2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Mitsubishi Eclipse and it'll take care of you. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Eclipse. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. There's no need to guess when it's time to get Eclipse maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Mitsubishi themselves. 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. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Eclipse running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse for factory-recommended routine maintenance and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Eclipse. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse? 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. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Mitsubishi Eclipse battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! 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 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 2000 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 2000 Eclipse. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse.

Maintaining your Mitsubishi Eclipse steering and suspension 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. 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. 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. A damaged A/C system is never fun, and an overheated engine can cause significant issues (like a total car breakdown!). 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’ve got your back. Is your A/C blowing hot air? We'll fix it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is the place to go for 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse maintenance.
