Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 1983 Mighty Max 2.0L.
The 1983 Mitsubishi Mighty Max 2.0L is the 2.0-liter-engined variant of the truck, with routine oil service calling for 3.7 quarts of 20W-20, 20W-40, or 20W-50 viscosity oil. Because the model’s recorded complaint history covers only 1990 through 1996, the 1983 model year predates that window and has no direct position within it. Within the documented span, complaints peaked at 11 for the 1991 model year and bottomed out at 3 for 1996, meaning the 1983 Mighty Max falls outside those benchmarks and cannot be compared against them.
