1996 Mitsubishi Eclipse Maintenance

You want your Mitsubishi Eclipse to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Eclipse. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Eclipse maintenance. Just follow your 1996 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, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Eclipse's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 1996 Mitsubishi Eclipse problems.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1996 Mitsubishi Eclipse and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. 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.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1996 Mitsubishi Eclipse? In general, car batteries only last 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. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Eclipse stranded. Your Mitsubishi Eclipse won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can help your 1996 Mitsubishi Eclipse's engine run smoother. To learn how often Mitsubishi recommends you have the oil changed in your 1996 Eclipse, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 1996 Mitsubishi Eclipse? We can help with that, too!

Periodic service to the steering system in your Mitsubishi Eclipse can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. Don’t let a misalignment or pulling steering wheel put you in danger. You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system and, if needed, 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 might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally. A damaged A/C system is never fun, and an overheated engine can cause significant issues (like a total car breakdown!). Our technicians have you covered there, too, with the tools and expertise to care for your entire Mitsubishi Eclipse cooling, heating, and climate control system. Need a new Mitsubishi Eclipse radiator? We’ve got your back. A/C smelling musty? We’re here to fix that, too.
