Oil Change Q&A for Your 1991 Mitsubishi Eclipse

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Mitsubishi Eclipse? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these components can grind against each other, generate excess heat, and eventually lead to Mitsubishi Eclipse engine failure. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Mitsubishi Eclipse oil at home? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce 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? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, blown piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Who offers Mitsubishi Eclipse oil changes? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for Mitsubishi Eclipse 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 can cause the oil light on my Mitsubishi Eclipse to illuminate? Your Mitsubishi Eclipse 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 Eclipse? It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your Mitsubishi Eclipse every time you change the oil.
