2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse Oil Change Questions

  • What can low oil do to my Mitsubishi Eclipse engine? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil runs low, these parts can grind together, overheat, and eventually lead to Mitsubishi Eclipse engine failure. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Mitsubishi Eclipse oil at home? First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Mitsubishi Eclipse exhaust smoke grayish or blue? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, damaged piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who offers Mitsubishi Eclipse oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs Mitsubishi Eclipse oil changes and more! Our technicians also replace oil filters, troubleshoot oil leaks, and advise on the right oil for your ride.
  • Why is the oil light on in my Mitsubishi Eclipse? Your Mitsubishi Eclipse oil change reminder light might illuminate if it’s been too long since your last oil change. On the other hand, the oil pressure light might illuminate due to a clogged oil filter, a faulty oil pressure sensor, low engine oil levels, or a malfunctioning oil pump.
  • Does my Eclipse's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? It's recommended that you replace your Mitsubishi Eclipse oil filter with every oil change. Otherwise, you send fresh, clean motor oil through a dirty filter. That's like putting on muddy socks after a shower.
