Which is better? I'll be running PYB 5W-30 in a dusty climate, and will probably add only about 1500 miles in the next 6 months before I do another change.
2014 Mitusbishi Mirage ES CVT
Doesn't the manual call for 0w20 for this like my Outlander Sport?
I do use 5w20 in one and I have another I'm using 0W20
I have ran three OCI's in one with PYB 5w20 with great results- Fram Ultra
At 1500 miles and 6 months, I wouldn't change the oil or filter. You can go safely for at least a year, even with the cheap filter. As stated above, I'd worry more about keeping the air filter tight and clean.
Dusty climate would prefer base-end bypass. But modern filters have too small a form factor for this gizmo.
Try Honda pcx-004 or Gonher in my sig. Most Asian cars use same filter form factor(can)/ base , gasket, threaded hole: They are: Honda/Subaru/Nissan some Kia/Hyundai/some Mitsu.

Yes, but I'm running my Mirage in a hot and dusty environment, and the engine clatters on 0W-20. It's nuch smoother running 5W-30 in winter and 10W-40 in summer.

Thanks, I change the oil/filter to keep up with the warranty.
