The maintenance schedule booklet for my 2025 reads the engine oil an filter should be changed every 8000 km in the case of normal vehicule service, and 6000 km in the case of severe service, which I qualify beause the roads are salty here in the winter.
I expect to drive 75% in EV mode, and I expect the ICE to run 25% of the time. This means over a distance of 6000 km, the ICE would have run for approximately the equivalent of 25% of that or 1500 km. My estimation of 25% includes the 5 minute periods where the ICE starts and runs from time to time while driving.
The question is: change engine oil at 1500 km, really?
Nonsense to me.
This is worse than in the 1950's where the oil was dumped every 3000 milles (or 5000 km).
What if change the oil at 24000 km, which would mean the ICE ran an equivalent of 6000 km? Or change the oil at least once a year, minimum?
will Mitsubishi deny warranty repairs if I cant produce invoices showing oil changes at every 6000 km?
