Take care of your Mitsubishi Eclipse and it'll take care of you. With proactive maintenance, your Eclipse could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark.

Just follow your 1990 Mitsubishi Eclipse maintenance schedule!

Mitsubishi knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Eclipse perform better, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1990 Mitsubishi Eclipse problems in the future.

Essential Maintenance to Keep Your Mitsubishi Eclipse Running Newer, Longer

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1990 Mitsubishi Eclipse for factory-recommended routine maintenance and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Eclipse's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1990 Mitsubishi Eclipse. Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Mitsubishi Eclipse battery, and so can frequent short drives. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Eclipse stranded. Your Mitsubishi Eclipse could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can help your 1990 Mitsubishi Eclipse's engine run smoother. See Mitsubishi's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1990 Eclipse in the chart at the top of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 1990 Mitsubishi Eclipse? We can help with that, too!

Routine upkeep for your Mitsubishi Eclipse suspension and steering system 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. Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, provide the appropriate Mitsubishi Eclipse steering and suspension services. This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. Components within your Mitsubishi Eclipse's steering system require regular maintenance.

If you skip recommended Mitsubishi Eclipse services, you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C. Don’t sweat it, though! Our technicians can take care of those issues, too. At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we have what it takes to provide top-notch service for your Mitsubishi Eclipse engine heating and cooling systems, as well as your air conditioning. Need a new Mitsubishi Eclipse radiator? We can take care of that. Got a funny smell coming from your A/C? We’re here to fix that, too. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your one-stop shop for 1990 Mitsubishi Eclipse maintenance and repairs.

Don’t wait until something goes wrong with your car. Visit your nearest location for proactive maintenance today.

1990 Mitsubishi Eclipse Maintenance Questions

Take an active role in maintaining your 1990 Mitsubishi Eclipse. Get answers to common Mitsubishi Eclipse maintenance questions and learn more about caring for your vehicle.

  • What should I do after hitting a pothole in my Mitsubishi Eclipse? Check your car for pothole damage! If you’ve recently hit a pothole (or even if you don’t remember hitting one… they can be sneaky!) check your tire treads, tire sidewalls, and wheels for damage. Potholes can also knock your car out of alignment, so have your alignment checked if you suspect you’ve driven over a rough patch of road lately.
  • When should I switch my Mitsubishi Eclipse to high mileage oil? Got 75,000+ miles on the odometer? Consider high mileage motor oil. High mileage oil is formulated to address the specific problems encountered by high mileage vehicles, or those with more than 75,000 miles. It can help reduce oil consumption, smoke, and emissions from older Mitsubishi Eclipse engines.
  •  Why are my Mitsubishi dashboard lights on? It's better to get them addressed as soon as possible. An illuminated dashboard light means something in your vehicle isn't functioning like it should. Letting problems linger can mean bad news for your Mitsubishi Eclipse, so be sure to take your car in for service as soon as you notice an illuminated dashboard light
