When to Change 1999 Mitsubishi 3000GT Engine Oil

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 1999 Mitsubishi 3000GT? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. Oil and lube services are also our specialties. We couldn’t put it better than our technician, Brianna. She likes to explain to customers that, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Mitsubishi recommends changing your 1999 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 knocking sounds coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Mitsubishi recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, adventure off-road, or drive at low speeds for long distances. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Mitsubishi 3000GT. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

What’s the Right Type of Oil for 1999 Mitsubishi 3000GT?

Whether it’s synthetic, conventional, or a blend of both — your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right oil for your Mitsubishi 3000GT. Mitsubishi has most likely outlined either synthetic or conventional as the best oil for 1999 Mitsubishi 3000GT vehicles. This oil helps lubricate engine parts, maintain proper engine temperature, and prevent harmful substances from accumulating in the engine. During an oil change, an auto technician will change your 3000GT’s oil, replace and recycle the old oil and filter, check all of your other filters, top-off essential fluids, and perform a courtesy inspection on your entire vehicle. You can drive with confidence knowing that we look out for you and your 3000GT by taking into account your driving style, and the number of miles on your odometer.

1999 Mitsubishi 3000GT Oil Change Questions

  • 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, engine parts can grind together, 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.
  • Can I change my Mitsubishi oil on my own? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Mitsubishi 3000GT spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, damaged piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my Mitsubishi 3000GT? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for Mitsubishi 3000GT oil changes. In addition to changing your oil, our experienced technicians also perform oil filter replacements, troubleshoot oil leaks, and suggest the correct oil to help keep your engine performing its best.
  • Why is my Mitsubishi 3000GT oil light illuminated? Your Mitsubishi 3000GT oil change reminder light may come on if you're overdue for an oil change. The oil pressure light will typically come on if the oil level in the engine is too low, the oil pump is failing, you have a clogged oil filter, or there's a faulty oil pressure sensor.
  • Do I need to change my 3000GT's oil filter when I get an oil change? 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.
