Engine Oil/ Brand And Type


Can someone suggest me an engine oil brand and type for my ´99 Lancer GLXi (1.600cc/fuel inyection) with a 4G92 engine, 75.000 miles?

I`ve heard that a sintetic one should be the best option but I´m not pretty sure.

TXS

+75k in mileage. Don't use syth, unless you have new valve seals and piston rings.

Syth is cleaner and thinner a bit. Otherwise, you'll start burning oil out of the tailpipe.


I use valvoline. I used to go for Mobil 1, but cost of it starting to hike.

Men, I was visiting some dealers and the only thing you can buy around here (besides the national brand-wich I do not recomend) is Shell-Helix and Lubrax (Petrobras oil Brand). Any suggestions between these two?

never heard of lubrax but if shell-helix is from shell as in the gas station, than use that.
