1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse Maintenance

When it comes to your Mitsubishi Eclipse, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Eclipse. But how do you know what service to get and when? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Eclipse, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Mitsubishi themselves. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of 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, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse for factory-recommended routine maintenance and a skilled technician will start the appointment 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.

Could your 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse be ready for a new battery? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years). There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your Mitsubishi Eclipse battery. 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 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse's engine run smoother. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 1999 Eclipse. 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'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse.
