I wish Mitsubishi hadn't sold their factory/plant in Normal, Illinois. The L200 could have been built here.
I've actually seen someone driving a L200 in Wisconsin twice now. I am not sure the circumstances of how they have it here? I am not confusing it with something like the Mighty Max either. It's a modern 4-door Mitsubishi pickup that looks exactly like the L200. It's a nice newer truck with the 3 diamond Mitsubishi symbol up front. It's caught my attention (light tan in color) in a nearby town while I have been driving through it twice now.
We don't get that L200 truck in Canada either. Accidental rollover effect from not importing small trucks to the USA.
However, you can get that truck in the UK and Australia. I like small trucks myself, although that looks midsized..like the size of a Tacoma. I wonder if Mitsubishi makes the L200 2 door nowadays. Doubtful.

I wish our American owner's manual was that honest about oil!
Apparently, 0W-20 will get everyone past the warranty period without issue.
Commonsense tells me to use 0W-20 during our Wisconsin winter months, and 5W-30 during the warmer months of the year. I haven't started doing that yet, but I have surely thought about it.
This is what my owner's manual states about oil for the Mirage -
Mitsubishi Motors Genuine 0W-20 Synthetic Engine Oil is recommended for optimum fuel economy and cold weather starting.
If Mitsubishi Motors Genuine 0W-20 Synthetic Engine Oil is not available, 5W-20 grade oils displaying the ILSAC certification can be used.
However, Mitsubishi Motors Genuine 0W-20 Synthetic Engine Oil should be used at the next oil change to maintain optimum fuel economy and cold weather starting.
There is no mention of 5W-30 or 10W-30 oil in our owner's manual.
