When to Change 1996 Mitsubishi Diamante Engine Oil

Not sure how or where to get your Mitsubishi Diamante’s oil changed? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. We know all about motor oil, too. 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.”

Your 1996 Diamante’s oil should be changed according to Mitsubishi’s recommended oil change intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Your Diamante 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 see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Mitsubishi recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, enjoy off-roading, or drive at low speeds for long distances. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Mitsubishi Diamante. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

What Kind of Oil Should I Get for My Mitsubishi Diamante?

Whether you need high mileage oil, synthetic oil, or conventional oil, you'll find the right 1996 Mitsubishi Diamante motor oil at Firestone Complete Auto Care. Mitsubishi has specifically identified either synthetic or conventional as the ideal engine oil for your 1996 Diamante. Motor oil reduces friction between engine components, keep the engine cool, and keep harmful substances from building up inside the engine. During an oil change, a technician will change your Diamante's oil, replace and recycle your used oil and filter, inspect the rest of your car’s filters, refill vital car fluids, and perform a free inspection on the rest of your vehicle. You can rest assured knowing that we seek to do what’s best for your Diamante by considering your driving preferences, and odometer.

Wondering what motor oil brands you can find at Firestone Complete Auto Care? Your Diamante engine deserves the very best, which is why we only stock the best! Check your owner's manual and talk with a technician to select the right Mitsubishi Diamante oil, whether it's Quaker State® Advanced Durability™ conventional oil, Pennzoil® High Mileage Vehicle® motor oil, Pennzoil Platinum® Full Synthetic motor oil with PurePlus™ Technology, or Shell Rotella® heavy-duty engine oil. There's a reason we carry these motor oil brands. They are tested and trusted.

Oil Change Q&A for Your 1996 Mitsubishi Diamante

  • Should I check my Mitsubishi Diamante motor oil level? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil runs low, these parts can grind together, overheat, and eventually lead to Mitsubishi Diamante engine failure. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • Can I change my Mitsubishi Diamante oil at home? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Mitsubishi exhaust smoke gray or blue? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, fried piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who offers Mitsubishi Diamante oil changes? You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your Mitsubishi Diamante oil change, oil filter replacement, oil leak diagnostics, and more! Our expert technicians will even advise the right oil for your vehicle.
  • What does it mean if my Mitsubishi Diamante oil light comes on? Your Mitsubishi Diamante 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.
  • Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my Mitsubishi Diamante? Every time you change the oil in your Mitsubishi Diamante, you should also replace the oil filter. Otherwise, you risk contaminating your brand-new oil with the dirt and debris built up in your old filter.
