Mitsu calls for Mobil 1 10W-30 in all climate conditions.

With my 2.1 I use the amsoil dominator 10W30 in the winter time and in the summer either their 15W50 blend or Brad Penn 20W50.

In the winter stick with a lower cold weight and let it warm up. We stay in the low 30's all winter here in Pittsburgh.

I would go with the amsoil if you are stock block. What turbo? If its an FP remember the Red or Black need a high Zinc and Phos content. The dominator series fulfill these requirements.

I have a 6262 stock internals and stock block. I just put 5w30 in it so that will be alright? Do you like your 2.1?

I thought dominator is only a race fluid
