For your 1993 Mitsubishi CC Lancer wagon with the 1.8L 16-valve 4G93 engine, the recommended engine oil viscosity typically depends on climate. Since you're in Australia, where temperatures are generally mild to warm, here’s what’s usually specified:
-
Recommended oil viscosity: SAE 10W-30 or 10W-40
-
For hotter climates or high-load use: 15W-40 can also be a good choice
-
Oil specification standard: Use oil that meets API SJ or newer
Make sure it’s a quality mineral or semi-synthetic oil unless the engine has been rebuilt or modified for full synthetic. Always check the dipstick level regularly, especially with older engines, and change the oil every 5,000–7,500 km depending on usage.
