Mitsubishi recommends changing your 1997 3000GT’s oil at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Your 3000GT may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear engine knocking, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice excess vehicle exhaust.

In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Mitsubishi 3000GT. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.
