We know the ins and outs of motor oil, too. After all, "Oil is the blood of the engine. It's the #1 thing you can do for your car," says our maintenance technician, Brianna.

Mitsubishi recommends changing your 2001 Diamante’s oil 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 knocking sounds coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Mitsubishi if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, go off-roading a lot, or drive at low speeds for long distances. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm 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.

2001 Mitsubishi Diamante Oil Change Questions

  • What can low oil do to my Mitsubishi Diamante engine? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these components can grind against each other, overheat, and cause your Mitsubishi Diamante engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Mitsubishi Diamante oil at home? First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Mitsubishi Diamante exhaust smoke grayish or blue? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, fried 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.
  • Does my Diamante's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? 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.
