2004 Mitsubishi Eclipse Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Mitsubishi Eclipse and it'll take care of you. 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. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Eclipse, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2004 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, 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. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Eclipse's life, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2004 Mitsubishi Eclipse problems later.

Bring your 2004 Mitsubishi Eclipse to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services 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 2004 Mitsubishi Eclipse? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Eclipse may need a replacement battery sooner. 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! Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Eclipse stranded. Your Mitsubishi Eclipse won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can help your 2004 Mitsubishi Eclipse's engine run smoother. See Mitsubishi's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2004 Eclipse in the chart at the top of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 2004 Mitsubishi Eclipse.
