32 quarts. It is advised to change the oil and filter every 7,500 miles, but do not wait more than 12 months – changing them twice a year is even better.
The Mitsubishi Galant's owner's manual specifies using SAE 5W-20 synthetic motor oil as the recommended oil type.
