I'm not sure if that's such a great idea. Good oil yes, but for a diesel engine, not so much a psycho g54bt. I'm just going to guess that is a transfer container for some other oil .Other wise that will probably use quite a bit, seeing that Delo is designed for engines that produce diesel soot and are "redlined" at three grand. That motor in the Starion would look even more beautiful with a valve cover that has Mitsubishi script along with the diamond star right on the rear center . <em>[a few of those in the garage - ed] </em> You can find them on a handful of the 84-86? Caravans, Voyagers and Ram vans,( well hell maybe even a LeBaron or a 600 I suppose) before Mitsu sold Chrysler the 3.0L V6 engines that replaced the nervous 2.6L hemi.

I'd just like to add that the oil will be less viscous (more runny) when it's hot, so will drain into the pan (sump!) more quickly. With this in mind, if you normally park on a slope, make sure the engine's warmed up before you check it.
