Mitsubishi recommends having your 1998 Mitsubishi Diamante’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Outside of Mitsubishi-recommended oil change intervals, your Diamante may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock 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, go off-roading a lot, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Mitsubishi Diamante. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.

1998 Mitsubishi Diamante Oil Change Q&A

  • Should I check my Mitsubishi Diamante motor oil level? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, these components can grind against each other, generate excess heat, and cause your Diamante’s engine to fail. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Mitsubishi Diamante oil at home? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Mitsubishi exhaust smoke gray or blue? 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. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, blown piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Mitsubishi Diamante oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs Mitsubishi Diamante oil changes and more! Our technicians also replace oil filters, troubleshoot oil leaks, and advise on the right oil for your ride.
  • What can cause the oil light on my Mitsubishi Diamante to illuminate? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Mitsubishi Diamante oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.
  • Do I need to replace my Diamante’s oil filter when changing my oil? You should replace your Mitsubishi Diamante during each oil change. The filter captures debris and contaminants to help keep your oil clean, which means the filter gets dirty. If you skip replacing the filter, you’ll contaminate your new oil with the dirty filter.
