Your 1996 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 is the 92nd out of the 315 that were made that year. Only 21 of which are exactly identical.

You cant run 20w 50 all year round in a cold weather climate. Its 10W 30 for both if I remember right.

you can run 20w-50 year round...i used to think (and say on here) that you should switch to 10w-30 for winter, but i've been running 20w-50 through the winter (NY) with no change in performance/start-up even when temps are below 10 degrees. I had ran 10w-30 at the start of winter and i was losing oil somewhere, as soon as i switched back to 20w-50 i stopped losing oil, and i think it help w/ lifter tick (lasted longer without the tick between oil changes)
