Is my lancer a gts ?
I bought a used 2010 lancer with 12,000 miles three months ago and the salesman said it was a gts model. It has a tipped exhaust, stock spoiler and paddle shifters. I went to get an oil change and when I checked under the hood the sticker said it was a 2.0 litter engine. Gts engines are 2.4. Is my car a gts? Is the sticker mistaken?
Is this common? Thanks

if you're going to make multiple threads for the same question on different boards then at least have the courtesy to check each of them. im trying to help you out here lol. heres my reply from your other thread.
the code will be on the right side. see the pic for reference
thats weird. you do have a gts because of the paddles, but if you think you have a 2.0 engine than you may have bought a 2008 gts
check the engine code that is engraved where the oil filter is mounted.
open you hood and look down in the space in between the radiator and the plastic intake manifold.
you should see a piece of metal that has the oil filter below it (right under the plastic intake manifold).
on that piece of metal there should be one of three codes
4b10 is the 1.8L
4b11 is the 2.0L
4b12 is the 2.4L
post a pic of your engine bay and i might be able to tell based on the engine cover.
