When to Change 2003 Mitsubishi Diamante Engine Oil

Not sure how or where to get your Mitsubishi Diamante’s oil changed? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. Oil and lube services are also our specialties. 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.

Your 2003 Diamante’s oil should be changed according to Mitsubishi’s recommended oil change intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. No matter the mileage, your Diamante may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or notice excess vehicle exhaust.

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.

2003 Mitsubishi Diamante Oil Change Q&A

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Mitsubishi Diamante? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If you're low or out of oil, these parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and eventually lead to Mitsubishi Diamante engine failure. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • How hard is it to change 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 help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Mitsubishi Diamante spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, fried piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my Mitsubishi Diamante? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for Mitsubishi Diamante 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.
  • What does it mean if my Mitsubishi Diamante oil light comes on? Your Mitsubishi Diamante oil change reminder light might illuminate if it’s been too long since your last oil change. On the other hand, the oil pressure light might illuminate due to a clogged oil filter, a faulty oil pressure sensor, low engine oil levels, or a malfunctioning oil pump.
  • Do I need to replace my Diamante’s oil filter when changing my oil? It's recommended that you replace your Mitsubishi Diamante 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.
