What type of oil do you use for a 2001 Mitsubishi Mirage?

I just bought a 2001 Mitsubishi Mirage, the owners manual wasn’t
with it, was hoping someone knew what type of oil to use. My guess
is 10W-30 But I want to make sure its the right oil for the
car.

According to the Mobil website your car calls for 5w-30. If you
live in an area where the temperature drops below 0 Fahrenheit this
is the the viscosity to use. Reason being: 80% of all engine wear
occurs during the first few seconds the car is started. It’s
imparitive the oil in the crankcase is pumped to critical engine
parts quickly. Higher viscosity motor oil actually makes the oil
pump work harder throughout the rpm range.This costs efficienty and
horsepower. Lighter viscosity oil "adsorbs" heat inside your motor
more efficiently keeping internal parts cooler, and helps give you
better gas mileage. The correct viscosity will allow the starter to
crank the engine easier in cold weather, particularly if your car
is parked outdoors.
Don’t use…
