hi to all members, thank you for contributing your time and knowledge to this forum.
for the past week, i have learned that choosing the right engine oil, is difficult, and complex.
so i'm asking for your help.
i have 2011 mitsubishi pajero\montero\shogun 3.2 diesel.(200hp)
my warranty is over, so i want to change the oil+minor things on my own.
and to know that the oil i pay for, is the best for my engine, and not some 5w30 label oil in the dealership.
here's the manufacture spec's:
5w30
ACEA: A5\B5 A4\B4 A3\B3
API-CF4
ok, from what i have learned is:
A5\B5 is top line, combining of A1B1-A3B3-A4B4
CF4 is obsolete, CF is better.
here's where i find it difficult to choose, i have 2 systems(catalytic converter + DPF) on my car that need ACEA: C1, C2, C3.
+
a1b1 a3b3 a4b4
i looked at this brands: Royal purple(good for the engine, very bad for DPF & catalytic converter).
AMSOIL, Mobil1, Valvoline, Motul, Castrol, Liqui molly,.
so, i ask for your advice, what oil would be best, for my engine?
thank in advance.
