The 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse comes with either a 2.4 L 4-cylinder or a 3.8 L V6 engine. It requires SAE 5W-20 synthetic oil for temperatures below 100°F and 10W-30 for temperatures above 100°F. The oil capacity is 4.5 quarts with a filter, and the torque for the drain plug should be between 26 to 32 ft/lbs. Maintaining proper oil levels is crucial as it helps keep the engine clean and lubricates parts to reduce friction. It is recommended to change the oil and filter every 5,000 miles, costing around $30 to $40 for labor plus parts. Doing the oil change yourself can save you money, taking about 5 to 15 minutes.
