Scheduled Maintenance for Your 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse

What is the maintenance schedule for the 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse?

Here’s Why 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse Scheduled Maintenance Matters

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. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Eclipse maintenance. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2001 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; 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. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Eclipse's life, increase your vehicle safety, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse problems later.

Essential Maintenance to Keep Your Mitsubishi Eclipse Running Newer, Longer

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse and our technicians will jump right in with 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. 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 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse? In general, car batteries only last three to 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. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Eclipse) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Mitsubishi Eclipse won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse engine. See Mitsubishi's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2001 Eclipse in the chart at the top 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. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 2001 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. When it comes to steering and suspension, you want to catch small problems before they turn into big (and expensive) ones. Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, perform Mitsubishi Eclipse suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Mitsubishi Eclipse's steering system with regular maintenance.

Without routine Mitsubishi Eclipse maintenance, you could be feeling the heat on the road – literally! A malfunctioning A/C system or overheating engine can wreak havoc on your car.

  • What do I do if I hit a pothole in my Mitsubishi Eclipse? You know your Mitsubishi Eclipse better than anyone else, so you’ll know if something doesn’t feel right while driving. Have your alignment checked (and adjusted if necessary) as soon as you notice a pulling steering wheel to prevent suspension damage or uneven tire wear.
  • When does my Mitsubishi Eclipse need high mileage oil? Do you have more than 75,000 miles on your Mitsubishi Eclipse? If so, request to switch to high mileage oil at your next oil change. This type of oil is specially formulated to keep aging engine parts in the best possible condition.
  • Can I ignore dashboard lights on my Mitsubishi? It's better to get them addressed as soon as possible. An illuminated dashboard light means something in your vehicle isn't functioning like it should. Letting problems linger can mean bad news for your Mitsubishi Eclipse, so be sure to take your car in for service as soon as you notice an illuminated dashboard light
