1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse Maintenance

You want your Mitsubishi Eclipse to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, your Eclipse has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. There's no need to guess when it's time to get Eclipse maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Mitsubishi, your vehicle manufacturer. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Eclipse running for longer, increase your vehicle safety, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse problems later.

Bring your 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and an expert technician will begin by performing 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. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Eclipse’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1997 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. If you keep driving on a battery that can't hold a charge, you run the risk of being stranded when your battery finally gives out (and no one can predict where that might be!). Your Mitsubishi Eclipse won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can help your 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse's engine run smoother. See Mitsubishi's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1997 Eclipse in the chart at the top of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse.

Routine upkeep for your Mitsubishi Eclipse suspension and steering system can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions.

This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Mitsubishi Eclipse's steering and suspension system.

If you skip recommended Mitsubishi Eclipse services, you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally.

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.
