The correct choice of oil for Outlander is the key to the durability of the engine.
On the forums of fans of this car, you can find hundreds of different opinions about what kind of oil is poured into the Outlander engine. You can get confused.
We draw on our experience with Outlander overhaul and engine performance with a variety of oils. Therefore, we came to the conclusion that Mobil 1 oil is the best for all generations of a car and all engines.
We have been working with this oil for 7 years and we can confidently recommend it to our clients. Thousands of hours of testing in the urban cycle, off-road, at maximum engine loads and high speeds - this oil passed 5 points!
- For engines 2.0 / 2.4 / 3.0 l. and cars with mileage over 90 thousand km. We recommend Mobil 1 5W50.
- With a low mileage Outlander (up to 40 thousand km), Mobil 1: 5W30 and 5W40 oils are used.
According to our data, for 3 generations of Outlander, the average mileage has exceeded 90 thousand km. In a car with such mileage, the oil scraper rings do not fit so tightly to the cylinders, which subsequently leads to oil burn. 5w50, due to its high viscosity, is well removed from the cylinder walls, which will prevent oil from entering the combustion chamber - with this oil the engine will work much longer.
WARNING: about 60% of products on the domestic market of motor oils are fake !!! Buy car oils only from trusted sellers and specialized car services.
Best regards, Outlander-Service!
Lubricants should be selected taking into account their classification according to generally accepted systems and the availability of manufacturer's tolerances for the car model of interest on a grease canister. The use of an inappropriate quality car oil reduces the efficiency of the engine, leading to an increase in fuel consumption. This article describes the recommended engine oil for Mitsubishi Outlander.
2004 model year
Naturally aspirated cars
An engine oil that meets the characteristics of the Mitsubishi Outlander engine must meet the following standards:
- oil classes A1, A2 or A3 according to the ACEA system;
- type of motor oil SG (or higher) in accordance with API requirements.
The Mitsubishi Outlander manual indicates that the selection of lubricant is affected by the ambient temperature. The choice of lubricant should be based on the average monthly temperature of the air. The car manufacturer has established a relationship between the temperature conditions of the region in which the car will be used and the viscosity of the car oil. Diagram 1 shows this dependence for models without turbocharging.
Scheme 1. Influence of air temperature on the viscosity of motor fluid for cars without turbocharging. According to Scheme 1, it is necessary to use the following lubricants:
- in a wide temperature range from -35 0 С (or less) to +50 0 С (and more) 5w-40 is poured;
- if the temperature indicator is less than +40 0 С, use 0w-30, 5w-30;
- the working temperature range for 10w-30 is from -25 0 С to +40 0 С;
- 10w-40 or 10w-50 are poured if the temperature is more than -25 0 С;
- for a temperature index above -15 0 С, greases 15w-40, 15w-50 are recommended;
- 20w-40, 20w-50 is used if the average monthly thermometer is above -10 0 C.
The manufacturer indicates that lubricants with a viscosity of 0w-30, 5w-30 or 5w-40 are permissible to use if they meet A3 according to the ACEA system and SG (or higher) according to API standards.

Conclusion
Recommended engine oil for Mitsubishi Outlander is poured to exclude the possibility of overheating of the power unit, as well as to ensure its protection against abrasion. When using auto oils recommended by the car dealer, it is forbidden to pour in additional additives, they can accelerate the wear of the power unit.
The manufacturer indicated that even the recommended engine oil, after some time, begins to lose its original properties "aging". The processes of "aging" of the lubricant are inevitable regardless of the base from which it is made (synthetic, semi-synthetic, mineral). Therefore, it is necessary to change the lubricant in a timely manner.
It is a mandatory part of routine maintenance. Many drivers, relying on the unpretentiousness of the Mitsubishi Outlander's engine, neglect this procedure in order to save money. This carelessness results in reduced engine life and poor performance. In addition to the replacement frequency, it is important to select the right lubricant for the type of engine. Inconsistency leads to poor performance and increased gasoline consumption. If the intensity of car use does not require replacement more often than once a year, then it makes sense to use all-season options. The type of oil recommended for Outlander is 5w40 - an all-season type applicable in a wide temperature range: from -30 to +40 degrees Celsius.
A correct oil change in a Mitsubishi Outlander engine requires an oil change only in an increasing system.
