What type of transmission fluid does a 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse take?

Valvoline MaxLife Synthetic Transmission Fluid Multi-Vehicle 1 Quart.

What kind of transmission fluid does a 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse take?

The 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse has a dexron VI synthetic automatic transmission fluid as its recommended type.

What type of transmission fluid does a 2004 Mitsubishi Eclipse take?

Mitsubishi Eclipse Automatic Transmission 2004, Professional™ Full Synthetic Dexron™ VI Automatic Transmission Fluid, 1 Gallon by ACDelco®. Oil Base: Full Synthetic. Oil Type: Dexron VI.

What kind of transmission fluid does a 2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse take?

Lubegard Synthetic Synthetic Transmission Fluid Dexron VI 1 Quart.

What kind of oil does a 2004 Mitsubishi Eclipse take?

Engine Oil

SAE 5W-30 is preferred.

What kind of oil does a 2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse take?

SAE 5W-20 is preferred. Capacity: 4.5 quarts. . . .

What is SAE 5w30?

What is 5w30 oil? 5w30 is a motor oil that is widely used in light-duty petrol and diesel engines. Like most motor oils produced today, 5w30 is a multi-grade oil, meaning it ranges from a lower viscosity grade of 5 to a higher viscosity grade of 30.

Can I use 15w40 instead of 5w30?

5w30 flows better than 15w40. 5w30 provides best cold start properties. Using 15w40 instead of 5w30 will increase your fuel consumption because of more load on your engine's crank. No, you won't blow a head gasket, but 15W40 is too heavy an oil to use where 5W30 is required.

Can I use 5w30 instead of 0w20?

0w20 is a fully synthetic motor oil. 0w being the winter weight, the viscosity of the oil at freezing temperatures. 20 is the finishing weight or how thick it is, when the engine is at operating temperature. 5w30 can be fully synthetic, however, putting it into your engine which is designed for 0w20 is a bad idea.

What kind of oil does a 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse take?

Engine Oil

SAE 5W-20 is preferred. Capacity: 4.5 quarts. . . .

Can I use 5w40 instead of 5W-30?

There's not going to be much functional difference between a 5w-30 and 5w-40 as there's a lot of functional overlap in the recommendations. The lower weight might yield better efficiency under light load operating conditions, but higher weight might yield better protection under higher load operating conditions.

Can I use 5W 20 instead of 5W-30?

It is not safe to use 5w20 instead of 5w30. 5W20 is thinner and made for colder temperature. If you use 5w20 in warmer temperature instead of 5w30, you may have to deal with more friction and faster engine wear. Eventually your engine performance and longevity will be affected.

Can I use 5W-30 instead of SAE 5W-30?

5w-30 is fine to use. It has the same flow rate as SAE30 at normal operating temps. The way oil works is, the first number is flow rate at ambient temp.

Will 15w40 hurt a gas engine?

Will 15w40 Hurt A Gas Engine? If you use 15w40 instead of 5w30, you will consume more fuel because the crank on your engine will be more loaded. The oil won't blow off, so you'll just wear out your engine faster, because the oil won't flow to the moving parts as quickly.

When should I use 15w40 oil?

ADVANTAGE 15W-40 HEAVY DUTY DIESEL ENGINE OIL can be used with complete success in over-the-road diesel trucks, off-highway diesel equipment, farm tractors, and passenger cars and light trucks with diesel, turbo-charged diesel engines, or gasoline engines and is backward compatible with previous API Oil Categories.

Is 15w40 thicker than 5w30?

Which oil is thicker, 5W30 or 15W40? - Quora. Not answering technically here but 15W 40 is thicker compare to 5W 30 but their application is more in Diesel engines compare to petrol engines.
