I actually told the service advisor about the 10K change-oil interval of some Strada owners using synthetic oils but according to him this arrangement is not being done at their service center so using either ordinary oil or full synthetic oil will still have to follow the 5000 km change oil interval. One of these days I will try dropping by sa Urdaneta Motorplaza service center to inquire about this matter. Iisa lang kasi ang Mitsubishi service center dito sa Baguio so no choice but to accept whatever is being imposed.

Thank you for the info, sir Bobcas. Noted the oil filter part number. Will check with the service center if they can still do the required PMS if I provide the oil filter. 1,260 is a huge difference sa price ng oil filter ng casa.
