Here i go with the oil thread again, anywho, went to mitsubishi dealer to talk to them about what oil they use, they said they use oil known as Castrol FMX, and they want to charge me $36.50, but i need to bring my own container, fair enough,

anyway i go to the castrol website and search for FMX and comes up with this

Castrol
FMX 15W-40 Castrol FMX 15W-40 is an advanced semi-synthetic SAE 15W-40 turbo tested, oil formulated to provide additional protection.

and also this

Castrol
Magnatec FMX 10W-30
Castrol Magnatec FMX 10W-30 is an advanced fuel efficient SAE 10W-30 semi-synthetic engine oil that utilises Unique Molecular Attraction to form a lubricating surface on engine parts, protecting vital components at start-up and during warm-up like no 'normal' oil.

so anyone know which one it is, or do different dealers use different oil?

I just bought a TL recently and before driving out from the Mistubishi dealer, he told me if i ever attempt of changing the oil on my own, that i should look no further then Magnatec. And he did also mention something about the FMX oil, but i was too excited about my new car to be able to listen to him properly. :D
