Mitsubishi recommends changing your 1996 3000GT’s oil at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your 3000GT in the above table. No matter the mileage, your 3000GT may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Mitsubishi if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, go off-roading a lot, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Mitsubishi 3000GT.

Oil Change Q&A for Your 1996 Mitsubishi 3000GT

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Mitsubishi 3000GT? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, these components can grind against each other, overheat, and eventually lead to Mitsubishi 3000GT engine failure. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • How hard is it to change Mitsubishi 3000GT oil at home? First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Mitsubishi exhaust smoke gray or blue? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, blown piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my Mitsubishi 3000GT? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs Mitsubishi 3000GT oil changes and more! Our technicians also replace oil filters, troubleshoot oil leaks, and advise on the right oil for your ride.
  • Why is the oil light on in my Mitsubishi 3000GT? Your Mitsubishi 3000GT oil change reminder light might illuminate if it’s been too long since your last oil change. On the other hand, the oil pressure light might illuminate due to a clogged oil filter, a faulty oil pressure sensor, low engine oil levels, or a malfunctioning oil pump.
  • Do I need to replace my 3000GT’s oil filter when changing my oil? It's recommended that you replace your Mitsubishi 3000GT oil filter with every oil change. Otherwise, you send fresh, clean motor oil through a dirty filter. That's like putting on muddy socks after a shower.
