Anyone know what type of oil (viscosity and whether it's synthetic or not) the Outlander PHEVs have when they roll out of the factory?

STS134 said:Dealership told me it's 0W-20 synthetic. They should really tell this to everyone, as it's important to tell the lab what type it is for oil analysis.
STS134 said:Manual recommends several types of oil, it doesn't say ONLY 0W-20 is acceptable.
Select engine oil of the proper SAE viscosity
number according to the atmospheric
temperature.
SAE 0W-20, 0W-30, 5W-30, and 5W-40
engine oils can only be used if they meet
ACEA A3/B3, A3/B4 or A5/B5 and API
SG (or higher) specifications.

I was asking for 0w-20 oil on my 1st service, but they told me that recommended oil was 5w-30
Interesting enough on my 2nd service using a different Mitsubishi dealer , it was suggested to use 5w-40
Here temperature is as low as -23c (-15c happen every year in winter), and as high as +35c in summer
