Mitsu dealer should have gl4. You could probably go to the toyota dealer with a container and buy some off of them. They probably have a drum of it

you might want to pose this question on [bobistheoilguy.com](http://bobistheoilguy.com)

I beleive that gl5 means its at least semi synthetic, gl4 means its non synthetic.

Surely walmart or somebody carries some havoline or something non synthetic.

dan georger only has 5 gallon pails that they wont sell, i know cuz i’ve tried for my eclipse and 3000gt. i tried calling ray laks mitsubishi and the parts guy on the phone thought gl4 oil was for an automatic so i’m gonna stay away from taht guy, i think im just gonna use the hyundai stuff at work, it says its a synthetic base so it cant be that bad