How to tell if it's time to replace
- bad weather conditions: sharp temperature changes, high humidity, severe frosts;
- unfavorable environment: dirt, dust;
- engine operation under high load;
- driving short distances in heavy traffic with frequent stops, especially in cold weather.
In Outlander XL, a 3-liter version of the model, it is also recommended every 10-15 thousand km. You also need to do this at least once a year, even if during this time you have not reached the declared mileage. Despite the fact that the shelf life of most brands is about 5 years, being in the engine, the oil contacts the environment and oxidizes. It also accumulates soot, water, unburned fuel residues, dust, engine wear products and decomposition products of the lubricant itself. The components that provide viscosity lose their effectiveness over time as a result of oxidation, which leads to various deposits and engine pollution. Therefore, the decision to replace should be made not only on the basis of mileage and operating conditions, but also depending on the time since the previous maintenance.
How to choose the right oil
For Mitsubishi Outlander there are a number of recommended oils, the choice of which depends on the operating temperature. The higher the temperature, the more viscosity it must have in order to maintain sufficient pressure. Recommended oil types are shown in the table:
| Quality standard | Temperature range | Recommended oil |
| Mitsubishi Outlander 2003 - 2006 | ||

XL and 3 models require a higher oil quality. You can determine the type by temperature and viscosity as follows:
- the letter W in the abbreviation denotes the possibility of winter use;
- to find out the lower temperature limit, you need to subtract 30 - 35 degrees from the first digit (for example, 5W40 assumes the use of up to 20 - 25 degrees of frost);
- the second digit indicates the limit values \u200b\u200bin hot weather (5W40 - up to 40 degrees of heat).
Important! When changing the type of oil, you can only go up in the quality classification system. It is only necessary to go 1 - 2 points, since the lubricant for modern engines can be too aggressive for older models.
You can determine if you need to replace it from the technical documentation for the car. For "Outlander" models, the following values \u200b\u200bshould be followed:
- 2003 - 2010 (2.0) - 4.3 liters.;
- 2003 - 2006 (2.0 Turbo) - 4.6 liters.;
- 2010 - 2013 (2.3) - 5.5 liters;
- 2004 - 2010 (2.4) - 4.6 liters.;
- 2007 - 2009 (2.2 diesel) - 5.3 liters;
- 2010 - 2013 (2.2) - 5.5 liters.
For the Mitsubishi XL and Outlander 3 models, the volume of engine oil will be 4.3 - 4.6 liters. All values \u200b\u200bare based on a consumption of 0.3 liters. on the oil filter. For all types of engines, use only synthetic or semi-synthetic oil. The manufacturer recommends Mitsubishi Motor Oil branded oil, and among the best brands of synthetics and semi-synthetics it is worth noting:
- Mobil 1;
- Castrol;
- Shell;
- Valvoline;
Replacement tools
For in the Mitsubishi Outlander engine 3 and earlier you will need:
- open end wrench 17 mm .;
- oil filter remover;
- container for draining;
- rags (preferably);
- oil filter.
You may also need flushing fluid and various additives to improve engine performance. Flushing is required in the following cases:
- you are going to add another type or brand of oil;
- the car was operated in extreme conditions with increased loads.
The question of the use of additives is relevant for old engines, but the expediency causes a lot of controversy among specialists. Additive components can have unexpected interactions with the engine and should be selected with caution.
Replacement process
Technically, the whole procedure is reduced to 3 stages:
- draining old oil;
- flushing the engine (if necessary);
- bay of the new.
How to properly drain the oil in the "Outlander" engine
Independently "Mitsubishi Outlander" when replacing it, you can according to the following instructions:
Important! Hot oil has better fluidity, therefore it is better to drain it with a warm engine.
How to fill in new oil
If you decide to flush the engine, then after draining the old grease, you must fill in the flushing fluid according to the instructions. Some products have a quick effect, allowing you to start filling with new oil in 5 - 15 minutes. And in some cases, before proceeding to the next stage, it is necessary to drive the car for 1 - 2 days, after which the procedure for draining the waste fluid is repeated.
To complete the replacement process, do the following:
According to the instructions given, you can do it yourself by changing the oil in the Mitsubishi Outlander engine 3 and earlier. The most difficult and painstaking stage is the draining of the old waste fluid, it requires patience and accuracy. It is not recommended to flush the motor on your own without first diagnosing it at a service center.
