Hi,
I've Mitsubishi Grandis, model year: 2006, engine: 2.4L, engine model: 4G69, Kilometers:500,000 in United Arab Emirates. The car engine is consuming oil for the last 8-9months. Approximately 3litres in a month. It runs around 7000km in a month. Oil light also starting going on and off recently 3-4months back. The mechanic told engine oil pump is not working properly. He has recommended to repair/overhaul the engine. But as you know Mitsubishi parts are very expensive. Kindly advice whether I should replace engine with the used engines imported from Japan or repair/overhaul it. Is Mitsubishi Galant engine same as Grandis becoz Galant engine has the same model 4G69.
Thanks

Hmmm? You are going to know better than I could what whole engine is available to be an exact match for this car. They can and do vary depending on place they will be sold new.
You have enough KMs and oil consumption that you have probably been caught too low for comfort.
My opinion is that factory new will be more likely to last longer than even a very well done overhaul,

Thanks for your advice. But it's not feasible to buy a new engine as it's extremely expensive & nobody here replaces their old engine with the new engine. This car is worth $6000 only and the used engine from Japan can be replaced for approximalety $1200 inclusive of labor charges. What do you suggest?

Used sure seems good at a glance. You are at the mercy of who checked it out and declared it good with test results and a history. It's helpful here as they come with more of the assorted stuff that you would have either as spare parts or not have to swap over.
#1 is IT MUST BE AN EXACT MATCH FOR WHAT YOU HAVE OR IT WILL BE ENDLESS HEADACHES UP TO A WASTE OF MONEY, LABOR TO FIND IT JUST ISN'T GOING TO COOPERATE IN YOUR SPECIFIC VEHICLE!
I simply can't know from here what is available to you or how dependable the source is nor the mechanic who you need to know can handle this,
