    Factory Oil Type for Outlander PHEV

    That is not in the USA manual, must be Euro or Poland specific. If I had to lean towards one side, I would go thinner, simply because of the on-and-off nature of the phev's ICE, which puts more importance on fast oil movement (another example of on-and-off engines, the 2018 Toyota Camry hybrid...

    Factory Oil Type for Outlander PHEV

    I don't know, I took the manual to mean only one engine oil is recommended: Mitsubishi Motors Genuine 0W-20 Synthetic Engine Oil is recommended for optimum fuel economy and cold weather starting. If Mitsubishi Motors Genuine 0W-20 Synthetic Engine Oil is not available, 5W-20 grade oils...

    2019 Outlander PHEV reviews and what we know

    Thanks, posted. MY2019 looks good in silver, especially with the newer silver trimmings, including the wheels.

    Factory Oil Type for Outlander PHEV

    The USA manual recommends 0W-20 Synthetic, so can't imagine they will put anything less than they recommend. There are also some suggestions that manufacturers coat internal engine parts with special lubricants that then becomes part of the engine oil, creating a unique break-in mixture. Either...

    2019 Outlander PHEV reviews and what we know

    Honestly, most of these reviews are bad (not very detailed, no unique pictures, little details on comparisons with the pre-revision or other brands, etc). The one from Express reads as a fake review, there are tons of them on the 'net - regurgitating specs, factory/press release pictures...

    2019 Outlander PHEV reviews and what we know

    I use my phone over the car's built-in gps, so this doesn't bother me so much. What does bother me though is Renault (and ultimately Mitsubishi) going with Android Auto, this I don't agree with since the car should be phone neutral...

    2019 Outlander PHEV reviews and what we know

    Is the MY2018 red color different than MY2019 red color? It looks different in the pictures I'm seeing, but I'm not sure.

    Thanks, I'll update the OP with it, Google translator can make it readable in English for me. I like to see different reviews showing different colors, it was nice to see one in silver.

    That's the biggest drift I've seen on an Outlander :)

    2019 Outlander PHEV reviews and what we know

    Actually, Toyota's PHEV system will be used in the Subaru Crosstrek: https://cleantechnica.com/2018/05/21/subaru-finally-introduces-its-1st-ever-plug-in-hybrid-the-crosstrek-phev As for Hyundai and Ford, they do have PHEV experience with the Sonata and Mondeo/Fusion, respectively. But all 3...

    Hard to believe same time next year, we'll have 3 additional phev choices: Subaru Crosstek, Hyundai Santa Fe, and Ford Kuga/Escape.

    2019 Outlander PHEV reviews and what we know

    Sorry for the back and forth, the forked MY2019 (new skin, old powertrain) is now reality: https://www.motoring.com.au/mitsubishi-launches-cut-price-suvs-114463 This undoubtedly means US and CAN will be receiving the forked version for MY2019.

    2019 Outlander PHEV reviews and what we know

    The latest information for North America (NA) now shows that MY2019 will not be a forked version, that is, one with the newer skin but older powertrain, as suggested in this March 2018 memo: http://www.myoutlanderphev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3707 . Rather, MY2019 will be largely the same...

    MY2019 Outlander phev finally "reaches" Japan, 23 days after UK: http://www.mitsubishi-motors.co.jp/lineup/outlander_phev/index.html and: http://www.mitsubishi-motors.co.jp/lineup/outlander_phev/special_portal/ The S edition retains its exclusive Bilstein struts/shocks, implying that it still...

    MY2019 Outlander PHEV 2.4 4H - My Test Drive Weekend.

    This will soon feel outdated as stop-and-go dynamic cruise control eventually proliferates. Since Nissan already has it on the Rogue and Leaf, it's a certainty for the next Outlander phev. According to the Car Question tests, Outlander PHEV does well in snow, not so much in sand or diagonal...

    2019 Outlander PHEV reviews and what we know

    Not good, not only has Aron from Continental said MY2019 will not get the powertrain updates, now Zack from Michaud Mitsubishi (MA) said the same thing. He did say all other updates (soundproofing, spot welding, suspension upgrades, etc) will be making it for MY2019, I'm guessing they're saving...
