1996 Mitsubishi Diamante Maintenance Schedule

When it comes to your Mitsubishi Diamante, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With proactive maintenance, your Diamante could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. There's no need to guess when it's time to get Diamante maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Just follow your 1996 Mitsubishi Diamante maintenance schedule!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Mitsubishi, your vehicle manufacturer. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Diamante running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1996 Mitsubishi Diamante problems later.

Bring your 1996 Mitsubishi Diamante to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Diamante. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Could your 1996 Mitsubishi Diamante be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Diamante may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Mitsubishi Diamante battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! If you keep driving on a battery that can't hold a charge, you run the risk of being stranded when your battery finally gives out (and no one can predict where that might be!). Your Mitsubishi Diamante won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 1996 Mitsubishi Diamante engine. See Mitsubishi's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1996 Diamante in the chart at the top of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 1996 Mitsubishi Diamante.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Mitsubishi Diamante can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!). When it comes to steering and suspension, you want to catch small problems before they turn into big (and expensive) ones. You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system and, if needed, perform Mitsubishi Diamante suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. Components within your Mitsubishi Diamante's steering system require regular maintenance.

If you skip recommended Mitsubishi Diamante services, you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally. A damaged A/C system is never fun, and an overheated engine can cause significant issues (like a total car breakdown!). Our technicians have you covered there, too, with the tools and expertise to care for your entire Mitsubishi Diamante cooling, heating, and climate control system. Need a new Mitsubishi Diamante radiator? We can take care of that. A/C smelling musty? We’re on it.
