How much oil does a Mitsubishi Lancer take?

Your Lancer will probably take about four litres’ worth of oil during a standard service, although this may vary slightly based on the year and model. At mycar, our Essential and Essential Plus servicing includes up to eight litres of premium engine oil, so you’ll always have more than enough for your Lancer.

How often should you change the oil in a Mitsubishi Lancer?

The recommended Mitsubishi Lancer oil change interval is every 5,000 km to 10,000 km. Where you fall within this range will depend on how you drive your car, how quickly you clock up the kilometres and whether there are any modifications to your vehicle. We suggest sticking to the shorter end of this period if you are unsure, but your local

mycar oil change expert will be able to provide personalised advice.

What is the Mitsubishi Lancer oil type?

The best engine oil for a Mitsubishi Lancer is fully synthetic, 5w20 or 5w30 oil. The age of your Lancer will play a part in which it prefers, and your mycar specialist will help you decide which premium oil is best for your car when you bring it in for a service.
