How often should I change the oil in my 2006 Mitsubishi Raider?

Can I use synthetic oil in my 2006 Mitsubishi Raider?
Yes. 5W-20 is widely available as a full synthetic, and synthetic is safe (often recommended) for the 2006 Mitsubishi Raider. What matters most is matching the factory viscosity and specification, then changing the oil and filter on schedule.
